Figure Lengend Snippet: Images Location (A) Top: 7 Fr guiding catheter with an IVUS catheter proximal to the cutting balloon that is placed at the level of the lesion. This setup allows for an almost immediate interchange of treatment and diagnostic and optimizes the effect of the therapy. (B–F) Center: The effect of multiplying the cutting balloon inflations. The blue and the green dots represent the two guidewires. (G) Bottom Left: The “Cutting” effect with separation of the plaque into multiple smaller fragments: see Red Triangle. (H) Bottom Right: The “Chiseling” indicates superficial fissures related to multiple CB inflations. [Color figure can be viewed at wileyonlinelibrary.com ]
