Abstract
Management of intracoronary calcium (ICC) continues to be a challenge for interventional cardiologists. There have been significant advances in calcium treatment devices. However, there still exists a knowledge gap regarding which devices to choose for the treatment of ICC. The purpose of this manuscript is to review the principles of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) and clinical data. The technique of IVL will then be compared to alternative calcium treatment devices. Clinical data will be reviewed concerning the treatment of coronary, peripheral artery and valvular calcifications. Controversies to be discussed include how to incorporate IVL into your practice, what is the best approach for treating calcium subtypes, how to approach under-expanded stents, what is the ideal technique for performing IVL, how safe is IVL, whether imaging adds value when performing IVL, and how IVL fits into a treatment program for peripheral arteries and calcified valves.

Analyzing drilling noise in rotational atherectomy: Improving safety and effectiveness through visualization and anomaly detection using autoencoder-A preclinical study. Health Sci Rep 2023; 6:e1739. [PMID: 38033711 PMCID: PMC10684982 DOI: 10.1002/hsr2.1739] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and Aims As the population of aging societies continues to grow, the prevalence of complex coronary artery diseases, including calcification, is expected to increase. Rotational atherectomy (RA) is an essential technique for treating calcified lesions. This study aimed to assess the usefulness of the drilling noise produced during rotablation as a parameter for evaluating the safety and effectiveness of the procedure. Methods A human body model mimicking calcified stenotic coronary lesions was constructed using plastic resin, and burrs of sizes 1.25 and 1.5 mm were utilized. To identify the noise source during rotablation, we activated the ROTAPRO™ rotablator at a rotational speed of 180,000 rpm, recording the noise near the burr (inside the mock model) and advancer (outside). In addition to regular operation, we simulated two major complications: burr entrapment and guidewire transection. The drilling noise recorded in Waveform Audio File Format files was converted into spectrograms for analysis and an autoencoder analyzed the image data for anomalies. Results The drilling noise from both inside and outside the mock model was predominantly within the 3000 Hz frequency domain. During standard operation, intermittent noise within this range was observed. However, during simulated complications, there were noticeable changes: a drop to 2000 Hz during burr entrapment and a distinct squealing noise during guidewire transection. The autoencoder effectively reduced the spectrogram data into a two-dimensional representation suitable for anomaly detection in potential clinical applications. Conclusion By analyzing drilling noise, the evaluation of procedural safety and efficacy during RA can be enhanced.

Abstract
Serious complications including vessel perforation may occur during rotational atherectomy (RA) to left circumflex (LCX) ostial lesions. In fact, if perforation occurs around LCX ostium, bailout procedures including deployment of covered stents may cause fatal ischemia in the territory of left anterior descending artery, which results in broad anterior acute myocardial infarction and subsequent death. In this review article, we described tips and tricks for RA to LCX ostial lesions. First, we should cautiously decide the indication for RA to LCX ostial lesions, because there are several reasons to avoid RA to LCX ostial lesions. Before procedures, we should estimate the difficulty of RA to LCX ostial lesions, which is mainly determined by the combination of the bifurcation angle and the severity of stenosis. Thus, the combination of the large bifurcation angle and the tight stenosis makes RA to LCX ostial lesions most difficult. Appropriate position of guide catheter and RotaWire is a key to successful RA to LCX ostial lesions. Differential cutting is an essential concept for RA to LCX ostial lesions. However, since there is no guarantee that differential cutting always works, small burr (≤ 1.5 mm) would be a safe choice as initial burr for RA to LCX ostial lesions.

Abstract
With growing experience, technical improvements and use of newer generation drug-eluting stents (DES), recent data showed satisfactory acute and long-term results after rotational atherectomy (RA) in calcified coronary lesions. The randomized ROTAXUS and PREPARE-CALC trials compared RA to balloon-based strategies in two different time periods in the DES era. In this manuscript, we assessed the technical evolution in RA practice from a pooled analysis of the RA groups of both trials and established a link to further recent literature. Furthermore, we sought to summarize and analyze the available experience with RA in different patient and lesion subsets, and propose recommendations to improve RA practice. We also illustrated the combination of RA with other methods of lesion preparation. Finally, based on the available evidence, we propose a simple and practical approach to treat severely calcified lesions.

