Abstract
Background: Heavily calcified peripheral artery lesions increase the risk of vascular complications, constituting a severe challenge for the operator during catheter-based cardiovascular interventions. Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) technology disrupts subendothelial calcification by using localized pulsative sonic pressure waves and represents a promising technique for plaque modification in patients with severe calcification in peripheral arteries. Purpose: Our aim was to systematically review and summarize available data regarding the safety and efficacy of IVL in preparing severely calcified peripheral arteries and its use in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). Patients and methods: This study was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. We systematically searched PubMed, SCOPUS, and Cochrane databases from their inception to February 23, 2023, for studies assessing the characteristics and outcomes of patients undergoing IVL in the peripheral vasculature. The diameter of the vessel lumen before and after IVL was estimated. The occurrence of peri-procedural complications was assessed using a random-effects model. Results: 20 studies with a total of 1,223 patients with heavily calcified peripheral lesions were analysed. The mean age of the cohort was 70.6 ± 17.4 years. Successful IVL delivery achieved in 100% (95% CI: 100%-100%, I2 = 0%), with an increase in the luminal diameter (SMD: 4.66, 95% CI: 3.41-5.92, I2 = 90.8%) and reduction in diameter stenosis (SMD: -4.15, 95% CI: -4.75 to -3.55, I2 = 92.8%), and a concomitant low rate of complications. The procedure was free from dissection in 97% (95% CI: 91%-100%, I2 = 81.4%) while dissections of any type (A, B, C, or D) were observed in 6% (95% CI: 2%-10%, I2 = 85.3%) of the patients. Several rare cases of abrupt closure, no-reflow phenomenon, perforation, thrombus formation, and distal embolization were recorded. Finally, the subgroup analysis of patients who underwent a TAVI with IVL assistance presented successful implantation in 100% (95% CI: 100%-100%, I2 = 0%) of the cases, with only 4% (95% CI: 0%-12%, I2 = 68.96%) presenting dissections of any sort. Conclusions: IVL seems to be an effective and safe technique for modifying severely calcified lesions in peripheral arteries and it is a promising modality in TAVI settings. Future prospective studies are needed to validate our results.

Abstract
Background Calcified coronary lesions are a challenge for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). Coronary intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is a novel calcium modification technology approved for commercial use in February 2021, but little is known about its uptake in US clinical practice. Methods We described trends in use of calcium modification strategies, variation in use across hospitals, and predictors of calcium modification and IVL use in PCI. We included National Cardiovascular Data Registry CathPCI Registry patients who underwent PCI between April 1, 2018, and December 31, 2022. We examined trends and hospital variation in calcium modification and IVL use. We used multivariate hierarchical logistic regression to identify predictors of calcium modification and IVL use at hospitals in 2022. Results Of 2,733,494 PCIs across 1676 hospitals over 4.75 years, 11.4% were performed with calcium modification. Coronary IVL use increased rapidly from 0% of PCIs in Q4 2020 to 7.8% of PCIs in Q4 2022, which was accompanied by an overall increase in use of all calcium modification strategies (11.1%-16.0%) during this period with a slight corresponding decrease in coronary atherectomy use (5.4%-4.4%). In 2022, there was wide variation in IVL use across hospitals (median, 3.86%; IQR, 0%-8.19%), with IVL being the most common calcium modification strategy in 48% of hospitals. The treating hospital was the strongest predictor of calcium modification (median odds ratio [OR], 2.49; 95% CI, 2.40-2.57) and IVL use (median OR, 2.89; 95% CI, 2.74-3.04). Conclusions IVL has rapidly changed the landscape of calcium modification use for PCI, although there remains wide variation across hospitals.

Abstract
Severe coronary artery calcification, too often underestimated, increases the complexity of percutaneous coronary interventions. Atherectomy is one of preferred approach for the preparation of calcified lesions before stent placement. Orbital atherectomy is a new method that has proven to be safe and effective in the preparation of calcium plaques (ORBIT I and ORBIT II studies). The recent introduction in France allows to perform a prospective registry named REFORCE. Its main objective is to include 300 patients in order to evaluate security and safety of the device in France during routine use.

Abstract
The optimal approach to deal with severe coronary artery calcification (CAC) in people with diabetes remains ill-defined. People with diabetes have a significant risk of developing severe vessel calcification and coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD is the leading cause of death in people with diabetes. Individuals with diabetes mainly present with severe multivessel stenosis, diffuse coronary calcification, and severe atherosclerosis, which are poor prognostic factors of revascularization procedures. Studies have shown that the revascularization of arteries in people with diabetes often results in worse outcomes than in people without diabetes. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been recommended as the standard of care for people with DM and complex anatomic diseases, including left main CAD. However, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is more acceptable to patients in clinical practice because of decreased trauma and rapid recovery. Severe CAC has traditionally been challenging for PCI and a frequent indication for surgical revascularization. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of orbital atherectomy (OA) in improving PCI outcomes in patients with diabetes and identify possible adverse effects that preclude its use. The study is reported according to PRISMA and analyzed according to Cochrane guidelines on synthesis without meta-analysis. A comprehensive literature search of EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and MEDLINE was conducted for studies that utilized OA before PCI in people with diabetes. A reference list of the eligible articles was also screened. A narrative synthesis was done by representing the data on the effect direction plot, followed by vote counting. Eighteen studies were included in the analysis. Success rate/successful stent delivery was >90%, while freedom from angiographic complication and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) were both >80% on the effect direction plot for people with diabetes and those without diabetes. People with diabetes had low event rates similar to those without diabetes. OA appears to be a viable treatment approach for people with diabetes. However, RCTs with a longer duration of follow-up are required to establish the appropriate treatment strategy for severe CAC in people with diabetes.

