RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The safety and efficacy of coronary orbital atherectomy (OA) for treatment of ostial lesions are not yet fully established. We sought to evaluate (OA) treatment of severely calcified ostial and non-ostial lesions. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of subjects treated with OA for severely calcified ostial and non-ostial lesions, at the Mount Sinai Medical Center, Miami Beach, Florida (MSMCMB) from January 2014 to September 2020, was completed. Study baseline characteristics, lesion and vessel characteristics, procedural outcomes, and in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were analyzed and compared. RESULTS: A total of 609 patients that underwent PCI with OA were identified. The majority of patients (81.9 %) had non-ostial lesions, while 16.6 % had ostial lesions (of which 2.8 % classified as aorto-ostial) and 1.5 % had unknown lesion anatomy. The mean age of the overall cohort was 74.0 ± 9.3 years, and 63.5 % were male. All patients received drug-eluting stent (DES) placement, and the overall freedom from MACE was 98.5 %, with no significant difference observed between the ostial and non-ostial groups. The freedom from cardiac death and MI was also similar between the two groups. There were low rates of bleeding complications and severe angiographic complications, and no persistent slow flow/no reflow was reported. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated no significant differences in in-hospital MACE outcomes between patients with ostial versus non-ostial lesions, indicating that OA is a safe and effective treatment option for both lesion types, including those classified as aorto-ostial.

BACKGROUND: Patients with aortic stenosis (AS) usually have concomitant calcified coronary artery disease (CAD) requiring atherectomy to improve lesion compliance and odds of successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, there is a paucity of data regarding PCI with or without atherectomy in patients with AS. METHODS: The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database was queried from 2016 through 2019 using ICD-10 codes to identify individuals with AS who underwent PCI with or without atherectomy (Orbital Atherectomy [OA], Rotational or Laser Atherectomy [non-OA]). Temporal trends, safety, outcomes, costs, and correlates of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were assessed using discharge weighted data. RESULTS: Hospitalizations of 45,420 AS patients undergoing PCI with or without atherectomy were identified and of those, 88.6 %, 2.3 %, and 9.1 % were treated with PCI-only, OA, or non-OA, respectively. There was an increase in PCIs (8855 to 10,885), atherectomy [OA (165 to 300) and non-OA (795 to 1255)], and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) use (625 to 1000). The median cost of admission was higher in the atherectomy cohorts ($34,340.77 in OA, $32,306.2 in non-OA) as compared to the PCI-only cohort ($23,683.98). Patients tend to have decreased odds of MACE with IVUS guided atherectomy and PCI. CONCLUSIONS: This large database revealed a significant increase in PCI with or without atherectomy in AS patients from 2016 to 2019. Considering the complex comorbidities of AS patients, the overall complication rates were well distributed among the different cohorts, suggesting that IVUS guided PCI with or without atherectomy in patients with AS is feasible and safe.

