Abstract
BACKGROUND Research on the combined use of ear acupoint embedding beans and warming meridians with cold-dispersing formulas for alleviating resting pain in patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) remains limited. AIM To explore the therapeutic efficacy of auricular point embedding beans combined with Wenjing Sanhan prescription in alleviating resting pain in patients with lower-limb ASO. METHODS A total of 100 patients with ASO experiencing resting pain who were treated at our hospital from January 2022 to January 2023 were enrolled. They were randomly allocated into two groups using a double-blind approach. The control group was treated using a warming meridian with a cold-dispersing formula, while the study group received additional treatment with ear acupoint embedding beans. The clinical efficacy, ankle-brachial artery pressure ratio, hemorheological indicators, and traditional Chinese medicine symptom scores were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The clinical efficacy rate in the study group was significantly higher (94.00%) than that in the control group (72.00%, P < 0.05). Moreover, the ankle-brachial artery pressure ratio was significantly higher in the study group after treatment (P < 0.05). Hemorheological parameters, including whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity (1.83 ± 0.11) mPa/s, fibrinogen levels (3.30 ± 0.21) g/L, platelet adhesion rate (49.87% ± 10.51%), and erythrocyte aggregation index (1.79 ± 0) were improved in the study group compared to the control group. In addition, the scores for decreased skin temperature (1.41 ± 0.26), intermittent claudication (1.30 ± 0.20), and resting pain (1.23 ± 0.31) were significantly lower in the study group than those in the control group (all P < 0.05). The level of oxidative stress in the study group also exhibited significant improvement (P < 0.05), and the levels of inflammatory factors were considerably lower than those in the control group. CONCLUSION The combination of ear point embedding beans and Wenjing Sanhan prescription demonstrates promising clinical efficacy in alleviating resting pain associated with ASO.

Abstract
Coronary artery calcification is a complex anatomical and histological pathology with different pathways that contribute to calcium deposit and calcification progression. As part of the atherosclerotic process, extensive calcifications are becoming more common and are associated with poorer PCI outcomes if not properly addressed. Since no drug has shown to be effective in changing this process once it is started, proper knowledge of the underlying pathogenesis and how to diagnose and manage it is essential in contemporary coronary intervention. Atherosclerosis is a pandemic disease, quickly spreading across the world and not limited anymore to the industrialized Western world. In this paper, we review the role of intracoronary imaging and the main technologies available and propose a simple and rational algorithm for the choice of a preferential first strategy in the treatment of severely calcified coronary atherosclerosis, followed by three emblematic cases on how we successively applied it.

Abstract
Rotational atherectomy is an effective procedure for heavily calcified lesions and those that cannot be crossed using conventional percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) devices. Here, we report a rare case of intracoronary burr entrapment in the coronary artery due to burr disconnection from the driveshaft. A 67-year-old man undergoing hemodialysis for nephrosclerosis presented with exertional chest discomfort. Coronary angiography revealed stenotic lesions in the right coronary artery, and PCI was performed using a Rotawire Floppy. During the procedure, the disconnected burr was successfully removed without surgery using the child-in-mother technique with a guide extension catheter. Notably, the patient remained hemodynamically stable throughout the procedure and his recovery was uncomplicated. He was discharged on the second postprocedural day. At the 6-month follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic with no evidence of myocardial ischemia. This report informs clinicians of the possibility of burr disconnection and the non-surgical intervention used for its removal.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) have been shown to improve the clinical outcomes of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) in selected subsets of patients. AIM The aim was to investigate whether the use of OCT or IVUS during a PCI with rotational atherectomy (RA-PCI) will increase the odds for successful revascularization, defined as thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) 3 flow. METHODS Data were obtained from the national registry of PCIs (ORPKI) maintained by the Association of Cardiovascular Interventions (AISN) of the Polish Cardiac Society. The dataset includes PCIs spanning from January 2014 to December 2021. RESULTS A total of 6522 RA-PCIs were analyzed, out of which 708 (10.9%) were guided by IVUS and 86 (1.3%) by OCT. The postprocedural TIMI 3 flow was achieved significantly more often in RA-PCIs guided by intravascular imaging (98.7% vs. 96.6%, p < 0.0001). Multivariable analysis revealed that using IVUS and OCT was independently associated with an increased chance of achieving postprocedural TIMI 3 flow by 67% (odds ratio (OR), 1.67; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.40-1.99; p < 0.0001) and 66% (OR, 1.66; 95% CI: 1.09-2.54; p = 0.02), respectively. Other factors associated with successful revascularization were as follows: previous PCI (OR, 1.72; p < 0.0001) and coronary artery bypass grafting (OR, 1.09; p = 0.002), hypertension (OR, 1.14; p < 0.0001), fractional flow reserve assessment during angiogram (OR, 1.47; p < 0.0001), bifurcation PCI (OR, 3.06; p < 0.0001), and stent implantation (OR, 19.6, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS PCIs with rotational atherectomy guided by intravascular imaging modalities (IVUS or OCT) are associated with a higher procedural success rate compared to angio-guided procedures.

Abstract
Rotational atherectomy (RA) is used to address complex calcified coronary lesions but data regarding the association between gender and outcomes of patients who underwent RA remain uncertain. We aimed to investigate the short- and long-term outcomes of patients who underwent RA based on gender. A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases from its inception until August 2023 for relevant studies. Endpoints were pooled using the DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model as odd ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). A total of 7 studies with 8,490 patients (2,565 women and 5,925 men) who underwent RA were included in the study. In terms of periprocedural outcomes, women had a higher risk of in-hospital mortality (OR 2.00, 95% CI 1.08 to 3.68, p = 0.03), coronary dissection (OR 1.80, 95% CI 1.05 to 3.10, p = 0.03), coronary perforation (OR 1.96, 95% CI 1.19 to 3.23, p = 0.01), and stroke (OR 4.22, 95% CI 1.06 to 16.82, p = 0.04) than men. There were no significant differences between women and men in terms of major adverse cardiovascular events (OR 1.43, 95% CI 0.69 to 2.94, p = 0.33), myocardial infarction (OR 1.35, 95% CI 0.87 to 2.08, p = 0.18), bleeding (OR 1.71, 95% CI 0.88 to 3.30, p = 0.11), and cardiac tamponade (OR 2.30, 95% CI 0.45 to 11.68, p = 0.32). Over a follow-up period of 3 years, the results of meta-analysis showed that women had a higher risk of all-cause mortality (OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.19 to 1.77, p <0.001), long-term major adverse cardiovascular events (OR 1.38, 95% CI 1.10 to 1.74, p = 0.01), and long-term stroke (OR 3.41, 95% CI 1.63 to 7.17, p <0.001). The risk of long-term myocardial infarction was found to be similar between both genders (OR 1.45, 95% CI 0.95 to 2.22, p = 0.09). In conclusion, female gender is associated with adverse periprocedural and long-term outcome after RA. Women consistently demonstrated higher risk of in-hospital mortality, coronary dissection, coronary perforation, and stroke in the periprocedural period. Long-term follow-up further highlighted a heightened risk for women in terms of all-cause mortality and stroke.