Abstract
Since the publication of the 2015 EAPCI consensus on rotational atherectomy, the number of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) performed in patients with severely calcified coronary artery disease has grown substantially. This has been prompted on one side by the clinical demand for the continuous increase in life expectancy, the sustained expansion of the primary PCI networks worldwide, and the routine performance of revascularization procedures in elderly patients; on the other side, the availability of new and dedicated technologies such as orbital atherectomy and intravascular lithotripsy, as well as the optimization of the rotational atherectomy system, has increased operators' confidence in attempting more challenging PCI. This current EAPCI clinical consensus statement prepared in collaboration with the EURO4C-PCR group describes the comprehensive management of patients with heavily calcified coronary stenoses, starting with how to use non-invasive and invasive imaging to assess calcium burden and inform procedural planning. Objective and practical guidance is provided on the selection of the optimal interventional tool and technique based on the specific calcium morphology and anatomic location. Finally, the specific clinical implications of treating these patients are considered, including the prevention and management of complications and the importance of adequate training and education.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary calcifications represent a challenging subset for the interventional cardiologist performing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and are well-established risk factors for adverse outcomes. Adequate plaque modification prior to stent implantation is critical to achieve an optimal outcome following PCI. Recently, a novel orbital atherectomy device has been introduced into clinical practice to modify calcified plaques. We evaluated the mid-term safety and efficacy of OA in a high-risk "all-comers" population. METHODS We evaluated 96 consecutive patients with severely calcified coronary lesions who underwent PCI facilitated by the orbital atherectomy device. RESULTS In-hospital MACCE was 5.2% without target lesion revascularization. At 6-month follow-up, the MACCE rate was 10.4% with a concomitant TLR rate of 1%. CONCLUSIONS Our mid-term data showed good safety and efficacy of orbital atherectomy as a plaque-modifying tool in an all-comers cohort with severely calcified coronary lesions.

Abstract
The capacity of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) to wreak havoc on the inflammatory and coagulation pathways via the cytokine storm has led to over 6.3 million fatalities globally. Based on recent data, the mechanism predominately involves the formation of microvascular thrombosis when pertaining to cardiovascular disease. However, a subset of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)-positive patients present emergently with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are found to have severe epicardial thrombosis which is refractory to traditional coronary revascularization. We have noted mortality in these patients presenting to our facility to be as high as 90% and all angiographically confirmed to have thrombus which was refractory to traditional therapy. We present a case series of COVID-19-positive patients presenting with STEMI found to have epicardial thrombus who were treated with different traditional STEMI therapies but with fatal outcomes. Other possible techniques including mechanical thrombectomy, optimizing traditional and nontraditional anticoagulation therapy with the use of early hemodynamic support may prove more efficacious to destroy thrombus and potentially improve mortality.

Abstract
The amount of coronary calcium strongly correlates with the degree of atherosclerosis and, therefore, with the rate of future cardiac events. Calcified coronary lesions still represent a challenge for interventional cardiologists, bringing not only a higher risk of immediate complications during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), but also a higher risk of late stent failure due to under-expansion and/or malapposition, and therefore, have a relevant prognostic impact. Accurate identification of the calcified plaques together with the analysis of their distribution pattern within the vessel wall by intracoronary imaging is important to improve the successful treatment of these lesions. The aim of this review is to guide readers through the assessment of the calcified plaque distribution using intracoronary imaging in order to select the best devices and strategies for plaque debulking and lesion preparation.

Drug-coated balloon strategy following orbital atherectomy for calcified coronary artery compared with drug-eluting stent: One-year outcomes and optical coherence tomography assessment. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2023.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for calcified coronary artery remains challenging in the drug-eluting stent (DES) era. While recent studies reported the efficacy of orbital atherectomy (OA) combined with DES for calcified lesion, the effectiveness of drug-coated balloon (DCB) following OA has not been fully elucidated. METHODS Between June 2018 and June 2021, 135 patients who received PCI for calcified de novo coronary lesions with OA were enrolled and divided into two groups; OA followed by DCB (n = 43) if the target lesion achieved acceptable preparation, or second- or third-generation DESs (n = 92) if the target lesion showed suboptimal preparation between June 2018 and June 2021. All patients underwent PCI with optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging. The primary endpoint was 1-year major adverse cardiac event (MACE), that was a composite of cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or target lesion revascularization. RESULTS Mean age was 73 years and 82% was male. In OCT analysis, maximum calcium plaque was thicker (median: 1050 µm [interquartile range (IQR): 945-1175 µm] vs. 960 µm [808-1100 µm], p = 0.017), calcification arc tended to larger (median: 265° [IQR: 209-360°] vs. 222° [162-305°], p = 0.058) in patients with DCB than in DES, and the postprocedure minimum lumen area was smaller in DCB compared with minimum stent area in DES (median: 3.83 mm2 [IQR: 3.30-4.52 mm2 ] vs. 4.86 mm2 [4.05-5.82 mm2 ], p < 0.001). However, 1 year MACE free rate was not significantly different between 2 groups (90.3% in DCB vs. 96.6% in DES, log-rank p = 0.136). In the subgroup analysis of 14 patients who underwent follow-up OCT imaging, late lumen area loss was lower in patients with DCB than DES, despite lower lesion expansion rate in DCB than DES. CONCLUSIONS In calcified coronary artery disease, DCB alone strategy (if acceptable lesion preparation was performed with OA) was feasible compared with DES following OA with respect to 1-year clinical outcomes. Our finding indicated using DCB with OA might be reduce late lumen area loss for severe calcified lesion.