OBJECTIVES: Orbital atherectomy (OA) has been shown to be safe and effective in patients with severe calcific coronary artery disease; however, there is a paucity of data on OA use in patients with concomitant severe aortic stenosis (AS). METHODS: A retrospective analysis of consecutive patients undergoing coronary OA treatment of severely calcified lesions, from January 2014 to September 2020 at the Mount Sinai Medical Center, Miami Beach, Florida (MSMCMB), was completed. Data were analyzed to assess rates of angiographic complications, successful stent placement, and in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE; defined as the composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, ischemic cerebrovascular accident [CVA], and hemorrhagic CVA) in AS vs non-AS patients. RESULTS: A total of 609 patients underwent OA; of those, 32 (5.3%) had severe AS. The AS patient cohort was significantly older (80.3 years vs 73.7 years; P<.001), with a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic or Latino individuals (75% vs 56.5%; P=.04) and lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (64.6 mL/min/1.73 m² vs 76.6 mL/min/1.73 m²; P =.03) than the non-AS cohort. Angiographic complication rates were similar and both groups resulted in 100% successful stent placement. There was no difference in MACE rates between the AS and non-AS cohorts (3.1% vs 1.4%; P=.39). CONCLUSIONS: This study represents the largest real-world comparison of OA use in AS vs non-AS patients. OA appears feasible, safe, and effective prior to stent placement in patients with severe AS. Prospective randomized trials are needed to determine the ideal revascularization strategy for AS patients.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of coronary orbital atherectomy (OA) for the treatment of calcified ostial lesions. BACKGROUND: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is increasingly being completed in complex patients and lesions. OA is effective for severely calcified coronary lesions; however, there is a dearth of evidence on the use of OA in ostial lesions, especially with long-term outcome data. METHODS: Data were obtained from a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent OA of heavily calcified ostial lesions followed by stent implantation from December 2010 to June 2019 at two high-volume PCI centers. Kaplan-Meier analysis was utilized to assess the primary endpoints of 30-day, 1-year, and 2-year freedom-from (FF) major adverse cardiac events (MACE: death, myocardial infarction, or target vessel revascularization), stroke, and stent thrombosis (ST). RESULTS: A total of 56 patients underwent OA to treat heavily calcified ostial coronary lesions. The mean age was 72 years with a high prevalence of diabetes (55%) and heart failure (36%), requiring hemodynamic support (14%). There was high FF angiographic complications (93%), and at 30-day, 1-year, and 2-year, a high FF-MACE (96%, 91%, and 88%), stroke (98%, 96%, and 96%), and ST (100%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: This study represents the largest real-world experience of coronary OA use in heavily calcified ostial lesions with long-term outcomes over 2 years. The main finding in this retrospective analysis is that, despite the complex patients and lesions included in this analysis, OA appears to be a feasible and safe treatment option for calcified coronary ostial lesions.

OBJECTIVES: To assess coronary orbital atherectomy (OA) use in Hispanic or Latino (HL) patients compared to non-HL patients. BACKGROUND: HL patients are at greater risk of cardiovascular disease mortality compared with Whites with similar coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores. The safety and efficacy of coronary atherectomy in the HL patient population is unknown due to the under-representation of minorities in clinical trial research. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of consecutive patients undergoing coronary OA treatment of severely calcified lesions at the Mount Sinai Medical Center, Miami Beach, Florida (MSMCMB) was completed. From January 2014 to September 2020, a total of 609 patients from MSMCMB who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention with OA were identified in the electronic health records. RESULTS: Of those identified, 350 (57.5%) had an ethnicity classification of HL. The overall mean age was 74 years and there was a high prevalence of diabetes in the HL group compared to the non-HL group (49.7% vs. 34.7%; p = 0.0003). Severe angiographic complications were uncommon and in-hospital freedom from major adverse cardiac events (MACE), a composite of cardiac death, MI, and stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic cerebrovascular accidents), was 98.5% overall, with no significant difference between the HL and non-HL groups, despite the higher prevalence of diabetes in the HL group. CONCLUSIONS: This study represents the largest real-world experience of OA use in HL versus non-HL patients. The main finding in this retrospective analysis is that OA can be performed safely and effectively in a high-risk population of HL patients.

Effective treatment strategies and medical devices continue to be needed in Japan and the United States of America (US) to mitigate the growing burden of cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease. Unfortunately, there can be a delay in gaining cardiovascular device approval in Japan after a device has already been approved and is in use in the US. The Harmonization by Doing (HBD) program; however, can eliminate this delay and reduce the cost of completing a clinical trial in Japan. The HBD proof-of-concept study, COAST, resulted in approval of the Diamondback 360® Coronary Orbital Atherectomy System Micro Crown simultaneously in Japan and the US on the same day. Subsequently, the Diamondback 360® Coronary OAS Classic Crown also received approval in Japan. The COAST study provides further evidence that global clinical trials via HBD for medical devices are practical and advantageous.

