Rotablation in complex ACS versus Non-ACS patients: Prospective follow up study from tertiary care centre in North India

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to compare short term outcome of rotablation in ACS versus non-ACS patients. 60 Consecutive patients who underwent rotational atherectomy were followed prospectively. The mean duration of follow up was 13.05 ± 5.2 months. The mean ejection fraction was 52.41% ± 9.4%. 45% patients had diagnosis of CSA and 55% were ACS. The mean syntax score was 29.23 ± 7.99. LAD was the most common vessel treated by RA in 76.6%. Rotablation of LM was done in 30%. IVUS guided procedure was done in 66.7%. RA can be done with comparable safety and success in both non-ACS and ACS patients.
