    Abstract A new scoring balloon Aperta NSE has 3 longitudinal nylon elements mounted on the non-compliant balloon surface. Although a high-pressure balloon is usually used as a post-dilation balloon in an implanted stent, it is difficult to pass into the stents because a balloon gets caught in stents in some cases. Aperta NSE has some grooves at elements; therefore, this balloon is bendable and shaped in an arc. The bent scoring balloon could eliminate interference between the balloon and the stents or lesions. Moreover, the point where the tip of the balloon contacts could change. As a result, it helps to improve crossability of this balloon. The bending technique of a scoring balloon Aperta NSE could lead to successful crossing into stents or complex lesions.

    Abstract Many papers estimate the price elasticity of water demand. However, heterogeneity and temporal variation of price elasticity of residential water use are still unclear. We analyze these issues by applying the latent class analysis and t-test using disaggregated data of approximately 30,000 households recorded over five years: Two years before and three years after a tariff revision. As a result, the households are divided into three (heterogeneous) groups: About 5% of them responded to the price change sensitively, 40–60% slightly, and 35–55% not at all. Households with high water use prior to the revision had higher price elasticity. In addition, the price elasticity in the first and third years after the revision was the same.

    Abstract A bidirectional approach for percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusion (CTO-PCI) using ipsilateral collaterals with a single guiding catheter limits procedural choices. The CTO of the left circumflex artery with ipsilateral collateral artery was treated by the bidirectional approach using a single guiding catheter. While the retrograde wire directly crossed the CTO lesion, the microcatheter could not pass the CTO lesion despite the conventional strategies. Therefore, we performed the wire rendezvous and chasing wire techniques. The wire rendezvous technique enables deeper retrograde guidewire progression, and the antegrade microcatheter can reach the CTO entry. The chasing wire technique enables the antegrade guidewire to pass the route made by the retrograde guidewire. These techniques might offer a possible solution for bidirectional CTO-PCI using a single guiding catheter. However, this technique should be considered as a last resort because of the risk of rapid reocclusion.

    Abstract Excimer laser coronary atherectomy (ELCA), a unique percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) device, comprises a monorail-type system and is compatible with any standard 0.014-inch guidewire. ELCA is the only device that vaporizes the atherosclerotic plaques or modifies underlying plaque located underneath to a hard tissue, such as severe calcification or a stent. Therefore, ELCA differs from other coronary atherectomy devices and is useful for patients with acute coronary syndrome, chronic total occlusion or under-expanded stents. This case series reports on patients treated using ELCA to simplify complex PCI procedures. Furthermore, we review and discuss ELCA in several situations.

    Abstract Abstract In spite of the current optimal therapy, the mortality of patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) remains high, particularly in cases with diabetes mellitus (DM) as a co-morbidity. Myocardial infarct size is a major determinant of prognosis in IHD patients, and development of a novel strategy to limit infarction is of great clinical importance. Ischemic preconditioning (PC), postconditioning (PostC) and their mimetic agents have been shown to reduce infarct size in experiments using healthy animals. However, a variety of pharmacological agents have failed to demonstrate infarct size limitation in clinical trials. One of the possible reasons for the discrepancy between the results of animal experiments and clinical trials is that co-morbidities, including DM, modified myocardial responses to ischemia/reperfusion and to cardioprotective agents. Here we summarize observations of the effects of DM on myocardial infarct size and ischemic PC and PostC and discuss perspectives for protection of DM hearts.

    Abstract Since endovascular treatment for peripheral artery disease has been rapidly and widely adopted as the preferred strategy, interventionists sometimes experience complications such as vessel perforation and severe dissections. We have a long-time inflation strategy for perfusion balloon catheters, which could be a solution for vessel complications in coronary sections, but not in peripheral sections. We invented a simple device for application as a perfusion balloon in peripheral sections, using a 0.035″ wire compatible rapid-exchange balloon Metacross RX™ (TERUMO, Tokyo, Japan) and reviewed this strategy using three cases as examples and compared them with the coronary perfusion balloon.
    Table of contents summary: Metacross RX (TERUMO, Tokyo, Japan) is being used as a rapid exchange balloon and can be potentially used as a perfusion balloon. We report a series of cases in which patients were treated using the Metacross RX at a single-center for endovascular treatment of peripheral artery disease. We review and discuss the use of this device in comparison with the conventional coronary perfusion balloon catheter.

    Abstract Background: The relationship between eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) therapy and coronary plaque stability assessed by optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) has not been thoroughly described.
    Hypothesis: EPA therapy is associated with decreased plaque instability in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using OFDI.
    Methods: Data on coronary artery plaques from 121 patients who consecutively underwent PCI between October 2015 and July 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Of these patients, 109 were untreated (no-EPA group), whereas 12 were treated with EPA (EPA group). Each plaque's morphological characteristics were analyzed using OFDI.
    Results: We used 1:4 propensity score matching for patients who received or did not receive EPA therapy before PCI. Baseline characteristics were balanced between both groups (age, sex, body mass index, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease, smoking, previous PCI or coronary artery bypass grafting, previous myocardial infarction, prior statin use, acute coronary syndrome, hemoglobin A1c level, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration, triglyceride concentration, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration). OFDI data from 60 patients were analyzed in this study. The EPA group had significantly lower mean lipid index (818 ± 806 vs 1574 ± 891) and macrophage grade (13.5 ± 5.9 vs 19.3 ± 7.4) but higher mean minimum fibrous cap thickness (109.2 ± 55.7 vs 81.6 ± 36.4 μm) than the no-EPA group (P = 0.010, 0.019, and 0.040, respectively). Multiple logistic regression analyses showed that prior EPA use was independently associated with lower lipid index and macrophage grade (P = 0.043 and 0.024, respectively).
    Conclusion: This OFDI analysis suggests that EPA therapy is associated with decreased plaque instability in patients undergoing PCI.
