ABSTRACT
We report a rare case of multiple nodular calcium in the left anterior descending coronary artery in an octogenarian presenting with unstable angina. Dilatation with the noncompliant and scoring balloon could not yield the nodular calcium and it was only the cutting balloon that could yield the nodular calcium and successful coronary angioplasty could be accomplished with good angiographic results with distal Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (III) flow. This case demonstrates the unique role of cutting balloons in the angioplasty of coronary lesions with multiple nodular calcium.