Abstract
Histopathological examination has revealed that stents on severely calcified plaques were associated with delayed vascular healing. Although atherectomy devices can increase the number of malapposed struts, tissue responses to implanted drug eluting stents in atherectomy patients remain largely unknown. This retrospective observational study included 30 patients who underwent atherectomy and everolimus-eluting stent (EES) deployment for severely calcified coronary lesions (biodegradable polymer EES (BP-EES), n = 15; durable polymer EES (DP-EES), n = 15). Optical coherence tomography was carried out at baseline and follow-up, and struts with acute stent malapposition (ASM) were categorized as struts on modified calcium (mod-Ca), non-modified calcium (non-mod-Ca), or non-calcium (non-Ca). Adequate vascular healing, defined as ASM resolution with neointimal coverage, was compared between the BP-EES and DP-EES groups. Multivariate linear regression analysis using a generalized estimated equation revealed that BP-EES use was associated with significantly better adequate vascular healing compared with DP-EES (odds ratio [OR]: 3.691, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.175-11.592, P = 0.025). adequate vascular healing was associated with the underlying plaque morphology (mod-Ca vs non-mod-Ca: OR 2.833, 95% CI 1.491-5.384, P = 0.001; non-Ca vs non-mod-Ca: OR 1.248, 95% CI 0.440-3.543, P = 0.677). This study demonstrates that drug-eluting stent selection and calcium modification are possible factors affecting vascular healing of malapposed struts in severely calcified lesions.

Abstract
Rotational atherectomy (RA) is technically more difficult in a diffuse calcified lesion than in a focal calcified lesion. We hypothesized that taking a halftime can be another option for RA to the diffuse calcified lesions. Halftime was defined as at least one long break during RA, in which an operator pulled out the Rotablator system from the guide catheter before crossing the lesion. This study aimed to compare the complications between RA with and without halftime. We included 177 diffuse long severely calcified lesions (lesion lengths ≥ 30 mm) that required RA, and divided those lesions into a halftime group (n = 29) and a no-halftime group (n = 148). The primary outcome was periprocedural myocardial infarction (MI). The reference diameter was smaller in the halftime group than in the no-halftime group [1.82 (1.70-2.06) mm versus 2.17 (1.89-2.59) mm, p = 0.002]. The total run time was longer in the halftime group than in the non-halftime group [133.0 (102.0-223.0) seconds versus 71.5 (42.0-108.0) seconds, p < 0.001]. Although creatinine kinase (CK) and CK-myocardial band (MB) was significantly higher in the halftime group than in the no-halftime group [CK: 156 (97-308) U/L versus 99 (59-216) U/L, p = 0.021; CK-MB: 15 (8-24) U/L versus 5 (3-15) U/L, p < 0.001], periprocedural MI was not observed in the halftime group. In conclusion, periprocedural MI was not observed in RA with halftime. This preliminary study suggests that halftime RA may be a safe option for diffuse severely calcified lesions.

Coronary intravascular lithotripsy in contemporary practice: challenges and opportunities in coronary intervention. Ther Adv Cardiovasc Dis 2024; 18:17539447241263444. [PMID: 39049591 PMCID: PMC11273719 DOI: 10.1177/17539447241263444] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of calcified coronary arteries is associated with poor outcomes. Poorly modified calcified lesion hinders the stent delivery, disrupts drug-carrying polymer, impairs drug elution kinetics and results in under-expanded stent (UES). UES is the most common cause of acute stent thrombosis and in-stent restenosis after PCI of calcified lesions. Angiography has poor sensitivity for recognition and quantification of coronary calcium, thereby mandating the use of intravascular imaging. Intravascular imaging, like intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography, has the potential to accurately identify and quantify the coronary calcium and to guide appropriate modification device before stent placement. Available options for the modification of calcified plaque include modified balloons (cutting balloon, scoring balloon and high-pressure balloon), atherectomy devices (rotational atherectomy and orbital atherectomy) and laser atherectomy. Coronary intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is the newest addition to the tool box for calcified plaque modification. It produces the acoustic shockwaves, which interact with the coronary calcium to cause multiplanar fractures. These calcium fractures increase the vessel compliance and result in desirable minimum stent areas. Coronary IVL has established its safety and efficacy for calcified lesion in series of Disrupt CAD trials. Its advantages over atherectomy devices include ease of use on workhorse wire, ability to modify deep calcium, no debris embolization causing slow flow or no-flow and minimal thermal injury. It is showing promising results in modification of difficult calcified lesion subsets such as calcified nodule, calcified left main bifurcation lesions and chronic total occlusion. In this review, authors will summarize the mechanism of action for IVL, its role in contemporary practice, evidence available for its use, its advantages over atherectomy devices and its imaging insight in different calcified lesion scenarios.

Impact of atherothrombotic risk stratification in patients with heavily calcified lesions following rotational atherectomy. J Cardiol 2024; 83:37-43. [PMID: 37524300 DOI: 10.1016/j.jjcc.2023.07.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2023] [Revised: 07/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with rotational atherectomy (RA) are at high risk of adverse clinical outcomes, and there are few clinical risk stratification tools for these patients. METHODS We conducted a study with 196 patients who underwent PCI with RA out of 7391 patients who underwent PCI using a multicenter, prospective cohort registry. Patients were divided into three groups according to the tertiles of the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) Risk Score for Secondary Prevention (TRS 2°P): 65 patients in the T1 group (TRS 2°P < 3), 66 patients in the T2 group (TRS 2°P = 3), and 65 patients in the T3 group (TRS 2°P > 3). The primary endpoint was the cumulative 2-year incidence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), defined as a composite of cardiac death, acute coronary syndrome, and ischemic stroke. RESULTS Cumulative 2-year MACCE occurred in 41 patients (24 %) during the follow-up period. The cumulative incidence of MACCE was significantly higher in the T3 group than in the T1 group (log-rank test, p = 0.02). Multivariate Cox analyses revealed that the T3 group was associated with an increased risk of MACCE compared to that of the T1 group (adjusted hazard ratio, 2.66; 95 % confidence interval, 1.04-6.77; p = 0.04). The addition of TRS 2°P to conventional risk factors, including male sex, number of diseased vessels, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, improved the net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) (NRI 0.39, p = 0.027; IDI 0.072, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Atherothrombotic risk stratification using TRS 2°P was useful in identifying high-risk patients with heavily calcified lesions following RA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rotational atherectomy (RA) may cause bradyarrhythmias and transitory atrioventricular block when performed in the right coronary artery (RCA) or a dominant circumflex (CX) coronary artery. However, there are no studies of a solution that can prevent coronary flow deterioration and bradycardia complications that may occur during RA. We aimed to create an alternative rota-flush solution to minimize the risk of bradycardia and complete atrioventricular block (AVB) that can occur during RA. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study comprised 60 patients who were randomly divided into two groups: 30 received rotaphylline (= 240 mg aminophylline, 10,000 U unfractionated heparin, and 2000 mcg nitroglycerin to 1000 mL saline), and 30 received the traditional rota-flush (= 10,000 U unfractionated heparin, 2000 mcg nitroglycerin, and 1000 mL saline). The incidence of bradycardia or high-grade AVB (HAVB) during RA, coronary slow-flow phenomenon or no-reflow phenomenon, and coronary spasm were the primary endpoints of the study. Procedure success and RA-related procedural complications were secondary endpoints. RESULTS The use of rotaphylline was an independent predictor of bradycardia and HAVB after accounting for all other factors (OR: 0.47, 95% CI: 0.24-0.79, p < 0.001). Lesion length (OR: 2.17, 95% CI: 1.24-3.04, p < 0.001), burr-to-artery ratio (OR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.39-1.68, p < 0.001), and total run duration (OR: 0.79, 95% CI: 0.35-1.43, p < 0.001) were additional independent predictors. CONCLUSION Bradycardia and the development of HAVB may be avoided by rotaphylline intracoronary infusion during RA applied to the RCA and dominant CX lesions. Multicenter studies including sizable patient populations should be conducted to validate the present findings.

