Preference over Conventional Devices Moreover, insufficient luminal expansion during treatment of fibrocalcific lesion through conventional devices and resistance to the dilatation has led manufacturers to adopt scoring technology for production of balloon catheters.

OCT also allows tissue characterization by identifying three types of plaques, such as fibrous, fibrocalcific, and lipid; therefore, OCT is regarded as a suitable imaging modality for quantifying the thickness of thin cap fibroatheroma and estimating macrophage distribution (vulnerable plaques) [6466].

Commissural and paracommissural fibrocalcific dystrophy represent sites of greater resistance that hinder commissural splitting, leading to delivery of the balloon pressure to the relatively thin AML and causing it to tear because the posterior mitral leaflet is fibrosed and rolled up most of the time8.

Fibrous plaques were characterized by homogeneous, signal-rich regions; fibrocalcific plaques by signal-poor regions with sharp borders; and lipid-rich plaques by signal-poor regions with diffuse borders (Figure 2, A through F).
