Despite advances in technology, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of severely calcified coronary lesions remains challenging. Rotational atherectomy is one of the current therapeutic options to manage calcified lesions, but has a limited role in facilitating the dilation or stenting of lesions that cannot be crossed or expanded with other PCI techniques due to unfavourable clinical outcome in long-term follow-up. However the results of orbital atherectomy presented in the ORBIT I and ORBIT II trials were encouraging. In addition to these encouraging data, necessity for sufficient lesion preparation before implantation of bioresorbable scaffolds lead to resurgence in the use of atherectomy. This article summarises currently available publications on orbital atherectomy (Cardiovascular Systems Inc.) and compares them with rotational atherectomy.

Background: Very little data exists regarding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as an alternative to coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) for the treatment of unprotected left main disease (LMD) in octogenarians, and no studies to date have compared CABG and PCI for the treatment of LMD in this population. The objectives of our study were to compare the acute and midterm follow-up results of PCI and CABG for the treatment of significant LMD in octogenarians. Methods: A total of 163 consecutive patients ≥80 years old diagnosed with LMD have undergone coronary revascularization in our center between 2002 and 2006. One hundred and one patients underwent CABG and 62 patients had PCI (non-surgical candidates: 30%, very high surgical risk patients: 61%, patient refusal of CABG: 9%). All complications occurring within the first 30 days following the procedure were recorded, and major adverse cardiovascular events -MACCE- (cardiac death, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular event, revascularization) were evaluated at follow-up. Results: Patients who underwent PCI were older (85 ± 3 yrs vs. 82 ± 2 yrs, p<0.0001), presented more frequently with an acute coronary syndrome (92% vs. 50%, p<0.0001), and had a higher EuroSCORE (9.5 ± 2.7 vs. 8.5 ± 2.5, p=0.01). Drug-eluting stents were used in 48% of PCI patients. There were no significant differences in the incidence of MACCE at 30 days between groups (CABG: 28%, PCI: 19%, p=0.22), but the CABG group was associated with a higher rate of atrial fibrillation (48% vs. 14%, p<0.0001) and acute renal failure (17% vs. 6%, p=0.05). The incidence of MACCE occurring between 30 days and 24 ± 17 months follow-up was higher in the PCI group (32% vs. 13%, p=0.005), but the cumulative incidence of MACCE was similar in both groups (CABG 39% vs. PCI 44%, p=0.53). Conclusions: PCI was associated with a 30-day cardiac event rate similar to that of CABG for the treatment of unprotected LMD in octogenarians. Surgical patients experienced fewer cardiac events during the follow-up period, but the cardiovascular event-free survival rate was similar between groups at 2-year follow-up. Further randomized studies with longer-term follow-up comparing both revascularization strategies in this high risk coronary population are warranted.

Previous observational studies and meta-analyses reported that the optimal strategy of coronary revascularization (percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI] and bypass surgery) for anatomically complex coronary artery lesions in the chronic hemodialysis setting is still controversial because the long-term outcomes were superior with coronary artery bypass grafting, especially with regard to repeat revascularization; however, short-term mortality with PCI was significantly lower because it is less invasive. Moreover, no guidelines show a strategy for this setting. We report the case of a patient with chronic dialysis and calcified left main true bifurcation lesion who underwent staged PCI with rotational atherectomy and minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass for in-stent restenosis who died of non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia.

Background: With the follow-up extending to 5 years, the outcomes of SYNTAX (Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with TAXUS and Cardiac Surgery) trial were comparable between coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in left-main (LM) patients with intermediate SYNTAX scores of 23–32. A subdivision depending on SYNTAX score will help to identify unsuitable LM patients with intermediate SYNTAX scores to receive PCI treatment.Methods: Between January 2011 and June 2013, 104 patients with LM Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) undergoing PCI were selected retrospectively. We compared clinical outcomes in patients with SYNTAX score <27 and ≥27. The follow-up time was 25.23 ± 7.92 months. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses and Cox proportional hazards models were used to compare various outcomes between two groups.Results: Higher rates of repeated revascularization (18.2% versus 4.2%, P = .027) and major adverse cerebro-cardiovascular events (MACCE) (24.2% versus 7.0%, P = .014) were shown in patients with SYNTAX score ≥ 27. After multivariate adjustment, a significant higher risk of repeated revascularization (hazard ratio: 6.25, 95% confidence interval: 1.48 to 26.37, P = .013) and MACCE (hazard ratio: 4.49, 95% confidence interval: 1.41 to 14.35, P = .011) were also found in patients with SYNTAX score ≥ 27.Conclusions: Based on the higher rate of repeated revascularization and MACCE, patients with LM CAD and intermediate SYNTAX scores will need a subdivision to identity the one not benefit from PCI. CABG is still the standard treatment method for patients of LM CAD with a SYNTAX score of ≥ 27.

Abstract Introduction Conservative treatment unprotected left main coronary (uLMCA) disease has a high mortality rate (50% at 3 years). Since octogenarian patients are often dismissed for surgical treatment, they tend to adopt a more conservative attitude in this population. Purpose We report medium and long-term outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for uLCMA stenosis in elderly patients. Methods Retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients ≥80 years with uLMCA stenosis, treated with PCI at a single center between June 2005 and February 2017. Results A total of 100 patients were included in the study. 58% were male, with a mean age of 83.8±3 years. There were 86% hypertensive, 63% diabetic and 68% dyslipidemic. 14% of the patients had an LVEF ≤35%. Unstable angina (45%) and acute coronary syndromes withouth ST-segment elevation (44%) were the most common presentation. In 9% of the cases, cardiogenic shock was the initial presentation form. The distal left main coronary was the most frequent localitation of the lesion (46%) followed by the ostium (33%). In 63% of the cases, a multivessel coronary disease was detected and in 47% the revascularization was incomplete. The survival rate after a year follow up was 79% and after three years follow up was 65%. However, in most of the cases the cause of death was due to other comorbidities, with cardiac death being 10% per year and 13% at 3 years of follow-up. The rate of non-fatal acute myocardial infarction was 13% per year, increasing to 20% at 3 years of follow-up. There was a 9% stent restenosis implanted at 3 years. The presence of severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction was the main predictor of mortality in long-term follow-up (OR 1.39 [95% CI 1.10–1.752], p<0.001). Incomplete revascularization was not associated with a higher mortality rate. Conclusion PCI is a safety option for revascularization in uLMCA stenosis in elderly patientes with excellent short-term results, as well as acceptable long-term results. Age should not be a handicap to consider uLMCA revascularization in this population.
