| Abstract: | Background: Heavily calcified coronary artery disease (CAD) represents one of the most technically demanding challenges in interventional cardiology, as calcium deposits limit appropriate lesion preparation and adequate stent expansion. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 56-year-old male with double-vessel disease involving critical stenosis of the proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD) and mid-to-distal right coronary artery (RCA). Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was performed under dual-modality intravascular imaging guidance using the Makoto near-infrared spectroscopy and intravascular ultrasound (NIRS-IVUS) system. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) was employed for calcium modification prior to drug-eluting stent (DES) deployment. Results: NIRS-IVUS revealed circumferential calcium arcs up to 360° in the proximal LAD with concealed lipid-rich plaque [maxLCBI₄mm = 788], and a mixed calcific-fibrotic lesion in the mid-RCA [maxLCBI₄mm = 249]. Following IVL and DES deployment, post-intervention imaging demonstrated a minimal stent area (MSA) of 5.6 mm² in the LAD and 3.6–5.3 mm² across RCA segments, with LCBI₄mm scores reduced to 486 and 106, respectively. Conclusion: This case underscores the complementary value of NIRS-IVUS imaging and IVL-assisted lesion preparation in achieving optimal stent outcomes in complex calcific coronary lesions. The detection of lipid-rich plaque concealed beneath calcium using NIRS provided clinical insights that IVUS alone could not offer. |
