Article Synopsis
- - The study examined the long-term outcomes and in-hospital results of rotational atherectomy (RA) in treating chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesions versus non-CTO calcified lesions, involving 812 patients and 869 lesions.
- - Findings showed that while the angiographic success rate was lower for CTO patients (88.8% vs 94.9%), the in-hospital major adverse cardiac events rates were similar between the two groups.
- - At two years, the CTO group had a higher target lesion failure rate (25.5% vs 15.1%) mainly due to increased cardiac mortality, although elective RA proved to be a beneficial method with shorter procedure times and fewer complications.
