a bifurcation lesion with calcied plaque (a), alternating balloon ination appears to have sufciently dilated both the MB and SB, since there are no indentations when the balloon is inated in either branch (b). However, alternating balloon ination has caused carina shift and deformation of the SB shoulder, which have transiently eliminated the indentations in the body of the SB balloon so that the SB ostium seems to have been dilated sufciently (b). During KBI, one or more indentations may reappear in the body of the balloon (c). In this setting, it is uncertain whether such indentations can be eliminated by raising the KBI pressure. Since high- pressure KBI is associated with a signicant risk of dissection or perforation, performing KBI with two scoring balloons (e.g., a Lacrosse NSE) at a low pressure is better

Fig. 2.29 Optimal selection
of scoring balloon angioplasty or POBA according to the severity of stenosis and calcication
Bifurcation lesions should be adequately prepared by appropriate use of a scoring balloon (e.g., a Lacrosse NSE) as required. The scoring balloon should usually be one­quarter size smaller than the diameter of the target vessel
2.3.2 KBI forPost-dilatation
Except in these situations, stenting should generally be followed by KBI.If the proximal MB has a large diameter, POT should be performed before nal KBI.The reasons for this recommendation are as follows: (1) POT alone cannot achieve sufcient dilation of a bifurcation, including the carina (accurate POT is possible for an LAD-Dg ostial lesion that can be viewed en face on angiograms, but not for an LM-LAD-LCX lesion that is difcult or sometimes impos-
Even if the side branch is protected with a guidewire, KBI may not need to be performed for pre-dilatation or post­dilatation in the following situations: (1) if the SB has a rela­tively small diameter (<2.0mm) and only perfuses a small territory (Fig. 2.30), (2) if the proximal MB has a similar diameter to the distal MB, (3) if there is little plaque at the ostium of the SB, (4) if coronary angiography shows no sig­nicant stenosis at the SB ostium after stenting or POT of a LAD-Dg bifurcation lesion, and (5) if SB blood ow does not decrease after removal of the SB guidewire or after high-
sible to view en face). (2) An attempt to perform POT along the carina without knowing its true position may lead to over-dilatation and injure the proximal segment of the distal MB. (3) A balloon employed for POT, even if it reaches the carina, cannot be used to evenly dilate the proximal MB if plaques show maldistribution in this segment. (4) Considering that the proximal MB originally has an elliptical lumen, POT should be combined with KBI to dilate the proximal MB to an ellipse and thus achieve complete stent apposition (Fig.2.31).

MB has an elliptical lumen, POT combined with KBI should be used to dilate the proximal MB to an ellipse and thus achieve complete stent apposition
Here, I will explain my ideas about how to select the ideal type of balloon (including stent) and the ideal balloon size, as well as how to determine the balloon ination pressure. These points are also applicable to PCI for non-bifurcation lesions.
For pre-dilatation, you should basically choose a slightly undersized balloon that can be inated to the desired diam­eter at its rated burst pressure plus 4atm. You should steadily pre-dilate the lesion to adequately prepare it for stenting while preventing stent edge dissection due to over-dilatation of the lesion. If the lesion is severely calcied and is not dilated sufciently by POBA (even after rotablation), you should perform scoring balloon or cutting balloon angio­plasty, since this is the best way to completely avoid suboptimal dilatation after stenting. The Lacrosse NSE balloon for this purpose should be one-quarter size smaller than the diameter of the target vessel, so that it can be inated to the optimal size at its RBP plus 4atm. The balloon ination pressure should generally be escalated to the RBP plus 4atm.
The optimal balloon size depends on the situation. To determine the optimal size, you should assess the risk/benet ratio by considering the vessel diameter (external elastic membrane), inner diameter, and plaque eccentricity (particu­larly calcied plaques).

while maintaining this orientation. A guidewire that has been pre-shaped with an optimal tip curve (Fig.2.32d★) is better able to cross into the SB through the most distal cell at the bifurcation.

ing is performed before stent implantation, the bare wire technique can generally be employed. If SB wiring is found to be difcult after MB wiring or if MB wiring is difcult after SB wiring (intentionally done before MB wiring), you should advance a Crusade catheter over the rst guidewire. If
If the stent has an open cell design, it is optimal for the SB

the center of the SB lumen if the stent has a closed cell design. you are treating a bifurcation lesion distal to a long CIO, you should also use the Crusade catheter for SB wiring.
I always use a Crusade catheter for SB wiring after MB stenting. Although some interventionalists may criticize the overuse of limited medical resources, employing the Crusade catheter ensures wire crossing through the optimal cell of the stent, thus reducing the risk of SB jailing and difculty implanting a stent in the SB.It also alleviates possible prob­lems related to future SB intervention.
The Crusade catheter is also advantageous for SB wiring after ostial dissection or occlusion of the SB.If a Crusade is not used (bare wire technique), SB wiring will be difcult because the guidewire tip tends to become stuck on the prox­imal stent struts. Attempts at SB wiring by using a single guidewire with its original tip shape tend to fail and may rather enlarge the dissection. If you use a Crusade catheter, SB wiring can be retried many times by advancing the guide­wire from the tip of the catheter, and there is no stress on the wire from the proximal part of the stent. The Crusade also facilitates SB rewiring by using the same guidewire after modifying the tip shape or with a different guidewire. Thus, the Crusade catheter is useful for SB rewiring in most occlu­sions with most types of dissection.
Overall, use of the Crusade catheter improves the quality of PCI and eventually reduces the impact on medical resources.

