Coronary Thrombosis

In France and Italy, approximately 240,000 percutaneous coronary angioplasties (PCI) are performed annually, with an increasing number of complex procedures, including those involving the left coronary common trunk, a bifurcation, chronic occlusion, or requiring Rotablator Rotary Atherectomy (ARota). The medical literature lacks sufficient data regarding several key aspects of complex angioplasty. These include the epidemiological characteristics of patients undergoing such procedures, the impact of irradiation delivered and the quantity of iodine injected on these lengthy procedures, their procedural complication rate, and in-hospital mortality.
