Study on the use of intravascular ultrasound-guided coronary intravascular lithotripsy compared with rotational atherectomy: a single-center, retrospective study.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided coronary intravascular lithotripsy and rotational atherectomy in treating severe coronary artery calcification.
methodsA retrospective analysis of 60 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention at the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from October 2022 to August 2023 was conducted. The patients were divided into two groups: 30 received IVUS-guided coronary intravascular lithotripsy and 30 underwent IVUS-guided rotational atherectomy. The primary endpoints comprised angiographic thrombolysis in myocardial infarction III flow and <30% stenosis post-percutaneous coronary intervention, and IVUS metrics, such as >80% stent expansion, avoiding high plaque burden or lipid-rich plaques, minimizing malapposition <0.4 mm/1 mm, and preventing tissue prolapse and dissection. Safety was assessed by complications and 1- and 6-month postoperative major adverse cardiovascular event rates.
resultsThe primary endpoint was achieved in both groups. The treatment efficacy was 100% in all cases. At 1 and 6 months post-procedure, there was no significant difference in major adverse cardiovascular events, acute myocardial infarction, or stent thrombosis between the two groups.
conclusionIVUS-guided coronary intravascular lithotripsy is a safe and effective alternative to rotational atherectomy, potentially reducing certain complications.
