    Abstract

    Background

    Rotational atherectomy (RA) is a complex procedure often associated with high contrast load. Known risk scores do not predict contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) before RA. We aim to investigate pre-procedural predictors of CI-AKI after RA, and the role of the target vessel SYNTAX score (tvSS).