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD), often with severe calcification, is present in up to 75% of patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) referred for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Management of CAD in such patients is challenging. Orbital atherectomy (OA) is an effective treatment of severely calcified coronary lesions prior to stent implantation. However, there is limited data on the use of OA for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to treat calcific CAD patients prior to TAVR (OA PCI + TAVR). METHODS: Retrospective analysis of patients with moderate/severe calcific CAD and moderate/severe AS who underwent staged OA PCI + TAVR at one high-volume institution. Data were analyzed to assess the 1-year major adverse cardiac events after index OA PCI [MACE: death, target lesion revascularization (TLR), and myocardial infarction (MI)]. RESULTS: There were 18 patients (mean age of 82) treated with staged OA PCI + TAVR, and of those, 10 (56%) were male, 7 (39%) Caucasian, and 11 (61%) Hispanic/Latino. The average left ventricular ejection fraction was 49% and congestive heart failure was present in 12 patients (67%). There were no angiographic complications (0%), stent thrombosis (0%), or stroke events (0%). The 30-day and 1-year MACE rates were 5.6% (0% death, 0% TLR, 5.6% MI) and 17% (0% death, 11% TLR, and 17% MI [all non-Q-wave MI]), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: In this single-center observational cohort series, patients with heavily calcified coronary lesions treated with OA prior to TAVR had low rates of MACE at 30 days and 1 year. The results demonstrate the feasibility and safety of OA for the treatment of complex calcific coronary lesions prior to TAVR. An up-to-date literature review of atherectomy before, during, or after TAVR in patients with concomitant severe AS and calcific CAD is also provided. TABLE OF CONTENTS SUMMARY: There is limited data on the use of orbital atherectomy (OA) for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to treat calcific coronary artery disease (CAD) patients prior to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Our primary aim was to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and 1-year outcome of OA PCI pre-TAVR in patients with complex CAD and severe aortic stenosis (AS). We also aimed to provide a brief up-to-date literature review of atherectomy before, during, or after TAVR in patients with concomitant severe AS and calcific CAD. This retrospective cohort study found that OA is feasible and safe for the treatment of severely calcified coronary lesions before TAVR, resulting in acceptable 30-day and 1-year outcomes.

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: There is limited data available on atherectomy usage in hospitals or centers without on-site surgical backup. The purpose of this retrospective analysis was to gain further knowledge by analyzing the in-hospital and 30-day outcomes of complex PCI patients (including diabetics) treated with coronary orbital atherectomy (OA) at centers without on-site surgical back-up. METHODS/MATERIALS: All comers treated with OA at two centers without on-site surgical backup were included. Baseline, procedure, and outcome data were compared in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. The impact of transfemoral (TFA) versus transradial (TRA) vascular access was also assessed. RESULTS: Of the 221 patients treated with OA, 43% were diabetics. The diabetes and no-diabetes groups had similar baseline demographic and lesion characteristics, except for the higher rate of chronic kidney disease seen in the diabetics. Overall, there was a high freedom from major adverse cardiac events (MACE; in-hospital: 99.5%; 30-day: 98.6%), as well as a high success in stent delivery (99.5%) and procedural success (97.3%). The rate of angiographic complications was low in both the diabetes and no-diabetes groups (3.1% vs. 1.6%, p = 0.450). TFA and TRA were used in 36% and 64% of the patients, respectively-resulting in low angiographic complications in both groups (3.8% vs. 1.4%, p = 0.263). CONCLUSIONS: Despite the complexity of patient co-morbidities and the presence of heavily calcified lesions, the results indicate that coronary OA can be used safely and effectively without on-site surgical back-up. OA treatment resulted in a high rate of successful stent delivery and procedural success, as well as low rates of angiographic complications and MACE, in diabetic and non-diabetic patients, regardless of access site.

OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of orbital atherectomy (OA) for the treatment of severely calcified coronary artery bifurcation lesions. BACKGROUND: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of severely calcified coronary artery lesions is associated with lower procedural success and higher rates of target lesion failure compared to non-calcified lesions. OA is an effective treatment for calcified coronary artery lesions prior to stent implantation. However, there is little data regarding the safety and efficacy of OA in patients with coronary artery bifurcation lesions. METHODS: Data were obtained from analysis of patients with severe coronary artery calcification who underwent OA and coronary stent implantation at ten high-volume institutions. Data were pooled and analyzed to assess peri-procedural outcomes and 30-day major adverse cardiac events (MACE). RESULTS: A total of 1156 patients were treated with OA and PCI. 363 lesions were at a coronary artery bifurcation. There were no statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics between the bifurcation and non-bifurcation groups. In the bifurcation group, treatment involved the left anterior descending artery and its branches more frequently and right coronary artery less frequently. After propensity score matching, the 30-day freedom from MACE was not statistically significant between the two groups. CONCLUSION: In this multicenter cohort analysis, patients with severely calcified coronary bifurcation lesions had low rates of MACE and target vessel revascularization at 30 days at rates comparable to non-bifurcation lesions. This analysis demonstrates that OA is safe and effective for complex coronary lesions at both bifurcation and non-bifurcation locations.

