Calcified Coronary Lesion:Difficulties and Challenges Zhou Yu Jie MD, PhD, FACC, FSCAI, FHRS Beijing An Zhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China
Marker for CAD and increased mortality • 4,609 asymptomatic individuals • Follow-up 3.1 years • 4,425 Suspected CAD patients • Follow-up 3 years JACC: CARDIOVASCULAR IMAGING. 2010 Dec;3(12). JACC: CARDIOVASCULAR IMAGING. 2012 Oct;5(10)
Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) in the Multi-Ethnic Study CAC are associated with CHD events Coylewright et al. Atherosclerosis.2011
Risk Factors(The MESA study) • Race and gender • Age • BMI • Smoking • Family history of heart attack • Hyperlipidemia Intimal calcification • Hypertension Intimal calcification • Diabetes Medial calcification • CKD Medial calcification • Rheumatic diseases Circulation. 2007;115:2722-2730
Inverse relationship between BMI and CAC Atherosclerosis. 2012 March ; 221(1): 176–182. Method: • 9,993 patients undergoing PCI • The degree of index lesion calcification (ILC) based on angiography
Elevated BSA is a predictor of CAC, not BMI Method:3172 consecutive patients underwent CAC scores Coron Artery Dis 2012 Mar;23(2):113-7
Mechanism of CAC Vascular calcification is an active ,regulated process BMP-Smadsignaling BMP-Wnt signaling

Strategy of PCI in CAC • Balloon angioplasty • Cutting balloon • Rotablator • Stent • Post dilation • Laser
Strategy for balloon angioplasty • Small size balloon prefered • Pressure of BC from 8 atm, slowly increase • The up limit of pressure may be 16 atm • Flow restricting dissection or perforation be concerned 14
Cutting balloon for calcified lesion • Indication for cutting balloon: Lesion relatively short (<20mm) Concentric lesions • Heavily calcified lesion not appropriate, but sometimes brought supprise 15
Rotablator for calcified lesion • Effective device for calcified lesion • Differential tissue cutting ----selectively hard lesion, no soft tissue • Optimal burr size---60%-70% of reference vessel diameter • Prevent no flow & slow flow ----nitroprusside, adenosine , etc • Upper limit of rotablator: just enough for revascularization 16
Rotational Atherectomy(RA) RandomizedROTAXUS Trial Outcome JACC Cardiovasc Interv 2013 Jan;6(1):10-9
Randomized ROTAXUS Trial Outcome CONCLUSIONS: • RA does not increase the efficacy of DES in calcified lesions • Using RA did not reduce late lumen loss of DES at 9 months • RA remains the default strategy for complex calcified lesions Death MI TVR MACE JACC Cardiovasc Interv 2013 Jan
Analysis of the UK central cardiac audit database Method: • 221,669 PCI procedures • 2152 patients (0.97%):RA (RA+) • Remainder conventional PCI: (RA-) CONCLUSIONS: • RA was undertaken in patients with higher pre-procedural risk. • Medium term survival was worse among patients undergoing RA. • Procedural success and complication rates seem acceptable in this context. RA remains clinically useful for patients with calcified coronary lesions. Int J Cardiol. 2014 Jan 1;170(3):381-7
Rotational atherectomy for LM in octogenarians • 42 patients ≥80 years had undergone stenting for calcified LMCA disease • Procedural successis good (92.3% vs. 96.6%) • RA appeared to be a safe and effective strategy for the treatment of LMCA disease in octogenarians who were refused for surgery Int J Cardiol 2013 Apr;26(2):173-82

DES for calcified lesion • DES use was associated with a significantly lower risk in repeat revascularization (HR = 0.57; 95% CI 0.40–0.82; P = 0.002) compared to BMS group in CCL • TAXUS-IV sub study : 9-month angiographic follow-up, DES significantly reduced the amount of late loss compared with the BMS (0.26 +/- 0.56 vs 0.51 +/- 0.48 mm, p = 0.015) in the calcific lesions 25 Sripal Bangalore, CCI 77:22–28 (2011) Moussa I, Am J Cardiol. 2005 Nov 1;96(9):1242-7
Post dilation for calified lesion • Post dialation last straw for calified lesion • Non compliant, high pressure balloon first choice • Be careful coronary perforation or serious dissection 26

Laboratory tests • TnI levels of 0.01 ng/mL (normal range, <0.05 ng/mL), Cre 76umol/L, ALT 23U/L, AST 34U/L • A 2-dimensional echocardiogram demonstrated decreased left ventricular function, with an ejection fraction of 41%
