Abstract

Severe coronary artery calcification, too often underestimated, increases the complexity of percutaneous coronary interventions. Atherectomy is one of preferred approach for the preparation of calcified lesions before stent placement. Orbital atherectomy is a new method that has proven to be safe and effective in the preparation of calcium plaques (ORBIT I and ORBIT II studies). The recent introduction in France allows to perform a prospective registry named REFORCE. Its main objective is to include 300 patients in order to evaluate security and safety of the device in France during routine use.
