Why the study?
Does percutaneous coronary intervention using rotational atherectomy provide procedural success and acceptable clinical outcomes in patients with severely calcified unprotected left main lesions?
Does percutaneous coronary intervention using rotational atherectomy provide procedural success and acceptable clinical outcomes in patients with severely calcified unprotected left main lesions?
PCI using rotational atherectomy for calcified unprotected left main lesions yields high procedural success, but hemodialysis patients have a high rate of target lesion revascularization despite optimal stent expansion.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
High procedural success supports rotational atherectomy for calcified unprotected left main PCI; hemodialysis association with higher TLR leaves open durability questions.
Yabushita et al. (2014) studied this question.
