In this real-world/all-comers patient population with long, stenotic lesions across the calcification spectrum, vessel preparation with longitudinal micro-incisions prior to PTA was associated with low dissection rate, low dissection severity, low stent implantation, and high FFTLR with the absence of amputation at 12 months relative to published reports in long-lesion cohorts. These results support vessel preparation via micro-incisions.
