Impact of Impaired Renal Function in Patients With Severely Calcified Coronary Lesions Treated With Orbital Atherectomy.

CONCLUSION: Despite higher-risk baseline characteristics, patients with CKD had no significant differences in MACCE. Orbital atherectomy represents a reasonable treatment strategy for the treatment of severe CAC in patients with CKD. A prospective randomized trial with long-term follow-up is needed to identify the optimal treatment for these patients. PMID: 28089999 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