Abstract
Rotational atherectomy (RA) is an endovascular procedure to ablate calcified plaque and is an integral tool for complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Rotational atherectomy increases the risk of periprocedural complications. One of the major complications of RA is coronary perforation, which has a reported incidence of up to 2%. It is usually identified and managed within the procedure. Rarely, there are delayed and unanticipated complications that can be missed, causing significant morbidity and mortality. We present a rare case of a patient with a late presentation of cardiac tamponade days after a complex PCI with RA.

Abstract
Axillary bromhidrosis, which involves the apocrine sweat glands, severely affects adolescents. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of tumescent anesthesia technique combined with superficial fascia rotational atherectomy treatment for axillary bromhidrosis. The present retrospective study included a total of 60 patients with axillary bromhidrosis. These patients were divided into experimental and control groups. Patients in the control group were treated using the tumescent anesthesia technique combined with conventional surgery, while patients in the experimental group were treated using the anesthesia technique combined with superficial fascia rotational atherectomy. The intraoperative blood loss, operation time, histopathological examination and dermatology life quality index (DLQI) score were used to assess the treatment effect. The intraoperative blood loss and operation time were significantly lower in the experimental group compared with the control group. The histopathological results revealed that the sweat gland tissues in experiment group significantly decreased compared with that in control group. Furthermore, there was a significant improvement in axillary odor degree for postoperative patients, and the DLQI scores in experiment group were significantly lower compared with those in control group. The tumescent anesthesia technique combined with superficial fascia rotational atherectomy is a promising approach to treating patients with axillary bromhidrosis.

Abstract
Background Rotational atherectomy has become increasingly utilised over the past decade. Although a relatively safe procedure in appropriately trained physicians' hands, there are a number of recognised complications. Case summary We describe the case of a 64-year-old female who presented with chest pain and was diagnosed with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome. A transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) showed normal biventricular function and no valve disease. Invasive coronary angiogram was performed which revealed a severely calcified ostial right coronary artery (RCA) disease which was felt to be the culprit of the presentation. Balloon dilatation was unsuccessful, therefore, rotational atherectomy with an Amplatz left 0.75 guide and a 1.5 mm rota-burr was utilised and improved calcium burden. This was complicated by ostial dissection, treated with stenting. A TTE following the procedure revealed moderate aortic regurgitation (AR). The patient was discharged as she remained asymptomatic. An outpatient transoesophageal echocardiogram performed eight months later showed evidence of severe eccentric AR. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging confirmed severe AR with left ventricular dilatation. Repeat angiogram 10 months after index procedure revealed in-stent restenosis, and the patient was accepted by heart multidisciplinary team for aortic valve replacement and grafting of RCA. Discussion As the field of rotational atherectomy continues to expand, we propose that novel complications such as reported in this case may become recognised. Finally, we stress the importance of multi-modality imaging in the investigation and timely planning of interventions in the management of these patients.

Abstract
Coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR) has an incidence of about 10% of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) performed in the United States. Traditional management strategies for ISR include balloon angioplasty with non-compliant or use of cutting/scoring balloons or atheroablative therapies (like laser and rotational atherectomy), all of which are inherently limited in their ability to treat stent under-expansion or calcification around the stent. Shockwave intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) has recently demonstrated safe and efficacious treatment of severely calcified coronary stenoses with reported cases of treating ISR as an off-label use. In this case series, we describe the successful use of IVL for 6 cases of ISR and 1 case of stent under-expansion using 40-80 IVL pulses per lesion. Angiographic success was obtained in all seven patients, and there were no intra-procedural complications or adverse cardiac events at a mean follow-up of 200 days. Our report indicates that IVL can be safely and effectively used to treat ISR and stent under-expansion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The DISRUPT-CAD study series demonstrated feasibility and safety of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) in selected patients, but applicability across a broad range of clinical scenarios remains unclear. AIMS This study aims to evaluate the procedural and clinical outcomes of IVL in a high-risk real-world cohort, compared to a regulatory approval cohort. METHODS Consecutive patients treated with IVL and percutaneous coronary intervention at our center from May 2016 to April 2020 were included. Comparison was made between those enrolled in the DISRUPT-CAD series of studies to those with calcified lesions but an exclusion criteria. RESULTS Among 177 patients treated with IVL, 142 were excluded from regulatory trials due to acute coronary syndrome presentation (47.2%), left ventricular ejection fraction <40% (22.5%), chronic renal failure (12.0%), or use of mechanical circulatory support (8.5%). This clinical cohort had a higher SYNTAX score (22.6 ± 12.1 vs. 17.4 ± 9.9, p = 0.019), and more treated ACC/AHA C lesions (56.3% vs. 37.1%, p = 0.042). Rates of device success (93.7% vs. 100.0%, p = 0.208), procedural success (96.5% vs. 100.0%, p = 0.585), and minimal lumen area gain (221.2 ± 93.7% vs. 198.6 ± 152.0%, p = 0.807) were similar in both groups. The DISRUPT-CAD cohort had no in-hospital mortality, 30-day major adverse cardiac events (MACE), or 30-day target vessel revascularization (TVR). The clinical cohort had an in-hospital mortality of 4.2%, 30-day MACE of 7.8%, and 30-day TVR of 1.5%. There was no difference in 12-month TVR (2.9% vs. 2.2%; p = 0.825). Twelve-month MACE was higher in the clinical cohort (21.1% vs. 8.6%, p = 0.03). CONCLUSION IVL use remains associated with high clinical efficacy, procedural success, and low complication rates in a real-world population previously excluded from regulatory approving trials.