Abstract
The region behind the coronary calcium could not be visualized by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) because of acoustic shadow. However, some pathological studies have shown that IVUS delineated the vessel border behind thin coronary calcium sheets. This study aimed to reveal whether recent IVUS can visualize the region behind thin coronary calcium sheets. Using 534 cross-sectional optical frequency domain images (OFDI), including severe calcified coronary lesions, calcium sheet thickness was measured by every 1°. Accordingly, the visibility of the vessel border behind the coronary calcium sheet was evaluated using 60-MHz IVUS images, which were longitudinally linked with OFDI ones. After carefully coordinating with the axial position, the association between the IVUS-derived permeability of the coronary calcium sheet and calcium thickness was evaluated. The maximum and mean calcium thickness by OFDI was 0.88 ± 0.39 and 0.62 ± 0.30 mm, respectively. By 60-MHz IVUS, 12.1% of the coronary calcium sheets had permeable segments. Comparing between OFDI and IVUS images, 48.6% of the coronary calcium sheets with maximum thickness ≤ 0.3 mm were sometimes permeable by 60-MHz IVUS, whereas most > 0.5 mm thick calcium sheets were impermeable. In the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the best cutoff values for the maximum and mean thickness of permeable calcium were 0.48 and 0.31 mm, respectively. Thus, 60-MHz IVUS can occasionally visualize the region behind a thin coronary calcium sheet. When using 60-MHz IVUS, this finding may be a predictive marker of calcium sheet with a thickness of < 0.5 mm.

The Incidence of Complication in the Perioperative Period of Rotational Atherectomy in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Retrospective Study of Low Speed Versus High Speed. Am J Cardiol 2023; 207:121-129.

Abstract
The safety and efficacy of rotational atherectomy (RA) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) treated with different rotational speeds remain unclear. This was an observational retrospective registry study. Between February 2017 and January 2022, a total of 283 patients with ACS were treated with RA. The patients were divided into 2 groups: the low-speed group (130,000 to 150,000 rotations/min [rpm],182 cases) and the high-speed group (160,000 to 220,000 rpm, 101 cases) according to the maximum RA speed. The outcomes analyzed were procedural complications; incidence of heart failure, stent thrombosis, and cardiac death during hospitalization; and 30-day major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Patients in the low-speed RA group had a higher incidence of vasospasm during RA (15.4% vs 6.9%, p = 0.040), whereas the incidence of slow blood flow was higher in the high-speed RA group (16.5% vs 27.7%, p = 0.031). There was no significant difference in other complications or in 30-day major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events between the 2 groups. Moreover, logistic regression analysis identified rotational speed (160,000 to 220,000 rpm) as a predictor of slow flow during RA (odds ratio 1.900, 95% confidence interval 1.006 to 3.588, p = 0.048). For every 10,000-rpm increase in rotational speed, the risk of slow flow increased by 27% (odds ratio 1.273, 95% confidence interval 1.047 to 1.547, p = 0.015). In conclusion, patients with ACS treated with a lower RA speed (130,000 to 150,000 rpm) had a higher risk of vasospasm, whereas those treated with higher speeds (160,000 to 220,000 rpm) had a higher incidence of slow flow. High rotational speed (160,000 to 220,000 rpm) is an independent risk factor for slow flow during RA in patients with ACS.

Abstract
Elevation of the ST segment after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using rotational atherectomy (RA) for severely calcified lesions often persists after disappearance of the slow-flow phenomenon on angiography. We investigated clinical factors relevant to prolonged ST-segment elevation following RA among 152 patients with stable angina undergoing elective PCI. PCI procedures were divided into two strategies, RA without (primary RA strategy) or with (secondary RA strategy) balloon dilatation before RA. Incidence of prolonged ST-segment elevation after disappearance of slow-flow phenomenon was higher in the 56 patients with primary RA strategy (13%) than in the 96 patients with secondary RA strategy (3%, p = 0.039). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (odds ratio [OR] 0.95, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.93-0.99; p = 0.013), levels of triglycerides (OR 0.97, 95%CI 0.94-0.99; p = 0.040), and secondary RA strategy (OR 0.23, 95% CI 0.05-0.85; p = 0.028) were inversely associated with occurrence of prolonged ST-segment elevation following ablation. However, hemodialysis, diabetes mellitus, left-ventricular ejection fraction, lesion length ≥ 20 mm, and burr size did not show significant associations. Multivariate logistic regression analysis modeling revealed that secondary RA strategy was significantly associated with the occurrence of prolonged ST-segment elevation (Model 1: OR 0.24, 95% CI 0.05-0.95, p = 0.042; Model 2: OR 0.17, 95% CI 0.03-0.68, p = 0.018; Model 3: OR 0.21, 95% CI 0.03-0.87, p = 0.041) even after adjusting for levels of LDL-C and triglycerides. Secondary RA strategy may be useful to reduce the occurrence of prolonged ST-segment elevation following RA.

Abstract
Serious complications including vessel perforation may occur during rotational atherectomy (RA) to left circumflex (LCX) ostial lesions. In fact, if perforation occurs around LCX ostium, bailout procedures including deployment of covered stents may cause fatal ischemia in the territory of left anterior descending artery, which results in broad anterior acute myocardial infarction and subsequent death. In this review article, we described tips and tricks for RA to LCX ostial lesions. First, we should cautiously decide the indication for RA to LCX ostial lesions, because there are several reasons to avoid RA to LCX ostial lesions. Before procedures, we should estimate the difficulty of RA to LCX ostial lesions, which is mainly determined by the combination of the bifurcation angle and the severity of stenosis. Thus, the combination of the large bifurcation angle and the tight stenosis makes RA to LCX ostial lesions most difficult. Appropriate position of guide catheter and RotaWire is a key to successful RA to LCX ostial lesions. Differential cutting is an essential concept for RA to LCX ostial lesions. However, since there is no guarantee that differential cutting always works, small burr (≤ 1.5 mm) would be a safe choice as initial burr for RA to LCX ostial lesions.