BACKGROUND: Significant geographical variations exist in amputation rates and utilization of diagnostic and therapeutic vascular procedures before lower extremity amputations in the United States. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rates of diagnostic and therapeutic vascular procedures in the year prior to amputation in a contemporary population and correlate with pathological findings of the amputation specimens. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted of non-traumatic amputations from 2011 to 2017 at a rural community hospital. We reviewed the proportion of patients undergoing diagnostic (ankle brachial index with duplex ultrasound, computerized tomography angiogram and invasive angiogram) and therapeutic (endovascular and surgical revascularization) vascular procedures in the year prior to amputation. Prevalence of tissue viability and osteomyelitis were evaluated in all amputated specimens and atherosclerotic vascular disease (ASVD) was evaluated in major amputations. We also analyzed primary amputation rates among different subgroups. RESULTS: 698 patients were included with 248 (36%) major amputations and 450 (64%) minor amputations. Any diagnostic procedure was performed in 59% of the major amputations and 49% of the minor amputations (P = 0.01). Any therapeutic revascularization procedure was performed in 34% of the major amputations and 28% of the minor amputations (P = 0.08). The pathology of major amputation specimens revealed severe ASVD in 57% and mild-moderate ASVD in 27% of specimens. Tissue viability was significantly higher in major amputations (90% vs 30%, P = 0.04) and osteomyelitis was significantly higher in minor amputations (50% vs 14%, P = 0.03). Primary amputations were performed in 66% of major amputations, 72% of minor amputations, 81% with mild to moderate ASVD and 54% with severe ASVD. CONCLUSION: Diagnostic and therapeutic vascular procedures appear under-utilized for patients undergoing lower extremity amputations at a rural community hospital. ASVD rates and tissue viability imply that revascularization could be of significant benefit to avoid major amputation.

The current standard of care for the treatment of flow-limiting calcific iliac artery disease is balloon angioplasty and subsequent stent placement. However, the presence of calcified lesions may prevent adequate stent expansion or impede the delivery of large bore devices, such as those for transcatheter aortic valve replacement or endovascular aneurysm repair implants. Plaque modification through vessel preparation with orbital atherectomy may enable stent expansion and subsequent proper large device delivery with low rates of procedural complications. A retrospective, single center, case series of 13 subjects treated with orbital atherectomy in iliac arteries to enable large bore device delivery was conducted. Patients were selected for treatment based on iliac artery disease or inability to deliver devices. The procedural complication rate was defined as the composite of flow-limiting dissection, perforation, slow flow, vessel closure, spasm, embolism, and thrombosis. Technical success was assessed as angiographic luminal gain and subsequent successful delivery of large bore devices through the treatment area, as well as freedom from procedural complications. Orbital atherectomy vessel preparation of severely calcified iliac artery lesions resulted in adequate stent expansion safely and enabled delivery of rigid/large profile devices. Further studies are warranted to evaluate patient selection criteria, as well as long-term efficacy and safety rates of orbital atherectomy in the iliac artery.
RESUMO
This review is intended to help clinicians and patients understand the present state of peripheral artery disease, appreciate the progression and presentation of critical limb ischemia/chronic limb-threatening ischemia, and make informed decisions regarding inflow and outflow endovascular revascularization and surgical treatment options within the context of current debates in the medical community. A controlled literature search was performed to obtain research on outcomes of critical limb ischemia patients undergoing complete leg revascularization for peripheral artery disease inflow and outflow disease. Data for this review were identified by queries of medical and life science databases, expert referral, and references from relevant papers published between 1997 and 2019, resulting in 48 articles. The literature review herein indicates that endovascular revascularization-including ballooning, stenting, and atherectomy-is an effective peripheral artery disease therapy for both above the knee and below the knee disease, and can safely and effectively treat both inflow and outflow disease. As such, it plays a leading role in the therapy of lower extremity artery disease.
RESUMO
Purpose: To examine whether the combination of orbital atherectomy (OA) and drug-coated balloons (DCB) can lead to superior procedural and 2-year outcomes compared with DCB only in heavily calcified femoropopliteal (FP) lesions. Materials and Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted to identify patients treated with DCB only or OA+DCB for de novo FP lesions at a single center over a 4-year period (2014-2017). In the observation period, 113 patients met the inclusion criteria: 63 treated with DCB only (mean age 69.0±8.6 years; 62 men) vs 50 treated with OA+DCB (mean age 70.3±7.1 years; 48 men). The OA+DCB group had higher calcification rates (78% with severe calcification vs 37% in the DCB only group). Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to adjust for baseline differences between the 2 groups. Cox regression analysis was used to compare the follow-up outcomes between lesions treated with OA+DCB vs DCB only. Results: No difference in procedural complications or success was found. After PSM adjustment, the OA+DCB group was associated with lower bailout stenting rates (39.4% vs 66.7% in the DCB only group; p=0.026). The 2 groups had similar long-term outcomes, although the OA+DCB arm had a trend toward reduced TLR rates that did not reach statistical significance. The Kaplan-Meier estimates for 2-year freedom from TLR were 76.1% for the OA+DCB group vs 55.5% for the DCB only group (p=0.109). Conclusion: OA+DCB is a safe and effective combination for the treatment of calcified FP lesions. The combined therapy decreased the bailout stenting rates in the adjusted analysis. Larger cohorts and randomized trials are needed to examine OA efficacy in FP lesions.

