Aims: We sought to investigate the comparative efficacy of ablative- versus balloon-based techniques before drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation in severely calcified coronary lesions. Methods: This is a patient-level pooled analysis from the PREPARE-CALC and ISAR-CALC randomized trials that investigated the performance of ablative- versus balloon-based techniques before DES implantation in severely calcified coronary lesions. Patients with available optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging data after stent implantation were included in this analysis. The primary endpoint was stent expansion on intravascular imaging. Secondary endpoints included stent asymmetry, stent eccentricity and strategy success.
