Stentablation with rotational atherectomy for the management of undilatable underexpanded coronary stents is a unique application associated with excellent periprocedural and in-hospital outcomes. Data regarding long-term outcomes remains limited, however the procedure appears to be associated with high prevalence of target lesion revascularization. Given the complexity of such lesions and few available interventional remedies; it is a reasonably safe and widely available approach of which operators should be aware. When stentablation is performed, the principles which guide contemporary rotational atherectomy and percutaneous coronary intervention, including intravascular imaging, should be applied.

Segmentation of coronary artery and calcification using prior knowledge based deep learning framework.
Med Phys
January 2025
School of Computer Science and Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing, China.
Background: Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is used to screen for coronary artery calcification. As the coronary artery has complicated structure and tiny lumen, manual screening is a time-consuming task. Recently, many deep learning methods have been proposed for the segmentation (SEG) of coronary artery and calcification, however, they often neglect leveraging related anatomical prior knowledge, resulting in low accuracy and instability.

We report the case of a 73-year-old male with a history of recurrent coronary interventions who presented with progressive angina and was diagnosed with a chronic total occlusion (CTO) of a heavily calcified and tortuous right coronary artery (RCA). Standard antegrade and retrograde techniques were attempted but failed due to the complexity of the lesion. A novel "Drag-Drill" technique was employed, utilizing a retrogradely externalized RG3 guidewire as a rotational atherectomy wire, enabling successful rotational atherectomy and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

In 2021, CMS waived the "substantial clinical improvement" criterion for devices designated under the FDA Breakthrough Devices Program (BDP). This study characterized risk-standardized payments associated with hospitalizations in which Medicare beneficiaries received calcium modification during PCI for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) following the adoption of the Shockwave C Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) Catheter (Shockwave Medical) with BDP designation.

Objectives: To compare the safety and efficacy of debulking devices, including directional atherectomy (DA) and excimer laser atherectomy (ELA), when combined with drug-coated balloons (DCB) for treating de novo femoropopliteal atherosclerotic obliterans (ASO). Additionally, to evaluate the long-term outcomes and application status of these different debulking devices.
Methods: Clinical data were collected from patients with femoropopliteal ASO who underwent combined debulking and DCBs at the Vascular Surgery Department of Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, China, between January 2018 and January 2023.
Real-World 12-Month Outcomes with Sirolimus-Coated Balloon Angioplasty for Complex Femoropopliteal Disease.

Department of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Rhein Main Vascular Center, Asklepios Clinics Langen, Paulinen Wiesbaden, 63225 Langen, Germany.
: Sirolimus-coated balloons (SCBs) have emerged as a promising alternative to paclitaxel-coated devices for the treatment of femoropopliteal lesions. However, real-world data on SCB performance in also complex peripheral arterial disease remains unknown. We sought to evaluate the safety and 12-month clinical outcomes of the Selution SLR™ balloon angioplasty in a challenging real-world patient cohort.