Abstract
The treatment of calcific coronary lesions is still a major interventional issue in haemodynamics laboratories. The prevalence of the disease is even increasing, considering the general ageing of the population undergoing coronarography, as well as the often associated comorbidities. In recent years, new devices have been developed that allow both better identification and also better treatment of these lesions. The aim of this review is to summarize both imaging modalities and dedicated techniques and materials, thus providing a kind of compendium for the treatment approach.

Effectiveness and Safety of Atherectomy versus Plain Balloon Angioplasty for Limb Salvage in Tibioperoneal Arterial Disease. J Vasc Interv Radiol 2023; 34:428-435. [PMID: 36442743 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvir.2022.11.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2022] [Revised: 11/02/2022] [Accepted: 11/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of atherectomy versus plain balloon angioplasty (POBA) for treatment of critical limb ischemia (CLI) due to tibioperoneal arterial disease (TPAD). MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients enrolled in the Vascular Quality Initiative registry who had CLI (Rutherford Class 4-6) and underwent atherectomy versus POBA alone for isolated TPAD were retrospectively identified. Of eligible patients, a cohort of 2,908 patients was propensity matched 1:1 by clinical and angiographic characteristics. The atherectomy group comprised 1,454 patients with 2,183 arteries treated, and the POBA group comprised 1,454 patients with 2,141 arteries treated. The primary study endpoint was major ipsilateral limb amputation. Secondary endpoints were minor ipsilateral amputations, any ipsilateral amputation, primary patency, target vessel reintervention (TVR), and wound healing at 12 months. RESULTS The median follow-up period was 507 days, the mean patient age was 69 years ± 11.7, and the mean occluded length was 6.9 cm ± 6.5. There was a trend toward higher technical success rates with atherectomy than with POBA (92.9% vs 91.0%, respectively; P = .06). The rates of major adverse events during the procedure were not significantly different. The 12-month major amputation rate was similar in the atherectomy and POBA groups (4.5% vs 4.6%, respectively; P = .92; odds ratio, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.68-1.37). There was no difference in 12-month TVR (17.9% vs 17.8%; P = .97) or primary patency (56.4% vs 54.5%; P = .64) between the atherectomy and POBA groups. CONCLUSIONS In a large national registry, treatment of CLI from TPAD using atherectomy versus POBA showed no significant differences in procedural adverse events, major amputations, TVR, or vessel patency at 12 months.

Abstract
Severe coronary artery calcification is one of the greatest challenges in attaining success in percutaneous coronary intervention, limiting acute and long-term results. In many cases, plaque preparation is a critical prerequisite for delivery of devices across calcific stenoses and also to achieve adequate luminal dimensions. Recent advances in intracoronary imaging and adjunctive technologies now allow the operator to select the most appropriate strategy in each individual case. In this review, we will revisit the distinct advantages of a complete assessment of coronary artery calcification with imaging and application of appropriate and contemporary plaque modification technologies in achieving durable results in this complex lesion subset.

Abstract
Balloon undilatable lesions are lesions that have been successfully crossed by both a guidewire and a balloon but cannot be expanded despite multiple high-pressure balloon inflations. Balloon undilatable lesions can be de novo or in-stent. We describe a systematic, algorithmic approach to treat both de novo and in-stent balloon undilatable lesions using various techniques, such as high-pressure balloon inflation, plaque modification balloons, intravascular lithotripsy, very high-pressure balloon inflation, coronary atherectomy, laser coronary angioplasty, and extraplaque lesion crossing. Knowledge of the various techniques can increase the efficiency, success and safety of the procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rotational and orbital coronary atherectomy (CA) are commonly utilized to treat complex calcified coronary lesions. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate sex differences in procedural complications and clinical outcomes after CA. METHODS PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases were searched for all studies comparing sex differences in procedural and clinical outcomes following CA. The outcomes of interest were procedural complications (coronary dissection, stroke, major bleeding, coronary perforation, cardiac tamponade, and slow or no flow in target vessel) and the clinical outcomes (including early mortality, mid-term all-cause mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization). Pooled risk ratios (RRs) with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using the Mantel-Haenszel random-effects model. RESULTS Six observational studies with 3517 patients (2420 men and 1035 women) were included in this meta-analysis. While there was no significant difference in the early mortality (RR, 1.14; 95% CI, 0.37-3.53; P = 0.83) between men and women, at a mean follow-up of 2.9 years, all-cause mortality was significantly higher in women (RR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.11-1.49; P = 0.0009). Women had an increased risk of procedure-related stroke (RR, 3.98; 95% CI, 1.06-14.90; P = 0.04), coronary dissection (RR, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.23-3.58; P = 0.006), and bleeding (RR, 2.26; 95% CI, 1.30-3.93; P = 0.004), whereas the rates of coronary perforation, cardiac tamponade, and the risk of slow or no flow in the revascularized artery were similar in both. CONCLUSION In our analysis, women undergoing CA are at increased risk of mid-term mortality and procedure-related complications including stroke, coronary dissection, and major bleeding.

