Background: Endovascular therapy has become established as a first-line therapy in most arterial regions. However, open vascular surgery (endarterectomy) remains the treatment of choice for common femoral artery (CFA) lesions. The aim of this study is to investigate the acute and mid-term results of directional atherectomy plus drug-coated balloon (DCB) in comparison to endarterectomy in treatment of de novo arteriosclerotic CFA lesions.

Many lesions in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) exhibit significant calcification. Several techniques have been developed to improve outcomes in this setting. However, their impact on coronary microcirculation remains unknown.

Background: Severely calcified coronary bifurcations complicate percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and often necessitate dedicated lesion preparation. We compared the outcomes of single- versus two-stent techniques for treating heavily calcified true bifurcation lesions following rotational atherectomy (RA).
Methods: Among patients receiving RA for severely calcified true bifurcations at a single center, 59 were treated with a single stent, and another 59 received two stents.