Using a Crusade Catheter (SB Wiring After Stenting)
1. You should insert an SB guidewire into the over-the-
wire (OTW) lumen of the Crusade catheter (but do not
allow the tip to protrude from the catheter) and advance
the Crusade along the MB guidewire in the stent
(Fig.2.32a).
2. Advance the tip of the SB guidewire through a side hole
at the tip of the OTW lumen to reliably place the guide-
wire tip distal to the SB ostium in the stent (Fig.2.32b).
3. While keeping the two guidewires in place, you should
pull the Crusade catheter back so that its tip is 1–2 cm

Removing the Crusade Catheter
1. Trapping technique (Fig.2.33)
While maintaining the two guidewires in position, with­draw the Crusade catheter into the guiding catheter. Introduce a Kusabi® trapping balloon or a large-diameter (2.0 to
2.5mm) balloon catheter directly into the guiding catheter. Inate the balloon at about 10atm to trap the two guidewires and pull them back together with the balloon catheter. Never fail to remove the air trapped in the guiding catheter after deating the balloon. This is the safest and most reliable method for removing the Crusade.
2. Nanto’s technique (Fig.2.34)
This technique involves xing the guidewire in the mono­rail lumen and removing the Crusade catheter while advanc­ing the guidewire in the OTW lumen. It is safer to use an ination device (indeator) to advance the guidewire. I pre­fer this technique because it is quicker than the trapping technique.
1. First, you x the guidewire in the monorail lumen of the
Crusade catheter. While checking the position of the tip
of the guidewire in the OTW lumen by cineangiography,
pull the hub of the Crusade catheter back to the proximal
end of the OTW guidewire.
2. Monitor the pressure waveform and conrm that the cath-
eter is not wedged in the vessel. If the catheter becomes
wedged, air may be aspirated, or air that unexpectedly
enters the vessel from an ination device may not be let
out, possibly leading to air embolization.
3. Completely remove air from the ination device and con-
rm that the wire passes through the center of the ina-
tion device connector and is not caught by the connector.
Then connect the ination device to the Crusade
catheter.
4. Apply pressure on the OTW lumen of the catheter by
using the ination device.
5. In reaction to the advancing OTW guidewire, the Crusade
catheter will move back through the guiding catheter. To
prevent unexpected air embolization, keep the O-ring of
the Y-connector open.
6. You must continue to hold the guidewire in the monorail
lumen with your left hand or the guidewire will come out
spontaneously. Place your right hand lightly on the
Crusade catheter to support it.
7. When removing the Crusade catheter, the exit port of its monorail lumen will get stuck on your left hand. While continuing to apply pressure on the OTW lumen, move your left hand to a more proximal part of the monorail lumen guidewire. Then slowly withdraw the Crusade catheter while monitoring the position of the OTW lumen guidewire by cineangiography to conrm that it is still in place. When the exit port of its monorail lumen gets stuck on your left hand again, stop removing the catheter and repeat the above procedure. As is done during removal of monorail (rapid exchange) devices, you continue to apply pressure on the OTW lumen and to hold the Crusade catheter.
8. When the tip of the Crusade catheter exits the Y- connector, you reduce the pressure on the OTW lumen to atmospheric pressure. Carefully hold and x the guidewires in both lumens near the O-ring and remove the Crusade catheter.
9. If a jailed guidewire remains after SB rewiring, it must be the third guidewire (not the two guidewires you are hold­ing). Remove the jailed guidewire as soon as possible after removing the Crusade catheter (after the wire is con­rmed to be jailed).
3. Extension wire technique
This technique involves xing the guidewire in the mono-
rail lumen, xing the guidewire extended by an extension wire or guidewire, and removing the Crusade catheter.
I do not use this technique because of the complexity of
the procedures required to simultaneously x the two guidewires.

