Incidence of Bradycardia and Outcomes of Patients Who Underwent Orbital Atherectomy Without a Temporary Pacemaker.
CONCLUSION: Significant bradycardia was uncommon during orbital atherectomy. Performing orbital atherectomy without a temporary pacemaker appears to be safe. PMID: 28145873 [PubMed - in process]

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]

Short Duration vs Standard Duration of Dual-Antiplatelet Therapy After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Second-Generation Drug-Eluting Stents - A Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and Meta-Regression Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
CONCLUSION: In low-risk patients treated with contemporary second-generation DES implantation, SD-DAPT has similar rates of mortality, myocardial infarction, and stent thrombosis, with lower rates of bleeding compared with LD-DAPT. PMID: 27630146 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Rheolytic Thrombectomy for Acute Myocardial Infarction Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock.
CONCLUSION: RT reduces 2-year MACE rate in patients with large thrombus burden and AMI complicated by CS. PMID: 27187985 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Novel Technique of Advancing the Rotational Atherectomy Device: "Single-Operator" Technique.
CONCLUSION: RA can be performed successfully without a skilled assistant to maintain wire position during advancement of the burr, and the absence of an assistant should therefore not eliminate the performance of RA. PMID: 27145049 [PubMed - in process]

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Severely Calcified Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery Disease: Initial Experience With Orbital Atherectomy.
CONCLUSIONS: Orbital atherectomy in patients with severely calcified ULMCA disease is feasible, even in high-risk patients who were considered poor surgical candidates. Randomized trials are needed to determine the role of orbital atherectomy in ULMCA disease. PMID: 27031936 [PubMed - in process]

Impact of Switching From Prasugrel to Clopidogrel Shortly After a Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Without a Loading Dose of Clopidogrel.
CONCLUSIONS: In this small, retrospective analysis, the results of loading patients with prasugrel for PCI and switching them to clopidogrel without a loading dose appear to be encouraging. PMID: 26378415 [PubMed - in process]
