Incidence, predictors, and consequences of coronary dissection following high-speed rotational atherectomy

The American Journal of Cardiology
D L Brown, M Buchbinder

Abstract

The incidence of dissection following rotational atherectomy was 12.8%. By multivariate analysis tortuosity, primary and non-type B lesions were correlated with an increased incidence of dissection. The procedural success rate was reduced in the presence of dissection (86% vs 96%; p = 0.0001) primarily because patients with dissection required coronary bypass more frequently than those without dissection.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
