Optimized strategy of rotational atherectomy of underexpanded coronary stents in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Article in World journal of emergency medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundStent under-expansion is a main cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), which can lead to serious clinical outcomes. The rotational atherectomy of underexpanded coronary stents (academically called stent ablation, SA) by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) may provide more visual reference in the intervention. We aim to analyze the procedural and long-term outcomes of the optimized strategy of SA in patients with ACS and to provide real-world data on this technique.
methodsA total of 11 patients with ACS who underwent SA between April 2017 and January 2019 were analyzed. Clinical follow-ups were obtained either by telephone call or by scheduled visit. Clinical end-points included periprocedural and postprocedural myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, target lesion revascularization, and major adverse cardiac events.
resultsThe mean age of patients was 69.6±6.5 years, and five (45.5%) patients were males. All cases presented with unstable angina and were admitted with ACS. All patients required at least two burrs during the intervention and the size of the burr was selected based on the data of minimum lumen diameter (MLD), and the first and the second burr/stent MLD ratios were 0.93 (0.88-0.99) and 1.09 (1.02-1.14), respectively. Nine patients were treated with drug-eluting stents and two were treated with drug-coated balloons. There were no complications including no flow, perforation, or burr entrapment during the intervention. No in-hospital deaths or major adverse cardiac events were documented during the follow-up period. In our study, less contrast agent and a lower dose of radiation were used during the intervention.
conclusionsSA guided by IVUS can reduce the risk of complications, assess the results of surgery, inform the selection of stent size, and decrease the required dose of radiation and contrast.
