Abstract
Background
The optimal treatment for coronary calcified nodules (CNs) is still unclear. The aim of this study was to compare the modification of these lesions by coronary intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) and rotational atherectomy (RA) using optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Methods
ROTA.shock was a 1:1 randomized, prospective, double-arm multi-center non-inferiority trial that compared the use of IVL and RA with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in severely calcified lesions. In 19 of the patients out of this study CNs were detected by OCT in the target lesion and were treated by either IVL or RA.
Results
The mean angle of CNs was significantly larger in final OCT scans than before RA (92 ± 17° vs. 68 ± 7°; p = 0.01) and IVL (89 ± 18° vs. 60 ± 10°; p = 0.03). The CNs were thinner upon final scans than in initial native scans (RA: 17.8 ± 7.8 mm vs. 38.6 ± 13.1 mm; p = 0.02; IVL: 16.5 ± 9.0 mm vs. 37.2 ± 14.3 mm; p = 0.02). Nodule volume did not differ significantly between native and final OCT scans (RA: 0.66 ± 0.12 mm3 vs. 0.61 ± 0.33 mm3; p = 0.68; IVL: 0.64 ± 0.19 mm3 vs. 0.68 ± 0.22 mm3; p = 0.74). Final stent eccentricity was high with 0.62 ± 0.10 after RA and 0.61 ± 0.09 after IVL.
Conclusion
RA or IVL are unable to reduce the volume of the calcified plaque. CN modulation seems to be mainly induced by the stent implantation and not by RA or IVL.