Cardiovasc Interv Ther 2023; 38:375-380. [PMID: 37542662 DOI: 10.1007/s12928-023-00950-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/07/2023]
Abstract
The concept of lifetime management has not been discussed in the field of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), because the durability of drug-eluting stent (DES) is considered to be long enough for most patients. Furthermore, even if in-stent restenosis occurs, the treatment for in-stent restenosis is simple in most cases. On the other hand, the long-term clinical outcomes after DES implantation are worse in severely calcified coronary lesions than in non-calcified lesions. Moreover, the treatment for in-stent calcified restenosis or restenosis due to stent underexpansion is not simple. The concept of lifetime management of severely calcified lesions may be necessary like that of aortic stenosis. Recently, several algorithms have been published in PCI to severely calcified lesions, partly because of the emergence of IVL. These algorithms focus on the selection of cracking and debulking devices for the preparation of stenting. However, the optimal stent expansion does not guarantee the long-term patency, when the target lesion includes calcified nodules. Stent restenosis due to calcified nodules is difficult to manage. In this review article, we propose the algorithm for severely calcified lesions focused on the shape of calcification. We do not need to hesitate stenting when multiple cracks on circumferential calcification are observed by intravascular imaging devices. However, DCB may be an option as final device in some situations, when lifetime management of severely calcified lesions is considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are several retrospective studies comparing rotational atherectomy (RA) and orbital atherectomy (OA), but all percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) in those studies were not performed under intracoronary imaging guidance. OBJECTIVES This study sought to compare the efficacy and safety of optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided PCI with RA vs OA. METHODS The DIRO (To directly compare RA and OA for calcified lesions, a prospective randomized trial) trial was conducted. We enrolled patients with de novo calcified lesions (arc >180°) assessed by OCT or angiographically moderate or severe calcifications if the OCT catheter could not cross the lesion before any intervention. Eligible patients were randomly 1:1 allocated to lesion preparation with RA vs OA. Stent expansion was defined as the minimum stent area divided by the distal reference area multiplied by 100. Tissue modification was assessed using preatherectomy and postatherectomy OCT images. Procedural outcomes including periprocedural myocardial infarctions were evaluated. Furthermore, clinical events and vascular healing evaluated by OCT at 8 months postprocedure were assessed. RESULTS The stent expansion was significantly greater in the RA group vs the OA group (99.5% vs 90.6%; P = 0.02). The maximum atherectomy area was significantly larger in the RA group than in the OA group (1.34 [IQR: 1.02-1.89] mm2 vs 0.83 [IQR: 0.59-1.11] mm2; P = 0.004). The procedural outcomes and clinical events at 8 months did not differ between the groups. The vascular healing was sufficient in both groups. CONCLUSIONS The prospective randomized DIRO trial revealed that RA could produce a more favorable tissue modification, which may lead to a larger stent expansion than OA in heavily calcified lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary calcifications represent a challenging subset for the interventional cardiologist performing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and are well-established risk factors for adverse outcomes. Adequate plaque modification prior to stent implantation is critical to achieve an optimal outcome following PCI. Recently, a novel orbital atherectomy device has been introduced into clinical practice to modify calcified plaques. We evaluated the mid-term safety and efficacy of OA in a high-risk "all-comers" population. METHODS We evaluated 96 consecutive patients with severely calcified coronary lesions who underwent PCI facilitated by the orbital atherectomy device. RESULTS In-hospital MACCE was 5.2% without target lesion revascularization. At 6-month follow-up, the MACCE rate was 10.4% with a concomitant TLR rate of 1%. CONCLUSIONS Our mid-term data showed good safety and efficacy of orbital atherectomy as a plaque-modifying tool in an all-comers cohort with severely calcified coronary lesions.

Comparison of Outcomes of Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention between Complex and High-Risk Intervention in Indicated Patients (CHIP) versus Non-CHIP. J Atheroscler Thromb 2023; 30:1229-1241. [PMID: 36529503 PMCID: PMC10499455 DOI: 10.5551/jat.63956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2022] [Accepted: 10/31/2022] [Indexed: 09/05/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS Complex and high-risk intervention in indicated patients (CHIP) is an emerging concept in the contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). CHIP is known to consist three factors, namely, (1) patient factors, (2) complicated heart disease, and (3) complex PCI. However, it remains unclear whether additional CHIP factors further increase the incidence of complications in complex PCI. Thus, in this study, we aim to compare the incidence of complications among definite CHIP, possible CHIP, and non-CHIP in terms of complex PCI and to further investigate the association between CHIP and complications. METHODS The primary aim of this study was to determine the major complications in PCI. We included 989 PCI lesions and divided those into definite CHIP (n=140), possible CHIP (n=397), and the non-CHIP groups (n=452). RESULTS The incidence of major complications was noted to be the highest in the definite CHIP, followed by the possible CHIP, and lowest in the non-CHIP (p=0.001). The multivariate logistic regression analysis using a generalized estimating equation revealed definite CHIP (versus non-CHIP: odds ratio (OR) 2.099, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.062-4.150, p=0.033) was significantly associated with major complications after controlling for confounding factors. Another multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed immunosuppressive drugs (OR 3.040, 95% CI 1.251-7.386, p=0.014), unstable hemodynamics (OR 5.753, 95% CI 1.217-27.201, p=0.027), and frailty (OR 2.039, 95% CI 1.108-3.751, p=0.022) were significantly associated with major complications among CHIP factors. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of major complications in complex PCI was determined to be the highest in the definite CHIP, followed by the possible CHIP and lowest in the non-CHIP. Thus, more attention should be given to the three components of CHIP to prevent major complications in complex PCI.

Abstract
According to the latest coronary interventional guidelines, a drug-eluting stent is the recommended reperfusion therapy in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). However, deficiencies and defects, such as in-stent restenosis (ISR), incomplete stent apposition, stent thrombosis, reinfarction after stent implantation, long-term dual antiplatelet drug use, and adverse reactions of metal implants, plague clinicians and patients. Drug-coated balloon (DCB), which delivers antiproliferative agents into the vessel wall without stent implantation and leaves no implants behind after the procedure, is a novel option for percutaneous coronary intervention and has proven to be a promising strategy in cases of ISR, small vessel coronary artery disease, and bifurcation lesions. However, most of the available experience has been gained in elective percutaneous coronary intervention, and experience in pPCI is lacking. The current evidence for the use of DCB-only in pPCI was discussed and analyzed in this review.

Abstract
Background: The prognostic impact of CHADS2, CHA2DS2-VASc, and CHA2DS2-VASc-HS scores on clinical outcomes after drug-eluting stent (DES) placement has not been fully elucidated. Methods and Results: The present study was a retrospective, non-randomized, single-center, and lesion-based study. Target lesion failure (TLF), comprising cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization, occurred in 7.1% of 872 consecutive de novo coronary lesions in 586 patients. These patients were electively and exclusively treated by DESs from January 2016 to January 2022 until July 2022 with a mean (±SD) observational interval of 411±438 days. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis revealed that CHA2DS2-VASc-HS scores ≥7 (hazard ratio [HR] 1.800; 95% CI 1.06-3.05; P=0.029) was a significant predictor of cumulative TLF among 24 variables evaluated. CHADS2 scores ≥2 (HR 3.213; 95% CI 1.32-7.80; P=0.010) and CHA2DS2-VASc scores ≥5 (HR 1.980; 95% CI 1.10-3.55; P=0.022) were also significant in the multivariate analysis. Pairwise comparisons of receiver operating characteristic curves for CHADS2 score ≥2, CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥5, and CHA2DS2-VASc-HS score ≥7 showed they were equivalent in terms of predicting the incidence of TLF, with areas under the curve of 0.568, 0.575, and 0.573, respectively. Conclusions: All 3 cardiocerebrovascular thromboembolism risk scores were strong predictors of the incidence of cumulative mid-term TLF after elective DES placement, with cut-off values of 2, 5, and 7, respectively, and equivalent prognostic impacts.

Abstract
Performing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for calcified lesions is still a major challenge. Calcified lesions are a cause of inadequate dilatation, leading to poor short- and long-term PCI outcomes. It has been suggested that modification for calcification before stent implantation might improve outcomes by providing adequate dilation. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is available under insurance reimbursement in December 2022 in Japan. IVL is one candidate for a treatment device to modify calcified lesions in addition to atherectomy, such as rotational and orbital atherectomy, and special balloons, such as scoring and cutting balloons. Although the evidence for the indications, of these devices is insufficient, they must be used appropriately in clinical practice. In this report, we propose a method for determining an indication of these devices solely as per the coronary imaging findings with intravascular ultrasound or optical coherent tomography. This consensus document represents the collective opinion of experts on the best current indications and should be changed based on future evidence. However, we believe that it represents the optimal criteria for selecting treatment options in the current situation.