Despite recent guideline updates on peripheral artery disease (PAD) and critical limb ischemia (CLI) treatment, the optimal treatment for CLI is still being debated. As a result, care is inconsistent, with many CLI patients undergoing an amputation prior to what many consider to be mandatory: consultation with an interdisciplinary specialty care team and a comprehensive imaging assessment. More importantly, quality imaging is critical in CLI patients with below-the-knee disease. Therefore, the CLI Global Society has put forth an interdisciplinary expert recommendation for superselective digital subtraction angiography (DSA) that includes the ankle and foot in properly indicated CLI patients to optimize limb salvage. A recommended imaging algorithm for CLI patients is included.

BACKGROUND: Orbital atherectomy (OA) is an effective method of lesion preparation of severely calcified vessels prior to stent deployment. Long calcified lesions may lead to higher risk of post-procedural complications, yet the optimal treatment strategy has not been established. In this study we sought to determine the safety and efficacy of OA in patients with long (≥25-40â¯mm) calcified target lesions. METHODS: ORBIT II was a single-arm trial that enrolled 443 patients at 49 U.S. sites. De novo, severely calcified coronary lesions were treated with OA prior to stenting. Patients treated with the OA device were stratified into two groups according to target lesion length as visually estimated by the investigator: those with short (<25â¯mm; Nâ¯=â¯314) vs. long (≥25-40â¯mm; Nâ¯=â¯118) lesions. Lesions >40â¯mm were excluded per protocol. The primary endpoint was the 3-year major adverse cardiac event (MACE) rate, defined as a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), and target vessel revascularization (TVR). RESULTS: The 3-year MACE rates in patients with short (<25â¯mm) vs. long (≥25-40â¯mm) lesions were 21.1% vs. 29.9% respectively (pâ¯=â¯0.055). The rate of cardiac death (6.5% vs. 7.8%, pâ¯=â¯0.592) and TVR (8.5% vs. 13.7%, pâ¯=â¯0.153) did not significantly differ. The rate of MI (CK-MBâ¯>â¯3× ULN) at 3â¯years was significantly higher in patients with long (≥25-40â¯mm) lesions (9.0% vs. 17.0%, pâ¯=â¯0.024), with the majority occurring in-hospital (7.0% vs. 13.6%, pâ¯=â¯0.037). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with long (≥25-40â¯mm) calcified target lesions had similar outcomes in terms of MACE at 3â¯years despite higher rates of MI, which mostly occurred in-hospital. Using the more contemporary SCAI definition of MI, there was no significant difference in rates of MI between the short (<25â¯mm) and long (≥25-40â¯mm) groups. Further studies are warranted to determine how OA compares to focal force balloon angioplasty, rotational atherectomy and other novel treatment options for long severely calcified lesions. SUMMARY FOR ANNOTATED TABLE OF CONTENTS: Percutaneous coronary intervention of long calcified lesions is inherently more complex and higher risk and may require more intensive lesion preparation. This sub-analysis of ORBIT II revealed that orbital atherectomy treatment of longer (≥25-40â¯mm) lesions was associated with a higher rate of MACE at 30â¯days, but not at 3â¯years. This difference, however, was driven primarily by a higher in-hospital non-Q-wave MI rate; using the more contemporary SCAI definition of MI, there was no significant difference in rates of MI between the short (<25â¯mm) and long (≥25-40â¯mm) groups.

