Figure Lengend Snippet: Right Coronary Artery Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Final Steps Left heart catheterization showing (A) 0.9-mm laser atherectomy performed without difficulty. (B) The right coronary artery lesion was predilated with an NC balloon, and percutaneous coronary intervention was performed using a 4.0 × 48 mm drug-eluting stent. (C) Final image of the right coronary artery highlighting the collaterals to the left anterior descending artery.

Figure Lengend Snippet: LAD CTO Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Final Steps Left heart catheterization showing (A) dual injection system. (B) FineCross catheter advanced to the second septal branch and BMW wire placed in the distal LAD; converted to antegrade approach. (C) An 0.9-mm laser atherectomy performed in the left anterior descending artery. (D) Final angiogram of the left anterior descending artery showing TIMI flow grade 3. The upper arrow in B indicates FineCross catheter and the lower one in indicates Suoh 03 wire in the distal septal branch. The arrow in C indicates tip of the laser atherectomy catheter.