Abstract
Coronary artery calcification is prevalent in coronary heart disease with its progression being predictive of future adverse cardiac events. Its presence is considered to be a marker of interventional procedural complexity. Several adjunctive percutaneous coronary intervention tools, such as modifying balloons, atherectomy devices and intravascular lithotripsy, now exist to successfully treat calcified lesions. In this state-of-the-art review, a step-wise progression of strategies is described to modify coronary plaque, from well-recognised techniques to techniques that should only be considered when standard manoeuvres have proven unsuccessful. Technology has advanced greatly over the past few decades and we discuss how future technologies might shape percutaneous intervention.

Abstract
Background: The unprotected calcified Left Main disease represents a high-risk subset for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and it is associated with a higher number of periprocedural complications and an increased rate of in-stent thrombosis and restenosis. Adequate lesion preparation plays a crucial role in achieving a favorable PCI outcome. Rotational Atherectomy (RA) is a well-established plaque-modifying method; nevertheless, the data regarding the effectiveness of RA in LM diseases is scarce. Recently, the novel ShockWave-Intravascular-Lithotripsy(S-IVL) device has been introduced to the PCI armamentarium in order to modify the calcified plaque. Methods: We performed a retrospective evaluation of 44 consecutive subjects who underwent the LM-PCI, and who were supported by either the RA or S-IVL. Results: The Rota group consisted of 29 patients with a mean syntax score of 28.0 ± 7.5. The S-IVL group was composed of 15 subjects with a syntax score of 23.3 ± 13.0 There were no statistical differences regarding MACE between the RA and Shockwave arms of the in-hospital group (10.3% vs. 6.7%), or in the six month (17.2% vs. 13.3%) follow-up group. Conclusions: RA and S-IVL could be safe and effective therapeutic strategies for calcified LM disease. Further studies with a higher number of participants and longer follow-up times are warranted to establish the potential benefits of RA and S-IVL for the management of LM stenosis.

Relationship between Metabolic Syndrome and Clinical Outcome in Patients Treated with Drug-Eluting Stenting after Rotational Atherectomy for Complex Calcified Coronary Lesions. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11144192. [PMID: 35887955 PMCID: PMC9322199 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11144192] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2022] [Revised: 07/11/2022] [Accepted: 07/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and aims: although an association between metabolic syndrome (MS) and cardiovascular disease risk has been documented, the relationship in patients with complex calcified coronary lesions undergoing rotational atherectomy (RA) and drug-eluting stent(DES) insertion remains controversial. Here, the influence of MS on outcomes was assessed. Methods and results: we retrospectively included 398 patients who underwent RA and DES insertion for complex calcified coronary lesions in our institution between June 2015 and January 2019. The modified Adult Treatment Plan III was used to diagnose MS. The endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), comprising mortality from all causes, myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization (TVR). In all, 173 (43.5%) patients had MS. MS was significantly associated with MACE over the 28.32 ± 6.79-month follow-up period (HR 1.783, 95% CI from 1.122 to 2.833) even after adjustment for other possible confounders. Conclusion: MS was frequently observed in patients treated with RA with DES insertion for complex calcified coronary lesions. MS independently predicted MACE in these patients.

