Rotational atherectomy (RA) use for heavily calcified coronary lesions was low (1.4%) but associated with a 17.8% major adverse cardiac event (MACE) rate. Factors like peripheral vascular disease and diabetes increased MACE risk.

Area of Science:

  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Cardiovascular Research
  • Medical Device Technology

Background:

  • Heavily calcified coronary lesions pose challenges for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
  • Rotational atherectomy (RA) is a tool used to facilitate PCI in such complex cases.
  • Understanding the outcomes and predictors of MACE associated with RA is crucial for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utilization patterns and clinical outcomes of rotational atherectomy (RA) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
  • To identify factors independently associated with major adverse cardiac events (MACE) following RA.
  • To explore the relationship between RA use, lesion complexity, and procedural success in a real-world setting.

  • Retrospective analysis of RA use in three high-volume PCI centers from 2005 to 2013.
  • Assessment of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) rates at a median follow-up of 22 months.
  • Multivariable analysis to identify independent predictors of MACE, including peripheral vascular disease (PVD), diabetes mellitus (DM), acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and SYNTAX score.

    • Main Results:

    • RA utilization was low at 1.4% among all PCIs performed.
    • The overall MACE rate was 17.8% at 22-month follow-up.
    • Independent predictors of MACE included PVD, DM, ACS, and a baseline SYNTAX score > 23.

    Conclusions:

    • Despite low utilization, RA is associated with significant MACE in complex calcified lesions.
    • Patient comorbidities and baseline disease severity (SYNTAX score) are key determinants of adverse outcomes.
    • Incomplete revascularization in high SYNTAX score patients may be a more significant driver of poor outcomes than procedural success with RA.
