Performing atherectomy in the subintimal space remains controversial. We describe a case of successful ostial right coronary artery CTO recanalization using rotational atherectomy in subintimal space.

Background: Excimer laser coronary atherectomy (ELCA) is used for thrombotic culprit lesions in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but its effectiveness is still unclear.
Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention within 24 h of onset were retrospectively investigated. Patients were divided into ELCA and non-ELCA groups.

Background: There are limited comparative data on real-world outcomes of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the left main (LM) and non-LM coronary arteries.
Methods: 873 consecutive patients undergoing LM PCI (n=256) and non-LM PCI (n=617) were enrolled between September 2019-March 2023 in the Excellence in Coronary Artery Disease (XLCAD) Registry. Primary outcome was 1-year incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), a composite of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, clinically driven repeat revascularization and ischemic stroke.

Introduction And Objectives: Rotational atherectomy (RA) is widely used for the management of calcified coronary stenoses. However, there is limited data on its use, trends, and outcomes. We sought to report our twelve-year experience with RA and explore the trends and outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with this device.

Background: Preprocedural fasting is widely used before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, the incidence of procedural intubation during PCI is unknown. This study aims to identify the incidence and predictors for procedural intubation during PCI.