Abstract
Coronary artery calcification is increasingly prevalent in our patient population. It significantly limits the procedural success of percutaneous coronary intervention and is associated with a higher risk of adverse cardiovascular events both in the short-term and long-term. There are several modalities for modifying calcified plaque, such as balloon angioplasty (including specialty balloons), coronary atheroablative therapy (rotational, orbital, and laser atherectomy), and intravascular lithotripsy. We discuss each modality’s relative advantages and disadvantages and the data supporting their use. This review also highlights the importance of intravascular imaging to characterize coronary calcification and presents an algorithm to tailor the calcium modification therapy based on specific coronary lesion characteristics.

Abstract
BackgroundSeverely calcified coronary lesions with reduced left ventricular (LV) function result in worse outcomes. Atherectomy is used in treating such lesions when technically feasible. However, there is limited data examining the safety and efficacy of atherectomy without hemodynamic support in treating severely calcified coronary lesions in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical outcomes of atherectomy in patient with reduced LVEF.MethodsWe searched PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL Register and ClinicalTrials.gov (inception through July 21, 2021) for studies evaluating the outcomes of atherectomy in patients with severe LV dysfunction. We used random-effect model to calculate risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). The endpoints were in-hospital and long term all-cause mortality, cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), and target vessel revascularization (TVR).ResultsA total of 7 studies consisting of 2,238 unique patients were included in the analysis. The median follow-up duration was 22.4 months. The risk of in-hospital all-cause mortality using atherectomy in patients with severely reduced LVEF compared to the patients with moderate reduced or preserved LVEF was [2.4vs.0.5%; RR:5.28; 95%CI 1.65–16.84; P = 0.005], the risk of long term all-cause mortality was [21 vs. 8.8%; RR of 2.84; 95% CI 1.16–6.95; P = 0.02]. In-hospital TVR risk was 2.0 vs. 0.6% (RR: 4.15; 95% CI 4.15–15.67; P = 0.04) and long-term TVR was [6.0 vs. 9.9%; RR of 0.75; 95% CI 0.39–1.42; P = 0.37]. In-hospital MI was [7.1 vs. 5.4%; RR 1.63; 95% CI 0.91–2.93; P = 0.10], long-term MI was [7.5 vs. 5.7; RR 1.74; 95%CI 0.95–3.18; P = 0.07).ConclusionOur meta-analysis suggested that the patients with severely reduced LVEF when using atherectomy devices experienced higher risk of clinical outcomes in the terms of all-cause mortality and cardiac mortality. As we know that the patients with severely reduced LVEF are inherently at increased risk of adverse clinical outcomes, this information should be considered hypothesis generating and utilized while discussing the risks and benefits of atherectomy in such high risk patients. Future studies should focus on the comparison of outcomes of different atherectomy devices in such patients. Adjusting for the inherent mortality risk posed by left ventricular dysfunction may be a strategy while designing a study.

Randomized evaluation of vessel preparation with orbital atherectomy prior to drug-eluting stent implantation in severely calcified coronary artery lesions: Design and rationale of the ECLIPSE trial. Am Heart J 2022; 249:1-11. [PMID: 35288105 DOI: 10.1016/j.ahj.2022.03.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2021] [Revised: 03/05/2022] [Accepted: 03/08/2022] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe coronary artery calcification has been associated with stent underexpansion, procedural complications, and increased rates of early and late adverse clinical events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. To date, no lesion preparation strategy has been shown to definitively improve outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention for calcified coronary artery lesions. STUDY DESIGN AND OBJECTIVES ECLIPSE (NCT03108456) is a prospective, randomized, multicenter trial designed to evaluate two different vessel preparation strategies in severely calcified coronary artery lesions. The routine use of the Diamondback 360 Coronary Orbital Atherectomy System is compared with conventional balloon angioplasty prior to drug-eluting stent implantation. The trial aims to enroll approximately 2000 subjects with a primary clinical endpoint of target vessel failure, defined as the composite of cardiac death, target vessel-related myocardial infarction, or ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization assessed at 1 year. The co-primary endpoint is the acute post-procedural in-stent minimal cross-sectional area as assessed by optical coherence tomography in a 500-subject cohort. Enrollment is anticipated to complete in 2022 with total clinical follow-up planned for 2 years. CONCLUSIONS ECLIPSE is a large-scale, prospective randomized trial powered to demonstrate whether a vessel preparation strategy of routine orbital atherectomy system is superior to conventional balloon angioplasty prior to implantation of drug-eluting stents in severely calcified coronary artery lesions.

