Key result
Female sex linked to ~81% higher NACE risk in rotational atherectomy, driven by procedural complications.
Why the study?
Sex differences in procedural net adverse clinical events and long-term outcomes following rotational atherectomy were not well characterized.
Cohort (n=765)
No
Odds Ratio: 1.81 (95% CI 1.04–3.13)
Absolute Event Rate: 15.1% vs 9%
p-value: p=0.037
Procedural caution in women may be prudent; leaves open whether sex-specific techniques improve rotational atherectomy safety.

Ford et al. (2019) conducted a cohort in Calcific coronary artery disease requiring rotational atherectomy (n=765). Female sex vs. Male sex was evaluated on Procedural net adverse clinical events (NACE) within 24 hours of PCI (adjusted OR 1.81, 95% CI 1.04-3.13, p=0.037). Compared to males, women undergoing rotational atherectomy had a significantly higher risk of procedural net adverse clinical events (adjusted OR 1.81), primarily driven by procedural complications.
