Rotational atherectomy (RA) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is
uncommon and its use in a thrombotic lesion is labelled a contraindication by its …

The usual large thrombus load encountered in acute ST‐elevation myocardial infarctions
increases the likelihood for slow‐flow or no‐reflow during percutaneous coronary …

Background Although the use of rotational atherectomy (RA) is off-label in the setting of ST-
elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), it can be the only option in severely calcified culprit …

Introduction Rotational atherectomy (RA) during primary PCI (PPCI) for STEMI is relatively
contraindicated because of the perceived increased risk of no-reflow. However, RA PPCI …

Rotational atherectomy (RA) is a proven technique to modify a heavily calcified coronary
lesion if balloon angioplasty failed. RA is frequently avoided in ST-elevation myocardial …

Background: Calcified coronary lesions represent technical challenges during percutaneous
coronary intervention and are associated with a high frequency of restenosis and target …

Coronary artery calcification generally occurs because of the fibrocalcific remodeling of
atherosclerotic plaque but can also occur because of hyperphosphatemic mineral …

Aims: The safety and efficacy of rotational atherectomy (RA) in patients presenting with non-
ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTE-ACS) remain to be defined. The aim of our study …

While rotational atherectomy (RA) is used for complex lesions in percutaneous coronary
intervention, there are several contraindications such as unprotected left main stenosis or …

Rotational atherectomy (RA) is widely used in the percutaneous treatment of heavily
calcified coronary artery lesions in patients with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) …