Abstract
Percutaneous treatment of heavily calcified coronary lesions remains a challenge for interventional cardiologists with increased risk of incomplete lesion preparation, suboptimal stent deployment, procedural complications, and a higher rate of acute and late stent failure. Adequate lesion preparation through calcium modification is crucial in optimising procedural outcomes. Several calcium modification devices and techniques exist, with rotational atherectomy the predominant treatment for severely calcified lesions. Novel technologies such as intravascular lithotripsy are now available and show promise as a less technical and highly effective approach for calcium modification. Emerging evidence also emphasises the value of detailed characterisation of calcification severity and distribution especially with intracoronary imaging for appropriate device selection and individualised treatment strategy. This review aims to provide an overview of the non-invasive and invasive evaluation of coronary calcification, discuss calcium modification techniques and propose an algorithm for the management of calcified coronary lesions.

Abstract
Rotational atherectomy (RA) is an important interventional technique to facilitate effective percutaneous coronary intervention of severely calcified lesions. Despite the improved probability of better procedural outcomes during angioplasty, the use of RA is associated with an inherent risk of complications. Here, we present a case of a woman in her mid-90s with severe aortic stenosis (AS) who underwent RA facilitated angioplasty of the right coronary artery (RCA), with the procedure complicated by the Kokeshi phenomenon. Manual traction to retrieve the burr resulted in dehiscence of an aortic plaque near the ostium of the RCA. Unfortunately, the patient's risk profile precluded surgery. After a multidisciplinary discussion, a self-expanding Core Valve Evolut R prosthesis (Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA) was successfully implanted, with improvement in the AS and stabilisation of the aortic plaque. This is the first reported case of successful non-operative management of a mobile-aortic plaque caused by RA with a transcatheter prosthesis.

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.

Abstract
Peripheral arterial disease is estimated to affect more than 200 million people worldwide. Although more than 50% of those affected are asymptomatic, it accounts for 3-4% of amputations and a crude five-year death rate of 82.4 deaths per 1000 patient-years when adjusted for duration of follow-up. Additionally, peripheral artery disease is often an indicator of obstructive atherosclerotic disease involvement of cerebral and coronary vessels, consequently increasing the risk of stroke, cardiovascular death, and myocardial infarction in these patient populations. The management of peripheral arterial disease includes conservative therapies, pharmacological treatments, interventional and surgical revascularization of blood vessels. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with balloons and stents has improved clinical outcomes compared to medical treatment alone. Despite these advances, the prevalence of peripheral arterial disease remains high. This review article aims to provide focused, up-to-date information on the clinical course, diagnosis, medical and interventional approach of the management of peripheral artery disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is a novel alternative to rotational atherectomy (RA) for the modification of heavily calcified coronary stenoses prior to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We compare the real-world resource utilisation and associated costs of PCI with adjunctive RA and IVL. METHODS We compared the resource utilisation, in-lab consumable costs and procedural data of 120 patients who underwent PCI with IVL from the Disrupt-CAD II study (NCT03328949) to 60 patients who underwent PCI with RA at the Golden Jubilee National Hospital, Glasgow. The RA patients were consecutive and selected on the basis of being deemed suitable for IVL by an independent interventional cardiologist experienced in the use of both techniques. RESULTS PCI with IVL was associated with significantly lower costs than PCI with RA (mean difference £398 [95% CI, £181-£615]; p<0.001). Considering between-group differences, the IVL group used 4.02 fewer balloons (p<0.001), 3.03 fewer guidewires (p<0.001), 0.52 fewer guide catheters (p=0.001), 0.22 fewer guide extensions (p=0.004) and 1.03 fewer drug eluting stents (DES) (p<0.001) per case than the RA group. The IVL group had shorter procedural duration (mean difference 13.3 min [95% CI, 3.6-23.0]; p=0.008) but longer fluoroscopy times (mean difference 4.4 min [95% CI, 1.7-7.1]; p=0.002). CONCLUSIONS In this indirect comparison, we found that the higher initial device costs of IVL may be offset by a lower overall resource utilisation. Further research is required to confirm this, and future randomised trials should include a formal health economic analysis.

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.

Silalahi TDA, Suwita CS. Successful rotational atherectomies for calcified left main stenosis with distal aneurysms in the elderly. Clin Case Rep 2021; 9:e04465. [PMID: 34295487 PMCID: PMC8283865 DOI: 10.1002/ccr3.4465] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2021] [Revised: 05/22/2021] [Accepted: 06/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
In complex calcified LM lesions, RA is an effective and safe alternative for resolving stenosis. As a plaque modifier, RA can allow an optimal stent deployment. Nevertheless, in limited availability of intravascular imaging, well-preparedness against incidental angiography findings is mandatory. Distal aneurysm is not a contraindication provided that the team has the necessary experience.

