The Impact of Intracoronary Imaging on PCI Outcomes in Cases Utilising Rotational Atherectomy: An Analysis of 8,417 Rotational Atherectomy Cases from the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society Database.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

There is increasing evidence supporting the use of intracoronary imaging to optimize the outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, there are no studies examining the impact of imaging on PCI outcomes in cases utilising rotational atherectomy (RA-PCI). Our study examines the determinants and outcomes of using intracoronary imaging in RA-PCI cases including 12-month mortality.

Methods

Using the British Cardiac Intervention Society database, data were analysed on all RA-PCI procedures in the UK between 2007 and 2014. Descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regressions were used to examine baseline, procedural, and outcome associations with intravascular imaging.

Results

Intracoronary imaging was used in 1,279 out of 8,417 RA-PCI
