Sex differences in clinical outcomes after rotational atherectomy of calcified coronary stenoses: from multicenter registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent improvements in devices and medications may diminish the risk of adverse events following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in women. However, complex calcified coronary lesions are increasingly being encountered in clinical practice, which remain challenging for contemporary PCI. Rotational atherectomy (RA) of severely calcified lesions is an option that facilitates the technical success of PCI. We aimed to examine sex differences in long-term clinical prognoses after PCI with RA in the drug-eluting stent (DES) era.

Methods and results

We evaluated J2T ROTA registry data from 1,090 patients with severely calcified de novo coronary artery stenoses who underwent PCI using RA at 3 hospitals between 2004 and 2015. After excluding patients who received r
