A 69-year-old female patient presented to cardiac surgery department with unstable angina due to severe coronary artery disease. Coronary artery bypass grafting was indicated; however, the patient's symptoms of achalasia, previously treated by the pneumatic dilatation, exacerbated. Subsequently, the patient underwent simultaneous surgery. After sternotomy, on cardiopulmonary bypass, esophagus was exposed and Heller myotomy was performed. Following cardioplegia, coronary artery bypass grafting was completed. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on postoperative Day 9. In conclusion, this novel surgical technique can be effectively used in such cases.

Effect of optimal lesion preparation prior to implantation of a magnesium-based bioresorbable scaffold: 12-month results of the OPTIMIS study.

Background: Lumen reduction after bioresorbable scaffold implantation has been reported. This study aimed to assess the influence of pre-dilatation with a scoring balloon versus a standard non-compliant balloon prior to implanting a magnesium-based Magmaris bioresorbable scaffold (MgBRS) on lumen measurements using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and on clinical outcomes after 12 months.
Method: In the OPTIMIS-study (Optimal lesion preparation before implantation of a MgBRS in patients with coronary artery stenosis), patients were randomly assigned to pre-dilatation with a scoring balloon or a standard non-compliant balloon before MgBRS implantation.
A Revised Optical Coherence Tomography-Derived Calcium Score to Predict Stent Underexpansion in Severely Calcified Lesions.

Background: Severe calcification is the morphology most strongly associated with stent underexpansion.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to revise an optical coherence tomography (OCT)-derived calcium score to predict stent underexpansion in severely calcified lesions (angle >270°) using a point-based system.
Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted in which 250 de novo lesions undergoing OCT-guided stenting, with angiographically visible calcium and optical coherence tomographic maximum superficial calcium angle >270°, not subjected to atherectomy or specialty balloon treatment before stent implantation, were randomly divided into derivation (n = 167) and validation (n = 83) cohorts.
Global Algorithm for the Endovascular Treatment of Chronic Femoropopliteal Lesions: An Interdisciplinary Expert Opinion Statement.
JACC Cardiovasc Interv

Department of Cardiology and Vascular Medicine, West German Heart and Vascular Center, University of Duisburg-Essen, Essen, Germany.
A global treatment algorithm was developed for the endovascular revascularization of femoropopliteal lesions and chronic total occlusions, aiming toward a more standardized approach to endovascular treatment in patients with peripheral artery disease. The following steps are proposed. 1) Evaluation of lesion morphology based on preprocedural imaging by Duplex sonography and intravenous ultrasound for selection of lesion preparation tools.
