Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

395
Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with a...

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Severe coronary calcification poses challenges for percutaneous coronary intervention.
  • Rotational atherectomy (RA) and intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) are used to treat complex coronary lesions.
  • The combination of RA and IVL, termed 'RotaTripsy,' is emerging for severe calcified lesions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current evidence on the RotaTripsy technique for severe calcified coronary lesions.
  • To assess the safety, feasibility, and effectiveness of RotaTripsy.
  • To emphasize patient and lesion selection for optimal outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library up to July 2024.
  • Inclusion of studies combining RA and IVL for coronary artery calcification.
  • Scoping review methodology using SPSS and Excel for data analysis.

Main Results:

  • 25 studies with 259 patients were analyzed.
  • The RotaTripsy procedure had a high success rate of 97.3% (252 patients).
  • A low mortality rate of 2.7% (7 patients) was observed during follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • RotaTripsy is an effective therapeutic option for severe calcified coronary artery lesions.
  • The technique shows unique potential for lesions resistant to conventional dilation.
  • Clinical findings support the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of RotaTripsy.
