Background: There are limited reports on the treatment of complex calcified lesions using rotational atherectomy (RA) in octogenarians, particularly in high-risk patients.
Objective: To evaluate procedural and clinical outcomes of RA in octogenarians.
Methods: Consecutive RA patients from 2010 to 2018 were selected from our catheterization laboratory database, stratified into two groups (≥ or < 80 years old), and analyzed.
Objective: Patients with advanced renal insufficiency are at high risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) and complex lesions. Treating complex calcified lesion with rotational atherectomy (RA) in these patients might be associated with higher risks and poorer outcomes. This study was set to evaluate features and outcomes of RA in these patients.
