"Comparative Outcomes of Rota Ablation in Calcific Coronary Lesions: Impact of SYNTAX Score, LV Dysfunction and Imaging vs. Non - Imaging-Guided PCI— A Single-Centre Experience from Central India"

Abstract

Introduction: Severe calcified coronary artery disease (CAD) complicates percutaneous 
coronary intervention (PCI) by limiting stent expansion, leading to suboptimal outcomes. 
Rotational atherectomy (RA) has been instrumental in treating calcified lesions, enhancing 
procedural success. Despite its widespread use, the impact of SYNTAX score, left ventricular 
dysfunction (LVF), and imaging guidance on outcomes of RA-PCI remains understudied, 
especially in low-income settings. This study aims to assess these factors in patients 
undergoing RA-PCI in Central India.
