Does DES implantation following rotational atherectomy reduce MACE?
Rotational atherectomy followed by DES implantation is safe and associated with reduced MACE during midterm follow-up.
RA appears to be safe and effective with acceptable in-hospital and follow-up MACE considering the severity of patient and lesion characteristics. DES implantation following RA was associated with a reduction in MACE during the follow-up period.
Kawamoto et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