Abstract
With the aging population, up to a third of patients referred for percutaneous
coronary intervention (PCI) have moderate or severe calcified lesions assessed
by coronary angiography. The presence of coronary calcium is associated with
difficult device delivery, sub-optimal stent deployment, and prolonged
procedures, with more complications. Furthermore, it is known that sub-optimal
stent expansion is associated with poor clinical outcomes. In this manuscript we
describe how to quantify the severity of coronary calcium, review the
armamentarium of contemporary devices available for calcium modification, and
provide a systematic approach to device selection, assessment of successful
calcium modification, and stent optimization.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Severe calcification is present in> 50% of coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) undergoing percutaneous intervention. We aimed to describe the contemporary use and outcomes of plaque modification devices (PMDs) in this context. METHODS Patients were included in the prospective, consecutive Iberian CTO registry (32 centers in Spain and Portugal), from 2015 to 2020. Comparison was performed according to the use of PMDs. RESULTS Among 2235 patients, wire crossing was achieved in 1900 patients and PMDs were used in 134 patients (7%), requiring more than 1 PMD in 24 patients (1%). The selected PMDs were rotational atherectomy (35.1%), lithotripsy (5.2%), laser (11.2%), cutting/scoring balloons (27.6%), OPN balloons (2.9%), or a combination of PMDs (18%). PMDs were used in older patients, with greater cardiovascular burden, and higher Syntax and J-CTO scores. This greater complexity was associated with longer procedural time but similar total stent length (52 vs 57mm; P=.105). If the wire crossed, the procedural success rate was 87.2% but increased to 96.3% when PMDs were used (P=.001). Conversely, PMDs were not associated with a higher rate of procedural complications (3.7 vs 3.2%; P=.615). Despite the worse baseline profile, at 2 years of follow-up there were no differences in the survival rate (PMDs: 94.3% vs no-PMDs: 94.3%, respectively; P=.967). CONCLUSIONS Following successful wire crossing in CTOs, PMDs were used in 7% of the lesions with an increased success rate. Mid-term outcomes were comparable despite their worse baseline profile, suggesting that broader use of PMDs in this setting might have potential technical and prognostic benefits.

Intravascular Lithotripsy for Treatment of Severely Calcified Coronary Lesions: 1-Year Results From the Disrupt CAD III Study. JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY FOR CARDIOVASCULAR ANGIOGRAPHY & INTERVENTIONS 2022; 1:100001. [PMID: 39130140 PMCID: PMC11308114 DOI: 10.1016/j.jscai.2021.100001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2021] [Revised: 11/08/2021] [Accepted: 11/11/2021] [Indexed: 08/13/2024]
Abstract
Background Coronary calcification impairs stent delivery and optimal expansion, a significant predictor of subsequent stent thrombosis and restenosis. Current calcium ablative technologies may be limited by guidewire bias and periprocedural complications. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) delivers acoustic pressure waves to modify calcium, enhance vessel compliance, and optimize stent deployment. The Disrupt CAD III study demonstrated high (92.4%) procedural success and low (7.8%) 30-day major adverse cardiac event (MACE) rates following IVL, but longer term follow-up is required to determine the durability of clinical benefit and the late impact of optimized stent implantation associated with IVL. This analysis evaluates 1-year outcomes from the Disrupt CAD III study. Methods Disrupt CAD III (NCT03595176) was a prospective, single-arm approval study designed to assess the safety and effectiveness of IVL as an adjunct to coronary stenting in de novo, severely calcified coronary lesions (n = 384). MACE was defined as the composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), or ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization; target lesion failure was defined as cardiac death, MI, or ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization (ID-TLR). Results At 1 year, MACE occurred in 13.8% of patients (cardiac death: 1.1%, MI: 10.5%, ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization: 6.0%) and target lesion failure occurred in 11.9% (ID-TLR: 4.3%), both driven by non-Q-wave MI (9.2%). Stent thrombosis (definite or probable) occurred in 1.1% of patients (including 1 event [0.3%] beyond 30 days). Conclusions Disrupt CAD III represents the largest long-term (1-year) analysis of coronary IVL to date. IVL treatment prior to coronary stent implantation in severely calcified lesions was associated with low 1-year rates of MACE, ID-TLR, and stent thrombosis.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:724481. [PMID: 34490380 PMCID: PMC8416910 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.724481] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2021] [Accepted: 07/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Previous understanding holds that rotational atherectomy and modified balloons remain the default strategy for severely calcified coronary stenoses. In recent years, coronary intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) provides new ideas. This study was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IVL for the treatment of severely calcified coronary stenoses. Methods: The serial Disrupt CAD trials (Disrupt CAD I, Disrupt CAD II, Disrupt CAD III, and Disrupt CAD IV) were included in this study. The safety endpoint was freedom from major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in hospital, at 30 days, and at 6 months following the index procedure. The efficacy endpoints included procedural success and angiographic success. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used to evaluate the mechanism of action of IVL quantifying the coronary artery calcification (CAC) characteristics and calcium plaque fracture. Results: We enrolled a total of 628 patients with a mean age of 71.8 years, 77.1% males. In these patients, the left anterior descending artery and right coronary artery were the most vulnerable vessels. The diameter stenosis was 64.6 ± 11.6% and the lesion length was 24.2 ± 11.4 mm. IVL had a favorable efficacy (93.0% procedural success, 97.5% angiographic success, and 100.0% stent delivery). Among the 628 patients, 568, 568, and 60 reported MACE endpoints in hospital, at 30 days, and at 6 months, respectively. The results showed that 528, 514, and 55 patients were free from MACE in hospital, at 30 days, and at 6 months, respectively. OCT measurements demonstrated that calcium fracture was the underlying mechanism of action for coronary IVL. Conclusions: IVL is safe and efficient for severely calcified coronary stenoses, and, importantly, calcium fracture facilitated increased vessel compliance and favorable stent expansion.

