Characteristics and Pattern of Calcified Nodule and/or Nodular Calcification Detected by Intravascular Ultrasound on the Device-Oriented Composite Endpoint (DoCE) in Patients with Heavily Calcified Lesions Who Underwent Rotational Atherectomy-Assisted Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Figure 2

Kaplan-Meier survival analysis for the primary outcome after RA-assisted intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided PCI compared between those with and without calcified nodule/nodular calcification. DoCE: device-oriented composite endpoint; RA: rotational atherectomy; IVUS: intravascular ultrasound; and PCI: percutaneous coronary intervention.
