Predictors of In-Hospital Adverse Outcomes after Rotational Atherectomy: Impact of the Target Vessel SYNTAX Score
Highlights
- • The anatomy of the whole segment targeted by the RA burr reflects RA hazards.
- • Tortuous vessels and long lesions associate in-hospital adverse outcomes after RA.
- • Higher target vessel SYNTAX score reflects more in-hospital adverse outcomes after RA.
- • Bailout RA and reduced LVEF predict in-hospital adverse outcomes after RA.
- • In-hospital adverse outcomes are not associated with higher one year MACE.
Abstract
Background
Rotational atherectomy (RA) is an established treatment of calcified lesions, but has some inherent procedural hazards. However, predictors of in-hospital adverse outcomes after RA are poorly investigated.