Abstract
The Task Force on Rotational Atherectomy of the Japanese Association of Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics (CVIT) proposed the expert consensus document to summarize the techniques and evidences regarding rotational atherectomy (RA) in 2020. Because the revascularization strategy to severely calcified lesions is the hottest topic in contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), many evidences related to RA have been published since 2020. Latest advancements have been incorporated in this updated expert consensus document.

Abstract
Optical coherence tomography (OCT), an established intravascular imaging technique, enables rapid acquisition of high-resolution images during invasive coronary procedures to assist physician decision-making. OCT has utility in identifying plaque/lesion morphology (e.g., thrombus, degree of calcification, and presence of lipid) and vessel geometry (lesion length and vessel diameter) and in guiding stent optimisation through identification of malapposition and underexpansion. The use of OCT guidance during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) has demonstrated improved procedural and clinical outcomes in longitudinal registries, although randomised controlled trial data remain pending. Despite growing data and guideline endorsement to support OCT guidance during PCI, its use in different countries is not well established. This article is based on an advisory panel meeting that included experts from Southeast Asia (SEA) and is aimed at understanding the current clinical utility of intracoronary imaging and OCT, assessing the barriers and enablers of imaging and OCT adoption, and mapping a path for the future of intravascular imaging in SEA. This is the first Southeast Asian consensus that provides insights into the use of OCT from a clinician's point of view.

[PMID: 36609638 DOI: 10.1007/s10554-022-02537-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2021] [Accepted: 01/24/2022] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
To explore the potential significance of the reverberation of calcification by comparing both intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurement post manual coregistration. The reverberation phenomenon is often detected by IVUS for severe calcified lesions post rotational atherectomy (RA), which is thought to be due to the glassy and smooth inner surfaces of calcifications. Because of the poor penetration of IVUS, it is impossible to measure the thickness of calcifications, and the relationship between multiple reverberations and the thickness of calcification lesions has not been reported before. A total of forty-nine patients with severe calcified coronary lesions that were detected by IVUS and OCT simultaneously were enrolled in our retrospective study. If reverberation phenomena were detected by IVUS, intravascular imaging (IVI) data (including distance between the IVUS catheter center and the inner surface of the reverberation signal, the intervals between all adjacent reverberation signals, the number of layers of reverberation in IVUS, and the thickness of the calcification in OCT) were measured at the same position and same direction (each cross-section had 4 mutually perpendicular directions) at 1-mm intervals. The correlation between each reverberation observational value and OCT data was the primary target in this retrospective study, and the correlation between reverberation and calcium crack post predilatation was analyzed in other 15 patients. Four hundred twenty-eight valid observational points were analyzed simultaneously by IVUS and OCT; among them, 300 points had a single layer of reverberation, 83 had double layers of reverberation and 42 had multiple layers (≥ 3 layers) of reverberation by IVUS detection post-RA. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the number of layers of reverberation by IVUS was significantly related to the thickness of calcifications by OCT at the same point and in the same direction (p < 0.001). Single, double, and multiple layers of reverberation in IVUS correspond to median calcification thicknesses (interquartile ranges (IQRs)) of 0.620 mm (0.520-0.720), 0.950 mm (0.840-1.040) and 1.185 mm (1.068-1.373), respectively, by OCT detection. Another 100 points in other 15 patients with integrated IVUS data pre- and post-predilatation showed that only single layer of reverberation was related to calcium crack (p < 0.001). The number of layers of reverberation signal detected by IVUS is positively correlated with the thickness of calcifications measured by OCT post-RA and single layer of reverberation is correlated to calcium crack post-predilatation.

Characteristics and Pattern of Calcified Nodule and/or Nodular Calcification Detected by Intravascular Ultrasound on the Device-Oriented Composite Endpoint (DoCE) in Patients with Heavily Calcified Lesions Who Underwent Rotational Atherectomy-Assisted Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. J Interv Cardiol 2023; 2023:6456695. [PMID: 36721852 PMCID: PMC9884160 DOI: 10.1155/2023/6456695] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2022] [Revised: 11/25/2022] [Accepted: 12/19/2022] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to determine characteristics and pattern of a calcified nodule (CN) and/or nodular calcification (NC) detected by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) on the device-oriented composite endpoint (DoCE) in patients with calcified lesions who underwent rotational atherectomy (RA)-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Background The characteristics and pattern of a CN and/or NC on clinical outcome remain unknown. Methods We retrospectively enrolled patients who underwent RA-assisted PCI at Siriraj Hospital during August 2016 to April 2020. Preprocedural IVUS imaging was mandatory. CN/NC was defined as convex shape of luminal surface and luminal side of calcium with protrusion into the coronary artery lumen as assessed by IVUS. The primary outcome was cumulative of DoCE, defined as the composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and clinically-driven target lesion revascularization. Results Two hundred patients were included. Primary outcome occurred in 14%. The cumulative DoCE was significantly higher in the CN/NC group than that in the non-CN/NC group (20.7% vs. 8.8%, p = 0.022). CN/NC (p = 0.023) and MSA ≤ 5.5 mm2 (p = 0.047) were correlated with a significantly higher cumulative DoCE. CN/NC was the independent predictor for the cumulative DoCE (HR = 2.96, 95% CI 1.08-8.11, p = 0.035). Pattern and characteristic of CN/NC have a prognostic value. Patients with an eccentric CN/NC had a significantly higher cumulative DoCE compared to those CN/NC with concentric calcification (p = 0.014). Conclusion The presence of a CN/NC in patients with heavily calcified lesions who underwent RA-assisted PCI was found to be associated with increased cumulative 5 year DoCE, especially in patients with an eccentric CN/NC. The clinical trial is registered with TCTR20210616001.

Early experience with coronary debulking devices in a newcomer facility after introducing revised facility criteria in Japan. Cardiovasc Interv Ther 2023; 38:104-112. [PMID: 35976608 DOI: 10.1007/s12928-022-00885-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Coronary debulking devices are essential in obtaining optimal results in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for severely calcified lesions. However, since the introduction of these devices in Japan, the presence of full-time cardiovascular surgeons in their own facilities has been an essential condition (on-site surgical back-up) as the facility criteria for their use. The criteria were revised in April 2020, making their implementation possible at our hospital. Between May 2020 and January 2022, we administered PCIs using rotational atherectomy (RA) for 33 lesions in 28 patients and orbital atherectomy system (OAS) for 36 lesions in 27 patients. The most preferred strategy in our hospital is OAS via the distal radial approach using a 6Fr Glide sheath or RA via the femoral approach using a 7Fr sheath. The percentages of usable imaging modality as an initial device without lesion modification were 57.1 and 66.7% in the RA and OAS groups, respectively. In the RA procedure, 1.5- and 2.0-mm Rota burrs were more frequently adopted for the initial and second sessions, respectively. In the OAS procedure, the debulking was always initiated at a low speed. Nineteen of the 27 patients underwent additional high-speed debulking. Pre-procedural quantitative coronary angiographic analysis revealed that the minimal lumen diameter was significantly smaller in the RA than in the OAS group. Debulking procedures were successful in all patients excluding two instances of procedure-related complications in the RA group, one of which was coronary perforation safely treated via covered stent deployment without any resulting hemodynamic instability. Our early experience with coronary debulking devices with off-site surgical back-up clearly reveals the safety and feasibility of this procedure in a newcomer facility.

