Efficacy and Safety of Excimer Laser Coronary Atherectomy in Acute Coronary Syndrome: Real‐World Evidence From a Propensity‐Adjusted Analysis
In ACS, ELCA was selectively performed in those with specific clinical and lesion characteristics and was associated with reduced MACE in real-world practice. Subgroup analysis suggested that patients with initial high TIMI flow grade, DM, and hypertension might derive greater benefits from ELCA. These findings highlight the importance of lesion selection in optimizing the safety and effectiveness of ELCA in ACS.