BACKGROUND: High-risk patients with advanced peripheral artery disease (PAD), including critical limb ischemia (CLI), are often excluded from peripheral endovascular device intervention clinical trials, leading to difficulty in translating trial results into real-world practice. There is a need for prospectively assessed studies to evaluate peripheral endovascular device intervention outcomes in CLI patients. METHODS: LIBERTY 360 is a prospective, observational, multi-center study designed to evaluate the procedural and long-term clinical outcomes of peripheral endovascular device intervention in real-world patients with symptomatic lower-extremity PAD. One thousand two hundred and four patients were enrolled and stratified based on Rutherford Classification (RC): RC2-3 (N=501), RC4-5 (N=603), and RC6 (N=100). For this sub-analysis, RC5 and RC6 patients (RC5-6; N=404) were pooled and 1-year outcomes were assessed. RESULTS: Procedural complications rarely (1.7%) resulted in post-procedural hospitalization and 89.1% of RC5-6 patients were discharged to home. Considering the advanced disease state in RC5-6 patients, there was a high freedom from 1-year major adverse event rate of 65.5% (defined as target vessel revascularization, death to 30 days, and major target limb amputation). At 1 year, freedom from major amputation was 89.6%. Wounds identified at baseline on the target limb had completely healed in 172/243 (70.8%) of the RC5-6 subjects by 1 year. Additionally, the overall quality of life, as measured by VascuQoL, improved from baseline to 1 year. CONCLUSION: LIBERTY investigated real-world PAD patients with independent oversight of outcomes. This analysis of LIBERTY RC5-6 patients demonstrates that peripheral endovascular device intervention can be successful in CLI patients, with low rates of major amputation and improvement in wound healing and quality of life through 1-year follow-up.LIBERTY 360, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01855412, ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01855412.

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery calcification remains a significant challenge to successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Orbital atherectomy (OA) is an effective treatment for severely calcified coronary artery lesions during PCI, but few data are available in the Veterans Affairs (VA) system which has an increasingly complex subset of patients. METHODS: Data were obtained from retrospective analysis of patients with severe coronary artery calcification who underwent OA followed by stent implantation from February of 2015 to July of 2018 at a single VA Medical Center. Kaplan-Meier analysis was utilized to assess the primary endpoints of 30-day and 1-year freedom from major adverse cardiac events [MACE: Cardiac Death, myocardial infarction (MI), or target vessel revascularization (TVR)]. RESULTS: Among 151 patients, baseline comorbidities included diabetes (57%), prior PCI (51%), congestive heart failure (36.4%), and prior coronary artery bypass grafting (23.2%). The most common indication for intervention was stable angina (54.3%). Seventeen percent of cases required hemodynamic support. Angiographic complication rates were low. Overall freedom from MACE was 96% at 30â¯days and 87.7% at 1â¯year. CONCLUSION: This single-center VA cohort demonstrates that patients with severely calcified and anatomically complex coronary artery lesions treated with OA had a low rate of angiographic complications and a high rate of one-year freedom from MACE. Moreover, this study included demographics underrepresented in clinical trials, including those with acute myocardial infarction, left main coronary artery disease, and bifurcation lesions.