Abstract
Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of an IVUS-guided rotational atherectomy (RA) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in chronic renal patients with complex coronary calcification who are at risk for contrast-related acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods From October 2018 to October 2021, 48 patients with chronic renal disease who were receiving PCI with RA at the General Hospital of NingXia Medical University were informed for data collection for this research. They were randomly assigned to the IVUS-guided RA group and the Standard RA group, which did not use IVUS. According to a clinical expert consensus document on rotational atherectomy in China, both PCI procedures were performed. The intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) results from the study group were used to describe the morphology of the lesion and to guide the selection of burrs, balloons, and stents. IVUS and angiography were used to evaluate the outcome in the end. IVUS-guided RA PCI and Standard RA PCI groups' effects and results were contrasted. Results There were no appreciable differences in the clinical baseline characteristics between the IVUS-guided RA PCI group and the Standard RA PCI group. The average estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of two groups was (81.42 ± 20.22 vs 82.34 ± 22.19) mL/min/1.73 m2. Most of them (45.8% vs 54.2%) was in stage 60-90 mL/min/1.73m2. When compared to the standard RA PCI group, RA in IVUS-Guided group was more performed electively (87.5% vs 58.3%; p = 0.02). The IVUS-guided RA PCI group was associated with shorter fluoroscopy time (20.6 ± 8.4 vs 36 ± 22; p<0.01) and less contrast amount (32 ±16 vs 184 ±116mL; p<0.01) than Standard-RA group. Five patients in the Standard RA PCI group developed contrast-induced nephropathy, which was 5 times than the IVUS-guided RA PCI group (20.8% VS 4.1%; p=0.19). Conclusion In chronic renal patients with complex coronary calcification, an IVUS-guided RA PCI technique is effective and safe. It can also lower the volume of contrast and perhaps the incidence of contrast-related AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kawasaki disease (KD) induces coronary arteritis, which causes subsequent coronary aneurysms, and contributes to acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the differences regarding real-world treatment selection and mortality between AMI-complicated KD and AMI due to typical atherosclerosis (AMI-non KD) are unknown. AIM The aim of the present study was to examine the current treatment strategy and prognosis of AMI-complicated KD compared with AMI due to typical atherosclerosis. METHOD We used data from 2012 to 2019 from a nationwide claim database, the Japanese Registry of All Cardiac and Vascular Diseases-Diagnosis Procedure Combination. RESULTS Compared to the AMI-non KD patients (n = 70,227), the AMI-complicated KD patients (n = 73): (1) underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) less often and more coronary artery bypass grafting, intracoronary thrombolysis or intravenous coronary thrombolysis more often; (2) underwent stentless PCI using old balloon angioplasty or rotablator, when they underwent PCI; and (3) needed in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation and intensive mechanical therapy such as intra-aortic balloon pump, percutaneous cardiopulmonary support or a respirator. Both the AMI-non KD and AMI-complicated KD patients had similar in-hospital mortality rates. CONCLUSIONS Compared with AMI-non KD patients, AMI-complicated KD patients underwent non-PCI strategies such as bypass surgery or thrombolysis, and required intensive therapy with mechanical supports more often, but presented similar in-hospital mortality. When the AMI-complicated KD patients underwent PCI, stentless PCI using balloon angioplasty or rotablator was performed more often compared with the AMI-non KD patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This prospective study accessed the feasibility and safety of the heparin rota-flush solution in patients undergoing rotational atherectomy (RA). METHODS Between August 2019 and November 2021, 200 patients who underwent RA were included in this study, among whom 103 (51.5%) were randomly allocated into the heparin rota-flush group and 97 (48.5%) into the traditional rota-flush group. The primary endpoint was the incidence of slow flow/no-reflow after RA; the secondary endpoints were procedural success, RA-related procedural complications, and in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). RESULTS There were no significant differences in baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics between the two groups. Thirty patients (29.1%) in the heparin rota-flush group and nineteen patients (19.6%) in the traditional rota-flush groups developed slow flow/no-reflow (P = 0.117), respectively, and procedural success was also comparable (97.1% vs. 93.8%, P = 0.320). Severe hypotension (systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg) was not significantly different (15.5% vs. 16.5%, P = 0.841), but the incidence of coronary spasm was significantly higher in the heparin rota-flush group (42.7% vs. 22.7%, P = 0.003). MACE including stent-thrombosis (ST), target-lesion revascularization (TLR), and cardiac death were also comparable between the two groups; no stroke was observed. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that although continuous intracoronary infusion of heparin rota-flush solution does not increase the incidence of slow flow/no-reflow, traditional rota-flush solution without RotaGlide prevents coronary spasm more effectively compared to the heparin rota-flush without significant impact on severe hypotension. These results do not support a strategy of routine use of heparin rota-flush solution in patients receiving RA procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) often allows us to observe reverberations behind calcification in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to heavily calcified lesions. However, clinical significance of reverberations remains unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of reverberations on stent expansion and clinical outcomes after PCI with rotational atherectomy (RA) to heavily calcified lesions. METHODS We considered 250 calcified lesions that underwent IVUS-guided PCI with RA. According to the number of reverberations (NR), those lesions were divided into the high NR (≥3) group (n = 36) and the low NR (≤2) group (n = 214). Stent expansion and the cumulative incidence of ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization (ID-TLR) were compared between the high and low NR groups. RESULTS The high NR group showed significantly smaller stent expansion rate than the low NR group (67.7% vs. 75.9%, respectively, p=0.02). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high NR and calcified nodule were significantly associated with stent underexpansion. The incidence of ID-TLR was significantly higher in the high NR group than in the low NR group (p=0.03). In multivariate Cox hazard analysis, high NR and acute coronary syndrome were significantly associated with ID-TLR. CONCLUSIONS High NR was significantly associated with stent underexpansion and ID-TLR. When high NR was detected by IVUS, the PCI strategy was be planned carefully to avoid stent underexpansion. The follow-up program of the patients with high NR might need to be scheduled prudently because of the high risk of TLR.

Rota-Lithotripsy as a Novel Bail-Out Strategy for Highly Calcified Coronary Lesions in Acute Coronary Syndrome. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10112795. [DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10112795] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2022] [Revised: 10/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Heavily calcified lesions in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) still represent a challenging subset for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Rota-lithotripsy—a marriage of rotational atherectomy and intravascular lithotripsy—has recently been introduced to clinical practice as a novel therapeutic option. Methods: This study is among the to present the 6-month clinical outcomes of rota-lithotripsy when performed in the ACS setting. The study cohort consisted of 15 consecutive ACS patients who underwent a rota-lithotripsy-PCI due to the presence of a highly calcified, undilatable lesion. Results: The procedural success ratio reached 100%. During the 6-month follow-up, in two of the patients, instances of MACE (major adverse cardiac events) occurred, including one fatal event. Additionally, during the observation period, one target lesion failure, due to subacute stent thrombosis, was identified. Conclusions: Rotational atherectomy with the subsequent use of shockwave intravascular lithotripsy appears to be a safe and effective therapeutic bail-out option for the management of highly calcified coronary artery lesions. Despite, these initial favorable outcomes, carrying out a large number of studies with long-term observations is still necessary in order to establish the potential benefits and shortcomings of rota-lithotripsy.

