An 8 Fr long sheath was inserted through the right femoral artery and the left coronary artery was engaged with an 8 Fr XB 3.5 guiding catheter. The wire, 0.014-inch Sion wire, was inserted into the LAD and another wire, 0.014-in Sion Blue wire, was inserted into the diagonal branch. We checked IVUS at both LAD and DI, which showed severe ring-shaped calcified plaque on the previous stents, after applying compliant balloon dilation up to 6 atm (1.2mm) at the LAD ( Movie 6, Movie 7, Figure 1). We decided to perform rotablation for the heavily calcified in-stent restenotic lesion. A 0.014 inch Rotawire was inserted at the LAD and stepwise rotablation was done with 1.75 mm burr ( Movie 8). Then, a 0.014 inch Rotawire was inserted to diagonal branch and stepwise rotablation was done with 1.75 mm burr ( Movie 9) as well. After rotablation, the diameter of the LAD and diagonal branch ostium became bigger. We applied non-compliant balloon dilation up to 24 atm (3.2 mm) at both the proximal to mid LAD and diagonal branch several times to obtain enough space for subsequent drug-eluting balloons (Figure 2, Figure 3, Movie 10). We applied drug-eluting balloon dilation up to 10 atm (3.24 mm) at both the proximal to mid LAD and diagonal branch by kissing balloon (Figure 4). The final angiogram showed good results ( Movie 11, Movie 12).
