Delays in initiation of targeted temperature management (TTM) have been observed in randomized trials evaluating immediate or delayed coronary angiography among survivors of ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), but whether delays are associated with adverse clinical outcomes is unknown. Resuscitated survivors of VT/VF OHCA who received TTM between April 2011 and June 2015 were identified and time to TTM initiation was described. The association between TTM initiation <2 versus ≥2 hours, neurologically favorable, and overall survival to hospital discharge was assessed.

Article Synopsis
  • Calcified coronary lesions pose difficulties for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs), and coronary intravascular lithotripsy (IVL), approved in February 2021, offers a new approach but its adoption in the U.S. is not well understood.
  • Among 2.7 million PCIs analyzed, 11.4% utilized calcium modification, with IVL usage increasing from 0% in late 2020 to 7.8% by late 2022, while coronary atherectomy slightly decreased.
  • Significant variation in IVL use was observed across hospitals, with the treating hospital being the main factor influencing both calcium modification and IVL adoption in 2022.
