This review summarizes contemporary evidence and the Japanese context for TPVI. International registries report high procedural success and favorable mid-term outcomes with both balloon-expandable and self-expanding platforms.

SAPIEN 3 THV is indicated for degenerated conduits or surgical bioprostheses in high-risk candidates, whereas Harmony TPV targets native, often dilated RV outflow tracts mainly after transannular patch repair.

TGs and fatty acids released by lipolytic action are major energy substrates in a normal heart. In TGCV, the defective intracellular lipolysis of long-chain TGs causes cellular steatosis and energy failure mainly in cardiomyocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells. One of the major characteristics is diffuse narrowing TG-deposited coronary atherosclerosis which is distinct from classic cholesterol-induced focal lesions. TGCV comprises primary and idiopathic subtypes with and without homozygous <em>PNPLA2</em> mutations, respectively. Genetic causes or backgrounds of idiopathic TGCV (I-TGCV) remain undetermined. We established the diagnostic criteria without requirement of genetic tests, including the reduced washout rate (&lt;10%) of iodine-123-β-methyl-<em>p</em>-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid in myocardial single-photon emission computed tomography, which reflects defective lipolysis, as an essential item. Serum TG level and body mass index are irrelevant to the diagnosis. As of October 2024, 15 primary TGCV (P-TGCV) and 976 I-TGCV cases were diagnosed across all Japanese prefectures. The cardiac symptoms of P-TGCV and I-TGCV occurred in patients aged in their 30s and 50s, respectively. The patients exhibited heart failure (HF), diffuse coronary artery disease including vasospastic angina, and ventricular arrhythmia. The prognosis was very severe in patients with P-TGCV manifesting HF with reduced ejection fraction unless receiving cardiac transplantation.

Tricaprin/trisdecanoin, a medium-chain TG that facilitates myocardial lipolysis, is being developed as a first-in-class orphan drug for TGCV. TGCV is a novel class of adult-onset cardiovascular disease caused by the defective lipolysis of long-chain TGs.

The management of these complex lesions continues to require careful procedural planning. Intravascular imaging (IVI), including intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography/optical frequency domain imaging, provides detailed insights into coronary calcium morphology. IVI has become an important tool in contemporary PCI. IVI allows comprehensive evaluation of calcium characteristics such as arc, longitudinal length, thickness, depth, and surface morphology. These findings are closely related to lesion compliance and subsequent stent expansion. The information from IVI facilitates appropriate selection and optimization of calcium modification strategies, including conventional balloons, atherectomy devices, and intravascular lithotripsy. Furthermore, IVI enables assessment of procedural effectiveness by confirming plaque modification, calcium fracture, and stent expansion, while also identifying imaging features associated with an increased risk of vessel injury, dissection, or slow flow. However, each imaging modality has inherent limitations, and careful interpretation of imaging findings is essential, particularly in severely calcified lesions. In this review, we summarize current concepts of IVI-based assessment of coronary calcification and discuss practical considerations for device selection and lesion preparation in severely calcified lesions. Integrating intravascular imaging into PCI may contribute to more tailored treatment strategies and improved clinical outcomes in patients with severely calcified coronary artery disease.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for severely calcified coronary lesions remains challenging, as extensive calcification frequently hampers adequate lesion preparation and optimal stent expansion, thereby increasing the risk of procedural complications and adverse clinical outcomes.
