BACKGROUND: Rotational atherectomy followed by drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation for complex, severely @entity75 is a rational combination that has not been sufficiently evaluated. METHODS: We investigated 102 consecutive @entity1 with angiographic evidence of heavily @entity75 that underwent DES implantation following rotational atherectomy at our institution between June 2005 and October 2009, and we examined the long-term clinical outcomes. The major adverse @entity299 monitored were @entity204 , @entity583 and @entity75 revascularization. RESULTS: @entity1 were 68.8    7.4 years old, 52.9% were @entity6 , and 12.7% had @entity740 . Forty-seven @entity1 (46.1%) had @entity66 , and 13 (12.7%) had left main @entity3979 . The radial approach was used in 37.3% of cases. The procedure was successful in 97%. In-hospital @entity204 occurred in 1 @entity1 (0.9%), and 3 @entity1 (2.9%) developed stent @entity715 . At the mean follow-up period of 15 months (range 1- 54), the total @entity204 rate was 4.9%, @entity75 revascularization was 8.8% and the incidence of @entity583 was 3.9%. The combined endpoint occurred in 12.7% of cases. CONCLUSION: DES following rotational atherectomy for heavily calcified @entity301 is a safe and effective procedure that provides good long-term clinical outcomes.
