The common use of stents, including antiproliferative drug-eluting stents, has been a major
breakthrough in invasive cardiology. Nowadays, a change in the clinical presentation of …

Objectives To evaluate outcomes of patients undergoing rotational atherectomy (RA) in a
multicenter percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) registry. Background RA remains an …

Background In heavily calcified lesions, rotational atherectomy (RA) improves procedural
success and facilitates stent deployment. Reports on RA in the drug-eluting stent (DES) era …

Background Rotational (RA) and orbital (OA) atherectomy for severely calcified coronary

Background It is difficult to implant longer stent in heavily calcified coronary lesions.
Rotational atherectomy enables to deliver longer stent in target lesion. However, impact of …

Conclusions This case was a unique one where a bypass was performed to the mid RCA. In
cases where a bypass is anastomosed to the distal RCA, the approach employed in this …

Background Rotational Atherectomy (RA) is currently recommended for heavily calcified
lesions in which standard percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) techniques would result …

Objectives We aimed to investigate the feasibility, safety, and outcome of rotational
atherectomy (RA) in the setting of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Background Limited data …
