Abstract
Late lumen loss after directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) is mainly determined by arterial remodeling. We hypothesized that stent implantation after optimal lesion debulking could be an effective approach to reduce restenosis. A total of 753 patients with de novo or restenotic coronary lesions were prospectively randomized to DCA plus stenting (n = 381) or stenting alone (n = 372). The patients were followed for 12 months. Procedural success was achieved in 91.5% versus 97.3% (p = 0.0007) of patients treated with DCA plus stent versus stent alone. Optimal atherectomy (
