Zusammenfassung:There is limited data available on atherectomy usage in hospitals or centers without on-site surgical backup. The purpose of this retrospective analysis was to gain further knowledge by analyzing the in-hospital and 30-day outcomes of complex PCI patients (including diabetics) treated with coronary orbital atherectomy (OA) at centers without on-site surgical back-up. All comers treated with OA at two centers without on-site surgical backup were included. Baseline, procedure, and outcome data were compared in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. The impact of transfemoral (TFA) versus transradial (TRA) vascular access was also assessed. Of the 221 patients treated with OA, 43% were diabetics. The diabetes and no-diabetes groups had similar baseline demographic and lesion characteristics, except for the higher rate of chronic kidney disease seen in the diabetics. Overall, there was a high freedom from major adverse cardiac events (MACE; in-hospital: 99.5%; 30-day: 98.6%), as well as a high success in stent delivery (99.5%) and procedural success (97.3%). The rate of angiographic complications was low in both the diabetes and no-diabetes groups (3.1% vs. 1.6%, p = 0.450). TFA and TRA were used in 36% and 64% of the patients, respectively—resulting in low angiographic complications in both groups (3.8% vs. 1.4%, p = 0.263). Despite the complexity of patient co-morbidities and the presence of heavily calcified lesions, the results indicate that coronary OA can be used safely and effectively without on-site surgical back-up. OA treatment resulted in a high rate of successful stent delivery and procedural success, as well as low rates of angiographic complications and MACE, in diabetic and non-diabetic patients, regardless of access site.
