How to perform multilevel plaque modification.
Guiding catheter extension to improve support and stent delivery.
IVUS assessment before and after stenting.

Step-by-Step Procedure

Arterial Femoral access 7F, Temporary pace-maker insertion and RCA catheterization with JR4 7F Guiding catheter.
Crossing the lesion using Whisper LS coronary PCI guidewire.
Exchange the Coronary guidewire with Rotawire Extra support guidewire using a Finecross microcatheter.
Rotational atherectomy runs from proximal RCA to the distal bifurcation with 1.5mm Burr.
IVUS assessment showing optimal plaque modification.
Predilatation with 3.0x20mm balloon and Rotawire exchange to BMW 0.014 guidewire.
Stenting of the distal bifurcation with 4.5x18mm Onyx Drug Eluting Stent using Guideliner catheter extension.
