Background: Balloon dilatation or debulking seems to be essential to allow successful stent implantation in calcified coronary lesions. Compared with standard balloon predilatation, debulking using high-speed rotational atherectomy (RA) is associated with higher initial procedural success albeit with higher in-stent late lumen loss at intermediate-term follow-up. Whether modified (scoring or cutting) balloons (MB) could achieve similar procedural success compared with RA is not known. In addition, whether new-generation drug-eluting stents could counterbalance the excessive neointimal proliferation triggered by RA remains to be determined.Methods and Results: We randomly assigned patients with documented myocardial ischemia and severely calcified native coronary lesions undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention to a strategy of lesion preparation using MB or RA followed by drug-eluting stent implantation. Stenting was performed using a third-generation sirolimus-eluting stent with a bioabsorbable polymer. The trial had 2 primary end points: strategy success (defined as successful stent delivery and expansion with attainment of