Abstract
Background Evidence regarding the clinical outcomes of rotational atherectomy (RA) in middle-income countries is limited. We analyzed the clinical outcomes of patients with heavily calcified coronary lesions who underwent RA-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and explored the risks for developing major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). Methods This is a single-center, retrospective cohort analysis that enrolled consecutive patients who underwent RA-assisted PCI at the largest tertiary hospital in Thailand. The primary endpoint is the incidence of MACCE during the first-year follow-up. MACCE consists of cardiac death, ischemic stroke, definite stent thrombosis, target lesion revascularization, and target vessel revascularization. Results From January 2015 to December 2018, 616 patients (663 lesions) were enrolled. The mean age was 72.8 ± 9.7 years, 292 (47.4%) patients were female and 523 (84.9%) completed one-year follow-up. Drug-eluting stents were deployed in 606 (91.4%) lesions. The RA success rate - defined as when the operator successfully passed the burr across the target lesion - was 99.4% and the angiographic success rate was 94.8%. 130 (21.4%) procedures developed periprocedural complications. The cumulative MACCE rate at 30-days was 1.5% and at 1-year was 6.3%. The in-hospital mortality rate was 1.1% and the cardiac death rate was 1.6%. Independent risk factors for developing MACCE included the use of an intra-aortic balloon pump (hazard ratio [HR] 3.96, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.54-10.21; P = 0.004), a history coronary artery bypass graft (HR 2.30, 95% CI 1.01-5.25; P = 0.048), and increased serum creatinine (HR 1.16, 95% CI 1.04-1.30; P = 0.008). Conclusions RA is an effective revascularization technique for heavily calcified lesions. This study demonstrates a high success rate and good short- to intermediate-term results of RA-assisted PCI in middle-income countries which are similar to high-income countries. Nevertheless, the rate of periprocedural complications remains high.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) after discharge in Japanese acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS The study population included 1,429 AMI patients (199 with LVEF ≤35% and 1,230 with LVEF >35%) admitted to the Hirosaki University Hospital, treated with primary PCI within 12 h after onset, and survived to discharge. LVEF was evaluated in all patients before discharge, and the patients were followed up for a mean of 2.6±0.8 years. The Kaplan-Meier survival curves revealed LVEF ≤35% was associated with all-cause death and SCD. The incidence of SCD was 2.6% at 1 year and 3.1% at 3 years in patients with LVEF ≤35%, whereas it was 0.1% at 1 year and 0.3% at 3 years in patients with LVEF >35%. Sixty-seven percent of SCDs in patients with LVEF ≤35% occurred within 4 months after discharge, and the events became less frequent after this period. A Cox proportional hazard model indicated LVEF ≤35% as an independent predictor for all-cause death and SCD. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of SCD was relatively low in Japanese AMI patients treated with primary PCI, even in patients with LVEF ≤35% upon discharge. Careful management of patients with reduced LVEF is required to prevent SCD, especially in the early phase after discharge.

Abstract
AIMS Calcified nodule (CN) has been known as the advanced stage of coronary calcification. However, clinical outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to CN remain unknown. This study aimed to compare clinical outcomes, including target lesion revascularization (TLR), between calcified coronary lesions with and without CN. METHODS Two hundred forty-nine lesions undergoing intravascular ultrasound-guided PCI with rotational atherectomy (RA) were enrolled and divided into the CN group (n=100) and the non-CN group (n=149) according to the presence of CN. The cumulative incidence of clinically driven TLR (CD-TLR) and the reasons for CD-TLR were compared between the CN and non-CN groups. RESULTS The incidence of CD-TLR was significantly higher in the CN group than in the non-CN group. In the landmark analysis at 1 year, the CN group showed a significantly higher incidence of CD-TLR within 1 year. However, the incidence of CD-TLR beyond 1 year was numerically lower in the CN group than in the non-CN group. In the multivariate Cox hazard model, CN was significantly associated with CD-TLR. In the CN group, in-stent CN was the major reason for CD-TLR (52%) and was observed mainly within 1 year (90%). CONCLUSIONS In the heavily calcified lesions requiring RA, CN was the factor associated with the higher rate of CD-TLR especially within 1 year. The timing of CD-TLR in lesions with CN may indicate that the process of CN protruding through the struts was progressed monthly.

Impact of rotational atherectomy on the incidence of side branch compromise in calcified bifurcation lesions undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention. J Cardiol 2022; 80:518-524. [PMID: 35882614 DOI: 10.1016/j.jjcc.2022.07.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2022] [Revised: 06/30/2022] [Accepted: 07/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to the calcified bifurcation lesion is still a challenging issue even for experienced interventional cardiologists. In such bifurcation lesions, side branch compromise caused by carina-shift or plaque shift just following stent implantation or balloon dilatation is one of the most important complications. It remains unclear whether rotational atherectomy (RA) to the main vessel reduces the incidence of side branch compromise in the calcified bifurcation lesions. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the incidence of side branch compromise/occlusion between PCI with versus without RA. METHODS This was a retrospective, single-center study. Side branch compromise/occlusion was defined as final Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction flow grade of side branch ≤2/≤1. We included 302 calcified bifurcation lesions, and divided those into the RA group (n = 140) and the non-RA group (n = 162) according to use of RA to the main vessel. RESULTS The incidence of side branch compromise/occlusion was significantly less in the RA group than in the non-RA group (compromise: 6.4 % versus 14.2 %, p = 0.038; occlusion: 3.6 % versus 10.5 %, p = 0.017). RA was inversely associated with the incidence of side branch compromise [odds ratio (OR) 0.272, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.096-0.772, p = 0.014] and occlusion (OR 0.175, 95 % CI 0.049-0.628, p = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS RA to the main vessel was associated with a lower incidence of side branch compromise/occlusion. RA to the main vessel only may be a reasonable approach to reduce the risk of side branch compromise/occlusion in calcified bifurcation lesions.

Abstract
Periprocedural myocardial infarction (PMI) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is more frequently observed in true bifurcation lesions such as Medina (1,1,1) and (0,1,1). The aim of this study is to compare the incidence of PMI in elective PCI between Medina (1,1,1) and (0,1,1) bifurcation lesions. This was a retrospective, single-center study. We included 162 true bifurcation lesions, which were divided into the (1,1,1) group (n = 85) and the (0,1,1) group (n = 77). We compared the incidence of PMI between the two groups and performed multivariate logistic regression analysis using PMI as a dependent variable. The incidence of PMI was similar in the (1,1,1) group and the (0,1,1) group (12.9% versus 15.6%, P = 0.658). The final TIMI flow grade of the side branches and that of the main branches were also similar in the two groups. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, Medina classification (1,1,1) was not associated with PMI (odds ratio (OR), 0.996; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.379-2.621; P = 0.994), but the angle of the side branch < 45° (OR, 3.569; 95% CI, 1.320-9.654; P = 0.012), lesion length in a main vessel (per 10-mm increase) (OR, 1.508; 95% CI, 1.104-2.060; P = 0.010), and absence of side branch protection (OR, 3.034; 95% CI, 1.095-8.409; P = 0.033) were significantly associated with PMI. In conclusion, the Medina (1,1,1) bifurcation lesions did not increase the incidence of PMI as compared to Medina (0,1,1). However, the narrow side branch angle, diffuse long lesion, and absence of side branch protection were significantly associated with PMI. We should pay attention to these high-risk features in the treatment of true bifurcation lesions.

