Complex coronary lesions and rotational atherectomy: one hospital’s experience

Abstract: Abstract:Objective: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of rotational atherectomy followed by drug eluting stent (DES) implantation in patients with complex coronary lesions. Methods: From August 2006 to August 2012, 253 consecutive patients with 289 lesions and who underwent rotational atherectomy in our center were enrolled in this study. Results: The overall procedure success rate was 98% with the cost of two (0.8%) coronary perforations, three (1.2%) dissections, five (2.0%) slow flows or no flows, th… Show more

“…As a result, the total combined MACE rate over a long follow up period is anticipated to be high. Most of the published studies have shown a MACE rate ranging between 11.3 and 20.7%, with the exception of the ROTAXUS study which showed a 24.2% MACE rate in patients with RA and DES implantation . Our multicentre data represent one of the largest observational studies with one of the longest follow up periods, and show a 17.8% MACE rate which is comparable to other studies with smaller sample size and shorter follow up.…”

“…The main acute adverse outcomes were dissections and perforations, while MI and restenosis predominated in the late stages. 9 Encouraging results were presented in PREPARE-CALC, in which 200 patients were randomized to treatment with either RA or modified balloons. A higher success rate was achieved with RA (98% versus 81%, respectively), mainly driven by balloon crossing failure, with no significant difference in late luminal loss at 9 months.…”

“…28 The choice of burr size depending on burr/artery ratio of 0.5 to 0.7 mm has been evaluated in many studies. 29,30 It was associated with both short-and long-term favorable outcomes. We reported a low incidence of complications (both dissection and perforation occurred in 6.3% of the patients) and a high rate of angiographic success (overall percentage in both groups is 92.3%), as we avoided oversizing of the burr and used a maximum of 2 burrs/lesion.…”