BACKGROUND: Direct stenting offers many potential advantages in appropriately selected lesions. Coronary artery calcification increases the complexity and risk of adverse events associated with percutaneous coronary intervention. This study aimed to examine the feasibility of direct stenting after treatment with orbital atherectomy (OA). METHODS: ORBIT II was a single-arm trial enrolling 443 subjects with de novo severely calcified coronary lesions treated with OA; direct stenting was utilized in 59.0% of cases. Procedural outcomes and 3-year major adverse cardiac event (MACE) rates were compared in subjects treated with pre-stent balloon dilatation versus direct stenting after OA. RESULTS: Procedural success (84.2% vs. 93.3%; pâ¯=â¯0.004) was significantly higher in the direct stenting cohort. 3-year MACE occurred less frequently in the direct stenting cohort (29.9% vs. 19.1%; pâ¯=â¯0.006), driven by lower rates of myocardial infarction and target lesion revascularization. In a propensity matched analysis, procedural success and 3-year MACE rates were similar in the pre-stent balloon dilatation and direct stenting groups (85.0% vs. 91.8%; pâ¯=â¯0.122 and 28.2% vs. 19.6%; pâ¯=â¯0.078, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Orbital atherectomy facilitates direct stenting and is associated with high procedural success and favorable 3-year outcomes in carefully selected patients. Randomized studies are needed to assess the optimal strategy after lesion preparation with OA.

PURPOSE: To report the 1-year results of a multicenter study of peripheral artery disease (PAD) treatment with a variety of endovascular treatment strategies employed in routine practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The LIBERTY trial ( ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01855412) is a prospective, observational, core laboratory-assessed, multicenter study of endovascular device intervention in 1204 subjects (mean age 69.8±10.7 years; 770 men) stratified by Rutherford category (RC): claudicants (RC2,3; n=501) and critical limb ischemia (CLI) with no/minimal tissue loss (RC4,5; n=603) or significant tissue loss (RC6; n=100). Key outcomes included quality of life (QoL) measures (VascuQol and EuroQol) and freedom from major adverse events (MAE), defined as death (within 30 days), major amputation, and target vessel revascularization based on Kaplan-Meier analysis. RESULTS: Successful revascularization was beneficial, with RC improvement noted across all groups. Thirty-day freedom from MAE estimates were high across all groups: 99.2% in RC2,3, 96.1% in RC4,5, and 90.8% in RC6. At 12 months, the freedom from MAE was 82.6% in RC2,3, 73.2% in RC4,5, and 59.3% in RC6 patients. Estimates for freedom from major amputation at 12 months were 99.3%, 96.0%, and 81.7%, respectively. QoL scores improved significantly across all domains in all groups with 12-month VascuQol total scores of 5.3, 5.0, and 4.8 for RC2,3, RC4,5, and RC6, respectively. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that peripheral endovascular intervention is a viable treatment option for RC2,3, RC4,5, and RC6 patients as evidenced by the high freedom from major amputation, as well as the improvement in QoL and the RC at 12 months. Furthermore, primary unplanned amputation is often not necessary in RC6.

OBJECTIVES: The Multi-center Prospective Study to Evaluate Outcomes of Moderate to Severely Calcified Coronary Lesions (MACE-Trial) was designed to provide further insight on the impact of calcification on procedural and long-term percutaneous coronary intervention outcomes. BACKGROUND: Prior studies evaluating the impact of lesion calcification on percutaneous coronary intervention outcomes are limited by: retrospective nature, pooled data from multiple studies, or lack of specificity around calcification with only operator assessment and without core lab evaluation. METHODS: The MACE-Trial was a prospective, multicenter, observational clinical study that enrolled 350 subjects at 33 sites from September 2013 to September 2015. Core lab assessed subject stratification by lesion calcification (none/mild [N = 133], moderate [N = 99], and severe [N = 114]). Endpoints were lesion success, procedural success, and 1-year major adverse cardiac events (MACEs). RESULTS: Presence of severe calcification had significant impact on lesion success ([83.3%] versus none/mild calcification [94.7%, P = 0.006]) and procedural success ([86.8%] versus moderate [95.0%, P = 0.028], and none/mild [97.7%, P = 0.001]). 1-year MACE rates were associated with presence of calcification in subjects with none/mild (4.7%), moderate (8.7%), and severe (24.4%) (P < 0.001) calcification; however, no difference was noted between none/mild and moderate (P = 0.237). The risk adjusted multivariable model identified severe calcification and decreasing eGFR as predictors of 30-day and 1-year MACE. CONCLUSIONS: In this prospective study, patients with severe calcification had significantly worse outcomes compared to those without; however, unlike previous retrospective studies, moderate calcium resulted in similar outcomes as none/mild calcium.
