    It was reported that patient complications occurred.A loading dose of 324 mg of aspirin and 600 mg of clopidogrel were given prior to the procedure. The 8.00 mm x 2.50 mm target lesion was located in the first diagonal branch of the left anterior descending artery (LAD). The target lesion was pre-treated with a 2.50 mm x 15 mm non-compliant balloon angioplasty catheter resulting in 10% residual stenosis and TIMI flow 3. The target lesion was then successfully treated with a 2.50 mm x 15 mm Agent DCB resulting in 0% residual stenosis and TIMI flow of 3. An additional 28 mm x 3.00 mm target lesion located from the proximal to mid LAD was pre-treated with a 2.50 x 15 mm semi-compliant balloon angioplasty catheter resulting in 30% residual stenosis and TIMI flow of 3. The lesion was further treated with a 3.00 mm x 33 mm non-Boston Scientific drug eluting stent resulting in 0% residual stenosis and TIMI flow of 3. A non-target lesion located in the mid right coronary artery (RCA) was successfully treated prior to the treatment of target lesion using a 4.00 mm x 28 mm drug eluting stent and a 4.00 mm x 15 mm balloon angioplasty catheter.