Abstract
Background. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with significant renal dysfunction is challenging because of the lesion characteristics and the risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). With the advent of intravascular ultrasound- (IVUS-) guided zero-contrast PCI, outcomes have improved considerably. Objective. To assess the safety and short-term outcomes of IVUS-guided zero-contrast PCI in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with complex demographics or lesion morphology. Methods. Patients who underwent IVUS-guided zero-contrast PCI at a tertiary center, from November 2019 to May 2020, were included in this prospective analysis. Clinical characteristics, procedural data, and follow-up data were collected and analyzed. Results. A total of 15 patients (27 vessels), all men (mean age, 70.0 ± 11.0 years), underwent zero-contrast PCI. The mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and serum creatinine were 30.8 ± 7.3 mL/min/1.73 m2 and 2.6 ± 1.3 mg/dL, respectively. The mean BMC2 risk for dialysis was 2.1 ± 1.1%, mean SYNTAX score was 20.3 ± 10.3, and mean left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 42.4 ± 11.6%. Four patients (26.6%) underwent left main coronary artery (LMCA) PCI including one LMCA bifurcation. One patient underwent chronic total occlusion PCI. Technical and procedural success were 100% without any periprocedural complications. No major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were reported, and no patient required dialysis within three months of follow-up. Conclusion. Zero-contrast PCI guided by IVUS is safe in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with moderate-to-severe CKD. High procedural success without complications can be achieved even in cases with complex clinical characteristics and lesion morphology.

Incidence and Mechanisms of Coronary Perforations during Rotational Atherectomy in Modern Practice. J Interv Cardiol 2020; 2020:1894389. [PMID: 33223973 PMCID: PMC7673942 DOI: 10.1155/2020/1894389] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2020] [Revised: 10/10/2020] [Accepted: 10/23/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Heavy calcifications remain formidable challenges to PCI, even for well-experienced operators. However, rotational atherectomy (RA)-induced coronary perforations (CPs) still could not be obviated. This study was to explore incidence and mechanisms of RA-induced CP in real-world practice. Knowing why CPs occur in RA should help operators avert such mishaps. Method Patients who received coronary RA from April 2010 to December 2019 with keywords related to perforations were retrieved from database. The procedure details, angiography, and clinical information were reviewed in detail. Results A total of 479 RAs were performed with 11 perforations in 10 procedures among 9 patients documented. The incidence of RA-induced CP was 2.1%. The RA vessels were distributed in different territories, including first diagonal branch. Most CPs could be treated conservatively, but prolonged profound shock predisposed to poor outcome. CPs caused by rotawire tip occurred in 18.2% of cases, inappropriately sized burrs in 18.2% of cases, and rotawire damage with subsequent transection and perforation in another 18.2% of cases. A total of 5 (45.5%) perforations were caused by unintended and unnoticed bias cutting into noncalcified plaques (4, 36.4%) or through calcified vessel wall (1, 9.1%). The mechanisms for certain CPs were unique and illustrated in diagrams. Conclusion CPs due to RA occur in certain percentage of patients. The mechanisms for CPs are diverse. Wire damage with subsequent transection could occur due to inappropriately repetitive burr stress on the wire body. A significant portion was due to unintended and unnoticed bias cutting into noncalcified plaque or through calcified vessel wall.

Abstract
Chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary interventions can be highly complex and are associated with an increased risk of complications, such as perforation, acute vessel closure (which can lead to rapid haemodynamic compromise if it involves the donor vessel), and equipment loss or entrapment. Awareness of the potential complications and meticulous attention to equipment position and patient monitoring can help minimise the risk of complications and allow prompt treatment should they occur.

Abstract
Severe coronary artery calcification increases percutaneous treatment complexity and the risk of intraprocedural complications, affecting acute and long-term outcomes. Current use of specialty balloons and atherectomy technologies is limited due to the higher risk of complications, degree of technical difficulty and operator experience. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is a novel technology for severe calcified coronary artery disease that facilitates vessel preparation, enhancing vessel compliance. IVL system emits sonic waves that penetrate through vascular layers and disrupt both superficial and deep calcium, leaving the soft tissue unharmed. The purpose of the present review is to provide a summary of the evidence currently available on this therapy, including a practical description of the components and function of the shockwave coronary IVL system.