Abstract
Coronary artery calcifications are always challenging scenarios for interventional cardiologists. Calcium content in coronary tree directly correlates with male sex, age, Caucasian ethnicity, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease. Intracoronary imaging is useful and necessary to understand calcific lesion features and plan the best percutaneous coronary intervention strategy. Thus, accurate evaluation of patient and lesion characteristics is crucial. For this reason, definition of calcific arc, length, and thickness can suggest the best procedure before stenting and final optimization. In our modern era, different devices are available and all are surprisingly promising.

Abstract
With aging society, one of the more challenging obstacles in percutaneous coronary interventions are calcified coronary lesions. Calcified lesions may impede stent delivery, limit balloon and stent expansion, cause uneven drug distribution, and hinder wire advancement. Even in the setting of acceptable procedural success, vessel calcification is independently associated with increased target lesion revascularization rates at follow-up and lower survival rates. In order to effectively manage such lesions, dedicated technologies have been developed. Atherectomy aims at excising tissue and debulking plaques, as well as compressing and reshaping the atheroma, generally referred to as lesion preparation that enables further balloon and/or stent expansion in contemporary clinical practice. In the current review, we will discuss the available methods for atherectomy, including rotational, orbital, and excimer laser coronary atherectomy, as well as intravascular lithotripsy. In addition, we will review the role of imaging in calcified lesions.

Abstract
Calcified coronary artery bifurcation lesions (CBL) remain a challenge for the interventional cardiologist. Evidence regarding treatment of CBL is minimal. Optimal plaque modification is the most important step prior to stent deployment. Provisional stenting is the preferred strategy for most bifurcation lesions. However, two-stent strategy should be considered for BL with compromised large SB (>2.5 mm) supplying a large territory, >70% SB stenosis and lesions more than 5 mm long. In this contemporary review article, we present a simplified approach to treating CBL and demonstrate the approach to specific case examples using our newly developed mobile application, BifurcAID.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Our objective was to describe the contemporary outcomes of orbital atherectomy (OA) vs. rotational atherectomy (RA) use for inpatient percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the United States. Data on the use of OA vs. RA in contemporary inpatient PCI are limited. METHODS We queried the Nationwide Readmission Database (NRD) from January to November for the years 2016-2017 to identify hospitalizations of patients who underwent PCI with atherectomy. We conducted a multivariate regression analysis to identify variables associated with in-hospital mortality. RESULTS We included 77,040 records of patients who underwent inpatient PCI with atherectomy. Of those, 71,610 (93%) had RA, and 5430 (7%) had OA. There was no significant change in the trend of using OA or RA over 2016 and 2017. OA was less utilized in patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (4.3% vs. 46.8%, p < 0.001). In our cohort, OA was associated with lower in-hospital mortality (3.1% vs. 5%, p < 0.001) and 30-day urgent readmission (< 0.01% vs. 0.2%, p = 0.009), but a higher risk of coronary perforation (1.7% vs. 0.6%, p < 0.001) and cardiac tamponade (1% vs. 0.3%, p < 0.001) and a higher cost of index hospitalization ($28,199 vs. $23,188, p < 0.001) compared with RA. CONCLUSION RA remains the predominant atherectomy modality for inpatient PCI in the United States (93%). There was no change in the trend of use for either modality over the years 2016 and 2017. OA was noted to have a lower incidence of in-hospital death, but a higher risk of coronary perforation and a higher cost of index hospitalization for the overall unmatched cohorts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is one of the paramount hurdles for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) since it impedes stent delivery and complete expansion. This study intended to evaluate the short-term clinical and procedural outcomes comparing rotational atherectomy (RA) and orbital atherectomy (OA) in patients with heavily calcified coronary lesions undergoing PCI. Design: This systematic review and meta-analysis included all head-to-head published comparisons of coronary RA versus OA. Procedural endpoints and post-procedural clinical outcomes (30 days/in-hospital), were compared. RevMan 5.3 software was used for data analysis. Results: Seven retrospective observational investigations with a total of 4623 patients, including 3203 patients in the RA group and 1420 patients in the OA group, were incorporated. Compared with OA, the RA group was associated with a higher incidence of myocardial infarction at short-term follow-up (OR: 1.56, 95% CI: 1.07-2.29, p = .02, I2 = 0%). No difference was noted among other short-term post-procedural clinical outcomes including all-cause mortality, target vessel revascularization, or major adverse cardiac events. Among procedural complications, RA was associated with reduced coronary artery dissection and arterial perforation. Increased fluoroscopy time was observed in the RA cohort as compared with OA (MD: 4.78, 95% CI: 2.25-7.30, p = .0002, I2 = 80%). Conclusion: RA was associated with fewer vascular complications, but at a cost of higher incidence of myocardial infarction and higher fluoroscopy time compared with OA, at short term follow-up. OA is a safe and effective alternative for the management of CAC.

Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of severely calcified lesions is known to result in lower procedural success rates, higher complication rates, and worse long-term clinical outcomes compared to noncalcified lesions. Adequate lesion preparation through calcium modification is crucial in ensuring procedural success and reducing adverse cardiovascular outcomes. There are numerous calcium modification devices currently available whose usefulness depends on the nature of the calcific disease and its anatomical distribution. It can be challenging for the interventionists to decide which device is best suited for their patient. There is also emerging evidence for intravascular imaging in guiding selection of calcium modification devices using parameters such as calcium distribution and depth that directly impact on procedural success and clinical outcomes. In this review we aim to discuss the pathophysiology of coronary calcification, evaluate strategies and technologies of calcium modification and propose an A-M-A-S-A algorithm in managing calcified coronary lesions.

Orbital Atherectomy for Treatment of Severely Calcified Coronary Artery Bifurcation Lesions: A Multicenter Analysis. CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2020; 26:34-38.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD) has several treatment options, including angioplasty, stenting, exercise therapy, and bypass surgery. Atherectomy is an alternative procedure, in which atheroma is cut or ground away within the artery. This is the first update of a Cochrane Review published in 2014. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness of atherectomy for peripheral arterial disease compared to other established treatments. SEARCH METHODS The Cochrane Vascular Information Specialist searched the Cochrane Vascular Specialised Register, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and Allied and Complementary Medicine (AMED) databases, and the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform and ClinicalTrials.gov trials registers to 12 August 2019. SELECTION CRITERIA We included all randomised controlled trials that compared atherectomy with other established treatments. All participants had symptomatic PAD with either claudication or critical limb ischaemia and evidence of lower limb arterial disease. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors screened studies for inclusion, extracted data, assessed risk of bias and used GRADE criteria to assess the certainty of the evidence. We resolved any disagreements through discussion. Outcomes of interest were: primary patency (at six and 12 months), all-cause mortality, fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events, initial technical failure rates, target vessel revascularisation rates (TVR; at six and 12 months); and complications. MAIN RESULTS We included seven studies, with a total of 527 participants and 581 treated lesions. We found two comparisons: atherectomy versus balloon angioplasty (BA) and atherectomy versus BA with primary stenting. No studies compared atherectomy with bypass surgery. Overall, the evidence from this review was of very low certainty, due to a high risk of bias, imprecision and inconsistency. Six studies (372 participants, 427 treated lesions) compared atherectomy versus BA. We found no clear difference between atherectomy and BA for the primary outcomes: six-month primary patency rates (risk ratio (RR) 1.06, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.94 to 1.20; 3 studies, 186 participants; very low-certainty evidence); 12-month primary patency rates (RR 1.20, 95% CI 0.78 to 1.84; 2 studies, 149 participants; very low-certainty evidence) or mortality rates (RR 0.50, 95% CI 0.10 to 2.66, 3 studies, 210 participants, very low-certainty evidence). One study reported cardiac failure and acute coronary syndrome as causes of death at 24 months but it was unclear which arm the participants belonged to, and one study reported no cardiovascular events. There was no clear difference when examining: initial technical failure rates (RR 0.48, 95% CI 0.22 to 1.08; 6 studies, 425 treated vessels; very low-certainty evidence), six-month TVR (RR 0.51, 95% CI 0.06 to 4.42; 2 studies, 136 treated vessels; very low-certainty evidence) or 12-month TVR (RR 0.59, 95% CI 0.25 to 1.42; 3 studies, 176 treated vessels; very low-certainty evidence). All six studies reported complication rates (RR 0.69, 95% CI 0.28 to 1.68; 6 studies, 387 participants; very low-certainty evidence) and embolisation events (RR 2.51, 95% CI 0.64 to 9.80; 6 studies, 387 participants; very low-certainty evidence). Atherectomy may be less likely to cause dissection (RR 0.28, 95% CI 0.14 to 0.54; 4 studies, 290 participants; very low-certainty evidence) and may be associated with a reduction in bailout stenting (RR 0.26, 95% CI 0.09 to 0.74; 4 studies, 315 treated vessels; very low-certainty evidence). Four studies reported amputation rates, with only one amputation event recorded in a BA participant. We used subgroup analysis to compare the effect of plain balloons/stents and drug-eluting balloons/stents, but did not detect any differences between the subgroups. One study (155 participants, 155 treated lesions) compared atherectomy versus BA and primary stenting, so comparison was extremely limited and subject to imprecision. This study did not report primary patency. The study reported one death (RR 0.38, 95% CI 0.04 to 3.23; 155 participants; very low-certainty evidence) and three complication events (RR 7.04, 95% CI 0.80 to 62.23; 155 participants; very low-certainty evidence) in a very small data set, making conclusions unreliable. We found no clear difference between the treatment arms in cardiovascular events (RR 0.38, 95% CI 0.04 to 3.23; 155 participants; very low-certainty evidence). This study found no initial technical failure events, and TVR rates at six and 24 months showed little difference between treatment arms (RR 2.27, 95% CI 0.95 to 5.46; 155 participants; very low-certainty evidence and RR 2.05, 95% CI 0.96 to 4.37; 155 participants; very low-certainty evidence, respectively). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS This review update shows that the evidence is very uncertain about the effect of atherectomy on patency, mortality and cardiovascular event rates compared to plain balloon angioplasty, with or without stenting. We detected no clear differences in initial technical failure rates or TVR, but there may be reduced dissection and bailout stenting after atherectomy although this is uncertain. Included studies were small, heterogenous and at high risk of bias. Larger studies powered to detect clinically meaningful, patient-centred outcomes are required.

