We describe the case of a 79-year-old gentleman presenting with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction and a heavily calcified bifurcation stenosis of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and the diagonal branch. On optical coherence tomography (OCT), we encountered circular calcium in the LAD. Based on these findings, we decided to use intravascular lithoplasty (Shockwave Medical, Fremont, California) to prepare the extremely calcified lesion. The subsequent OCT investigation demonstrated calcium containing cracks in the intima and the media of the LAD. We were then able to treat the bifurcation lesion with two everolimus-eluting stents. The final OCT demonstrated good stent expansion and apposition. Extensive and deep calcified coronary artery disease represents a common cause for failure of percutaneous coronary interventions, including the inability to deliver a stent system or stent underexpansion, which represents an important determinant for instent restenosis or stent thrombosis. Our case illustrates how a heavily calcified LAD lesion can be relatively easily treated using the novel Shockwave Medical Coronary Lithoplasty balloon system®. Full article

Abstract
Differences in pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and outcomes of cardiovascular disease in men and women have been known for decades, but are not fully understood; women are underrepresented in most cardiovascular trials. Furthermore, women remain a minority in interventional cardiology and clinical cardiac electrophysiology. [...] Read more.
