Figure 1 Coronary angiogram of case 1.
A and B: A severe calcific lesion in the left anterior descending coronary artery and proximal major obtuse marginal artery; C-E: An optical coherence tomography showed circumferential (white arrows) and deep calcium arc (blue arrow) prior to percutaneous coronary intervention.
Figure 2 Coronary angiogram of case 2.
A-C: A severe calcific lesion in the left anterior descending coronary artery; D-F: Optical coherence tomography showed circumferential calcium and deep calcium (blue arrow) prior to percutaneous coronary intervention.
Figure 3 Post intravascular lithotripsy optical coherence tomography images of left anterior descending coronary artery of case 1 depicting calcium fracture (white arrow).
Figure 4 Post percutaneous coronary intervention coronary angiogram.
A: Post percutaneous coronary intervention coronary angiogram showed a well expanded left anterior descending coronary artery in case 1; B: Post percutaneous coronary intervention coronary angiogram showed fully expanded stent and thrombolysis in myocardial infarction 3 flow in case 2.
