Abstract

The Diamondback 360® coronary orbital atherectomy system (OAS) can safely debulk calcified lesions by pullback of the crown, if the crown is advanced to the distal of the lesion. The aim of this study was to compare crossability with two types of crown in OAS. Thirty-six consecutive severely calcified lesions in 33 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention with the coronary OAS were included. The micro crown was used in 18 consecutive lesions from April 2018 to February 2019, and the classic crown with the glide assist was used in 18 consecutive lesions from March 2019 to August 2019. Good crossability was defined as the ability to cross the lesion before orbital atherectomy or to cross the lesion with a first session of orbital atherectomy. We also tried to elucidate whether the crown could cross the lesion without using the glide assist in 13 consecutive lesions at the end of the classic crown cases. Good crossability was more often observed in cases with the classic crown (17 of 18 lesions, 94%) than the micro crown (6 of 18 lesions, 33%) (P < 0.001). In 13 consecutive lesions at the end of the classic crown cases, the crown could cross the lesion in 4 lesions (31%) without use of the glide assist or orbital atherectomy, and in 11 lesions (85%) with only use of the glide assist (P = 0.005). The classic crown with the glide assist is superior to the micro crown in terms of crossability for severely calcified lesions.
