Fernandez CM, Shroff AR, Vidovich MI. Interventional cardiologist perceptions about PCI without surgical backup-Results of an international survey. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2024; 103:20-29.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) without surgical backup is becoming increasingly common in the United States. Additionally, a recent SCAI expert consensus document has liberalized recommendations for performing PCI without cardiac surgery on site (SOS). AIMS The current study sought to understand practice patterns and operator preferences with regard to performing PCI without SOS. METHODS Two internet-based surveys were distributed to interventional cardiologists worldwide. Survey items asked about operator demographics, procedural preferences when performing PCI without SOS, self-judged personality traits, and history of malpractice. RESULTS Between March 2021 and May 2021, 517 interventional cardiologists completed the survey; 341 of whom perform elective PCI without SOS (no-SOS operators), and 176 who perform elective PCI with surgical backup (SOS operators). Most operators were male 473 (91.5%). There was a greater proportion of SOS operators in academic practice (86 vs. 75, p < 0.001) and greater proportion of no-SOS operators in hospital-owned practices (158 vs. 56, p < 0.001). Lesion characteristics (left main, chronic total occlusions, and need for atherectomy) were the most important procedural attributes for no-SOS operators, and international operators reported higher comfort levels with PCI on high-risk lesions. Cumulative personality profile scores were similar between SOS and no-SOS operators. SOS operators expressed more concern with legal ramifications of performing PCI without SOS (2.57 vs. 2.34, p = 0.049). CONCLUSIONS In the absence of surgical backup, lesion characteristics were the most important consideration for PCI patient selection for operators worldwide. Compared to the United States, international operators were more confident in performing high-risk PCI without surgical backup.

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.

Characteristics and Outcomes of Patients Who Underwent Coronary Atherectomy in Centers With and Without On-Site Cardiac Surgery. Am J Cardiol 2023; 204:242-248. [PMID: 37556893 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2023.07.073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2023] [Revised: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/13/2023] [Indexed: 08/11/2023]
Abstract
We aimed to describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients who underwent atherectomy at the time of percutaneous coronary intervention in centers with on-site surgical centers (SCs) versus nonsurgical centers (NSCs). Patients treated with coronary atherectomy between January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2019, from the British Cardiovascular Society Intervention (BCIS) registry were included. Primary outcomes were in-hospital all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. A total of 20,833 patients were treated with coronary atherectomy, of which 7,983 (38%) were performed at NSC. The proportion of coronary atherectomies performed in NSC increased from 12.5% in 2006 to 42% in 2019. Compared with patients treated at SC, patients treated in NSC were older (mean age 75.1 ± SD years vs 74.2 ± SD, p <0.001), but had comparable prevalence of hypertension (NSC 73.9% vs SC 72.8%, p = 0.085), diabetes mellitus (NSC 32.2% vs SC 31.6%, p = 0.43) and renal disease (NSC 6.0% vs SC 6.0%, p = 0.99). Intracoronary imaging was used more often in NSC than SC (22.3% vs 19.4%, p <0.001). After adjustment, the odds of in-hospital mortality (odds ratios [OR] 0.76, 95% confidence intervals [CI] 0.50 to 1.16), major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (OR 0.80, 95% CI 0.53 to 1.21), emergency coronary artery bypass graft (OR 0.49, 95% CI 0.15 to 1.57), major bleeding (OR 0.67, 95% CI 0.36 to 1.24) and coronary perforation (OR 1.07, 95% CI 0.97 to 1.43) in NSC were comparable with SC. In conclusion, coronary atherectomy in hospitals with off-site surgical cover has become more frequent, with no association with poorer outcomes, compared with hospitals with on-site surgical cover.

Percutaneous management of calcified coronary arteries - review of atherectomy and lithotripsy devices and why it is important. Curr Opin Cardiol 2021; 36:630-636. [PMID: 33929366 DOI: 10.1097/hco.0000000000000871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Coronary artery calcification (CAC) predisposes to suboptimal revascularization outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Despite the availability of several plaque modification devices, their rates of use remain low despite the prevalence of CAC encountered in clinical practice. It is important to understand how each device can be utilized in clinical practice in order to improve outcomes after PCI. RECENT FINDINGS This article summarizes the most recent clinical evidence for each plaque modification device. Although rotational atherectomy is the most frequently used device for plaque modification, the use of orbital atherectomy (OA) has been increasing. Balloon-based strategies including recent studies evaluating a novel intravascular lithotripsy balloon have shed light on the benefits of nonablative devices in modifying CAC during PCI. SUMMARY CAC poses significant technical challenges in achieving optimal stent results. Several intracoronary plaque modification devices are currently available and understanding the technical aspects, indications and contraindications to the use of each device is essential. Although rotational and OA are most commonly used, laser atherectomy and balloon-based devices may offer an advantage in certain lesion subsets.
