Background: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an increasingly recognized cause of acute coronary syndrome, mostly in women; however, differences between the sexes should be investigated. Materials & methods: Hundred consecutive patients affected by SCAD were identified; coronary lesions were classified according to the most recent classification and clinical and angiographic data of men and women were compared. Results: Men were significantly younger than women, with more cardiovascular risk factors. Lesions were prevalently classified as type 2A, type 2B or type 1; an angiographic pattern compatible with the presence of an intimal tear (types 1 and 1/2) was more represented in males. Conclusion: Sex-related differences in clinical and angiographic characteristics could help in shedding light on mechanisms that contribute to SCAD.

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.