ping balloon or a large-diameter (2.0–2.5mm) balloon

[Crusade catheter]
Using a Crusade catheter to facilitate SB wiring also contributes to preventing guidewire entanglement. A Crusade catheter allows delivery of a guidewire within its OTW lumen beyond the carina, which is associated with a much lower risk of guidewire entanglement compared with the bare wire method.
[Organizing guidewires]
Organizing the guidewires is also important to prevent entanglement. I recommend organizing your guidewires in the order of the directions in which they are viewed by uoroscopy. Two kissing balloons are difcult to withdraw individu­ally because the other may also be withdrawn spontaneously while removing one balloon. However, simultaneous with­drawal of two kissing balloons may disturb the organization of your guidewires. Therefore, I recommend reorganizing the two guidewires by separating their proximal parts while keeping the topological relationship at the O-ring. The same applies to wiring with the assistance of a Crusade. You should put the proximal parts of the two guidewires in the correct order while keeping their topological relationship at the O-ring, and cover them with wet gauze for stabilization.
[Countermeasures for entanglement]
1. Case 1
The rst device (e.g., balloon and stent) to be delivered into the MB may not go beyond the bifurcation due to guidewire entanglement. In this case, you should pull the device back to the hub and advance it again, which often allows you to successfully deliver the device into the MB.If this maneuver fails, retract the guidewire into the device and then push it gently forward while slightly pressing the device into the bifurcation. The device will often become disentangled, permitting it to advance beyond the bifurcation.
2. Case 2
A previously inated balloon may become entangled due to poor rewrapping of the balloon or twisting of the shaft. Therefore, I recommend selecting a balloon that rewraps well with a shaft that is strong near the exit port. A balloon that has become entangled should be exchanged for a new one, which can often be delivered smoothly
3. Blocking of the second device by the guidewire exit port of the rst device
The guidewire exit port of a device that has already been advanced into the guiding catheter may block advancement of a second device. In such a situation, you should pull the latter device back to the hub and then advance it again. This maneuver often allows the device to be delivered successfully. If it fails, you should withdraw both devices and then readvance them simultaneously.

CAG guidance (a) using a projection that deviates considerably from that perpendicular to the plane of the MB and SB (b or d) will only allow successful wiring of the MB or SB by chance, since it is impossible to assess whether the wire has come into contact with the carina. Conversely, CAG in a projection perpendicular to the plane of the two branches (c or e) facilitates SB wiring and assessment of whether the guidewire has contacted the carina

Examples of Wrong Projections
The most frequently chosen wrong projection is use of the RAO cranial projection for separating the Dg from the proxi­mal LAD.The RAO is relatively parallel to the plane of the proximal LAD and the Dg, so the two vessels overlap in most parts when viewed in this projection. The cranial pro­jection is good for separating the Dg from the mid-distal LAD, but not for visualizing the LAD-Dg bifurcation. According to standard practice, the LAO cranial projection is optimal for separating the Dg from the proximal LAD.Figure2.36 shows typical CAGs explaining this point. It is easy to understand that the longest view of the LAD is obtained in the cranial projection as this artery runs leftward and anteriorly. The Dg is located posterior to the LAD and
left of the LAD in the AP cranial view. The LAO projection is excellent for visualizing a bifurcation with leftward and posterior SB angulation. As the longitudinal axis of the LAD is oriented anteriorly, marked cranial angulation is better. The LAO cranial projection separates the Dg from the LAD very well (Fig.2.36c). If the LAD takes extremely anterior course, even greater cranial angulation may be needed to achieve good separation from the LCX, but such a projection imposes stricter radiographic conditions. Some intervention­alists prefer the RAO cranial projection, probably because this projection had better radiographic conditions and pro­vides clearer images than the LAO view. However, the RAO cranial projection is not optimal for visualizing the LAD-Dg bifurcation.

Typical Projections Allowing En Face Observation of Various Coronary Bifurcations (Table2.1)
The projections presented in the table often allow the SB to be separated from the MB at individual bifurcations and should be tried rst. If the recommended projection is not appropriate, you will generally need to adjust the uoros­copy angle to optimize it.
The bifurcation of LMT to form the LAD and the LCX is
a special case. At other coronary bifurcations, the two branches run in the same plane on the surface of the ventricle for some distance, so it is relatively easy to identify the plane
dicular to that plane. However, both the LAD and the LCX immediately change directions at the LMT bifurcation, with the former running to the left, anteriorly and caudally, while the latter runs posteriorly. The LM bifurcation offers a point of deection for both branches. In other words, there is no plane which encompasses even the proximal segments of both the LAD and LCX.It is hard to nd the optimal projec­tion for visualizing the LMT bifurcation by reviewing vari­ous images of the proximal LAD/LCX, so you have to estimate the take-off angle of each branch. This is sometimes difcult and requires many ne adjustments.

2.3 Optimal Stenting Techniques forBifurcation Lesions
Reliable Method of Finding the Optimal Projection for En Face Observation of a Specic Bifurcation
The optimal projection may be determined in an empirical manner, as described above. However, if you have no idea which projection will allow en face observation of the bifur­cation, the following procedure can be followed to reliably identify the correct projection. First, you should nd the pro­jection that provides the longest view (red line) of the bifur­cation (deep green) and the longitudinal axis of the MB (green) (Fig.2.38). Then you should rotate the detector at 90 degrees around the line projected on the surface of the uo­roscope. The longest view of the longitudinal axis of the MB will be provided by the new projection, since the MB is being viewed in a projection orthogonal to the plane of the vessel (Fig.2.39). Subsequently, you should rotate the detec­tor around the axis to nd a plane in which the branching angle is maximal, i.e., a projection in which the bifurcation can be viewed en face (Fig.2.40). The optimal projection is not always required for simple wiring before stenting. However, if the optimal projection is found in this way after wiring the two branches, coronary angiography will not be required. If SB wiring is difcult, you may leave the guide­wire in the MB and inject small test doses of contrast medium while seeking the optimal projection that displays the maxi­mal branching angle.
