Coronary atherectomy has been around for many years, and the body of evidence for its use
in complex calcified lesions has grown. Calcific coronary disease presents a particularly …

Background and Objectives: Data is still limited regarding clinical outcomes of rotational
atherectomy (RA) after percutaneous coronary intervention. We sought to evaluate clinical …

Background In many patients rotational atherectomy (RA) is the last resort for successful
percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) of highly calcified lesions. The aims were …

Background Criteria for elective rotational atherectomy (RA) are poorly defined, and upfront
procedures are usually performed based on operator's preference and experience. We …

OBJECTIVES: This study sought to determine the success and complication rates of high
speed rotational coronary atherectomy in calcified and noncalcified lesions …

Discussion Rotational atherectomy remains an invaluable tool for treating heavily calcified
complex coronary arteries disease in the cardiac cath lab. Our experience also shows how it …

Background Severely calcified coronary lesions necessitate atheroablation to aid
percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, atherectomy generates microparticles …

Background High-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with left
ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction has been proven to induce reverse LV remodeling …

Background Severe coronary calcification adversely influences success of percutaneous
coronary intervention. Lesion modification with Rotational atherectomy (RA)(Boston …

Objectives To assess long‐term outcome after rotational atherectomy (RA) is followed by
drug‐eluting stent (DES) implantation in complex calcified coronary lesions. Background RA …
