Severe coronary artery calcification is associated with suboptimal stent expansion, higher complication rates and worse clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention. Several devices and techniques have been developed to facilitate the treatment of calcified coronary lesions. This manuscript outlines best practices and tips on the use of the super high pressure OPN noncompliant balloon (OPN; Swiss Interventional Systems [SIS] Medical AG, Winterthur, Switzerland).