Abstract
Calcific coronary artery disease intervention is associated with uniformly worse short-term procedural and long-term clinical results compared with treatment of non-calcified lesions. Multiple intravascular imaging tools currently exist to aid the identification and detailed characterization of intracoronary calcium, and guide appropriate follow-on management strategies. Several unique device therapies, to include angioplasty, atherectomy, and lithotripsy may be employed to enhance lesion preparation, stent implantation and optimization, and improve patient outcomes. Current low use of both imaging and ablative technologies in the US offers significant future opportunities for improving the comprehensive evaluation and management of these complex lesion subsets and patients.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention in the diseased saphenous vein graft differs significantly from that in the diseased native coronary artery. After being exposed to arterial pressures over time, vein grafts have substantially different plaque characteristics, with more inflammatory cells, more diffuse disease, and less calcification. Severe calcification of saphenous vein grafts, although uncommon, poses a high risk of stent underexpansion. Orbital atherectomy for treatment of de novo calcified coronary lesions has been associated with better outcomes at 5-year follow-up. However, there are no published data on the use of orbital atherectomy to treat severely calcified saphenous vein graft lesions. We present the case of a 77-year-old woman with non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction who underwent successful orbital atherectomy to prepare a severely calcified saphenous vein graft lesion for stent implantation.

Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the context of heavily calcified coronary arteries can be challenging. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) has been suggested as an alternative to rotational atherectomy (RA). We report a case of stent under expansion, despite plaque modification using rotational atherectomy that was successfully managed with intravascular lithotripsy.

Abstract
Despite significant improvements in stent design, severe coronary calcification continues to impede adequate stent expansion and is associated with worse clinical outcomes. Angiography is limited in its ability to detect and comprehensively characterise calcified plaque. Intravascular imaging provides information on lesion morphology guiding appropriate treatment strategies. Orbital atherectomy allows for lesion preparation of severely calcified plaque prior to stent implantation. Utilising a unique mechanism of action incorporating centrifugal forces, a standard 1.25 mm eccentrically mounted and diamond-coated burr orbits bi-directionally to ablate calcified plaque. Lesion preparation with orbital atherectomy allows for modification of calcified plaque to facilitate stent expansion.

Abstract
Angiography remains a widely utilized imaging modality during vascular procedures. Angiography, however, has its limitations by underestimating the true vessel size, plaque morphology, presence of calcium and thrombus, plaque vulnerability, true lesion length, stent expansion and apposition, residual narrowing post intervention and the presence or absence of dissections. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has emerged as an important adjunctive modality to angiography. IVUS offers precise imaging of the vessel size, plaque morphology and the presence of dissections and guides interventional procedures including stent sizing, assessing residual narrowing and stent apposition and expansion. IVUS-guided treatment has shown to yield superior outcomes when compared to angiography-only guided therapy. The cost-effectiveness of the routine use of IVUS during vascular procedures needs to be further studied.

Abstract
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%; p = 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%; p = 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%; p = 0.122 and 28.2% vs. 19.6%; p = 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.

Abstract
Successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can be challenging in the presence of heavily calcified lesions. Severely calcified lesions are associated with worse clinical outcomes. Recognition of calcification is important before stenting to ensure adequate stent expansion can be attained. Orbital atherectomy is a safe and effective method to ablate calcified plaque. Lesion preparation through plaque modification with orbital atherectomy before stent implantation can help to optimize the results of PCI in these complex lesions.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Interventional cardiologists are increasingly being called upon to perform complex revascularization in patients who are deemed not to be candidates for surgical revascularization and, until recently, many of these patients would have only been offered medical management. Further, changing demographics have resulted in an increasingly elderly and frail population with diabetes and chronic kidney disease being referred for revascularization. Owing to the increasing prevalence of coronary artery calcification and the importance of achieving complete revascularization, advanced tools and techniques are required to safely revascularize this patient population. RECENT FINDINGS Coronary artery calcification is a marker for increased periprocedural complications and worse long-term outcomes in percutaneous intervention. Its presence may mandate advanced revascularization strategies to facilitate safe revascularization. Several studies have highlighted the importance of intracoronary imaging and there have been iterative changes and new devices that have been developed that can facilitate revascularization in the setting of significant coronary artery calcification. Successful coronary revascularization is increasingly dependent on the rational use of intraavascular imaging, specialized balloons and atherectomy to overcome complex coronary artery disease and calcification. A rational strategy for the safe use of advanced techniques and tools is presented here.

Abstract
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.