High-definition intravascular ultrasound versus optical frequency domain imaging for the detection of calcium modification and fracture in heavily calcified coronary lesion.

Abstract
While optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) can delineate calcium modification and fracture, the capability of high-definition intravascular ultrasound (HD-IVUS) for detecting these remains unclear. This study evaluated diagnostic accuracy of HD-IVUS for assessing calcium modification and fracture as compared to OFDI. HD-IVUS and OFDI were used during orbital or rotational atherectomy procedures conducted for 21 heavily calcified coronary lesions in 19 patients. With OFDI assessment used as the gold standard, diagnostic accuracies of HD-IVUS for calcium modification and fracture were compared every 1 mm to the matched pre-stenting images (n = 1129). Calcium modification, as assessed by OFDI, was defined as polished and concave-shaped calcium. For HD-IVUS, calcium modification was defined as the presence of reverberation with concave-shaped calcium. In both assessments, the definition of calcium fracture was defined as a slit or complete break in the calcium plate. Calcified plaque was found in 86.4% of analyzed OFDI images. Calcium modification and fracture were detected in 20.6% and 11.0% of detected calcified plaques. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of HD-IVUS detection for calcium modification and fracture were 54.4%, 97.8%, 86.7%, 89.1% and 86.0%, 94.5%, 58.2%, 96.8%, respectively. Discordance cases between both assessments demonstrated that heterogeneous calcium visualized by OFDI, separated calcium, and guide wire artifact can be misdiagnosed. Diagnostic accuracies of HD-IVUS for assessing calcium modification and fracture were acceptable as compared to OFDI. Such findings can be of utility during imaging guided interventional procedures with atherectomy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Device entrapment is a life-threatening complication during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, the success for its management is predominantly based on operator experience with limited available guidance in the published literature. METHODS A systematic review was performed on December 2021; we searched PubMed for articles on device entrapment during PCI. In addition, backward snowballing (i.e., review of references from identified articles and pertinent reviews) was employed. RESULTS A total of 4209 articles were retrieved, of which 150 studies were included in the synthesis of the data. A methodical algorithmic approach to prevention and management of device entrapment can help to optimize outcomes. The recommended sequence of steps are as follows: (a) pulling, (b) trapping, (c) snaring, (d) plaque modification, (e) telescoping, and (f) surgery. CONCLUSIONS In-depth knowledge of the techniques and necessary tools can help optimize the likelihood of successful equipment retrieval and minimization of complications.

Incidence and prognostic impact of the calcified nodule in coronary artery disease patients with end-stage renal disease on dialysis. Heart Vessels 2022; 37:1662-1668. [PMID: 35499643 DOI: 10.1007/s00380-022-02076-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2021] [Accepted: 04/08/2022] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
Coronary artery calcification is frequently observed in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Calcified nodule (CN) is recognized as one of the vulnerable plaque characteristics responsible for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Although CN is a cause of ACS in only 10%, its prevalence may be higher in elderly patients and/or ESRD. The aim of this study is to investigate incidence, clinical characteristics, and prognostic impact of CN in CAD patients with ESRD on dialysis. A total of 51 vessels from 49 CAD patients with ESRD on dialysis were enrolled in this study. CN was defined as a high-backscattering mass protruding into the lumen with a strong signal attenuation and an irregular surface by optical coherence tomography. Incidence, clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with CN were studied. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were defined as a composite of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization (TVR) and stroke. CNs were observed in 30 vessels from 29 patients (59.2%). Duration of dialysis was significantly longer in CN group than in non-CN group (P = 0.03). Overall, all-cause death, cardiac death, TVR and MACE occurred in 7 (14.3%), 3 (6.1%), 11 (22.4%) and 16 (32.7%) patients during follow-up (median 826 days), respectively. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that MACE-free survival was significantly lower in patients with CN compared with those without CN (Log-rank, P = 0.036).In conclusion, CN was observed in about 60% of the CAD patients with ESRD and was associated with duration of dialysis and worse prognosis.

Intravascular ultrasound-factors associated with slow flow following rotational atherectomy in heavily calcified coronary artery. Sci Rep 2022; 12:5674. [PMID: 35383228 PMCID: PMC8983755 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-09585-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2021] [Accepted: 03/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) can provide useful information in patients undergoing complex percutaneous coronary intervention with rotational atherectomy (RA). The association between IVUS findings and slow flow following rotational atherectomy (RA) has not been investigated, although slow flow has been shown to be an unfavorable sign with worse outcomes. The aim of this study was to determine the IVUS-factors associated with slow flow just after RA. We retrospectively enrolled 290 lesions (5316 IVUS-frames) with RA, which were divided into the slow flow group (n = 43 with 1029 IVUS-frames) and the non-slow flow group (n = 247 with 4287 IVUS-frames) based on the presence of slow flow. Multivariate regression analysis assessed the IVUS-factors associated with slow flow. Slow flow was significantly associated with long lesion length, the maximum number of reverberations [odds ratio (OR) 1.49; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.07–2.07, p = 0.02] and nearly circumferential calcification at minimal lumen area (MLA) (≥ 300°) (OR, 2.21; 95% CI 1.13–4.32; p = 0.02). According to the maximum number of reverberations, the incidence of slow flow was 2.2% (n = 0), 11.9% (n = 1), 19.5% (n = 2), 22.5% (n = 3), and 44.4% (n = 4). In conclusion, IVUS findings such as longer lesion length, the maximum number of reverberations, and the greater arc of calcification at MLA may predict slow flow after RA. The operators need to pay more attention to the presence of reverberations to enhance the procedure safety.

The Impact of Intracoronary Imaging on PCI Outcomes in Cases Utilising Rotational Atherectomy: An Analysis of 8,417 Rotational Atherectomy Cases from the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society Database. J Interv Cardiol 2022; 2022:5879187. [PMID: 35360091 PMCID: PMC8941577 DOI: 10.1155/2022/5879187] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2022] [Revised: 01/31/2022] [Accepted: 02/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction There is increasing evidence supporting the use of intracoronary imaging to optimize the outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, there are no studies examining the impact of imaging on PCI outcomes in cases utilising rotational atherectomy (RA-PCI). Our study examines the determinants and outcomes of using intracoronary imaging in RA-PCI cases including 12-month mortality. Methods Using the British Cardiac Intervention Society database, data were analysed on all RA-PCI procedures in the UK between 2007 and 2014. Descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regressions were used to examine baseline, procedural, and outcome associations with intravascular imaging. Results Intracoronary imaging was used in 1,279 out of 8,417 RA-PCI cases (15.2%). Baseline covariates associated with significantly more imaging use were number of stents used, smoking history, previous CABG, pressure wire use, proximal LAD disease, laser use, glycoprotein inhibitor use, cutting balloons, number of restenosis attempted, off-site surgery, and unprotected left main stem (uLMS) PCI. Adjusted rates of in-hospital major adverse cardiac/cerebrovascular events (IH-MACCE), its individual components (death, peri-procedural MI, stroke, and major bleed), or 12-month mortality were not significantly altered by the use of imaging in RA-PCI. However, subgroup analysis demonstrated a signal towards reduction in 12-month mortality in uLMS RA-PCI cases utilising intracoronary imaging (OR 0.67, 95% CI 0.44–1.03). Conclusions Intracoronary imaging use during RA-PCI is associated with higher risk of baseline and procedural characteristics. There were no differences observed in IH-MACCE or 12-month mortality with intracoronary imaging in RA-PCI.
