Background ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has traditionally been a relative
contraindication for the utilization of rotational atherectomy (RA). However, in severely …

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

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 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 …

Background Rotational atherectomy (RA) is an indispensable tool used for calcified lesion
preparation in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, use of RA in the setting …

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 …

Background Rotational atherectomy (RA) is an effective tool to prepare calcified lesions prior
to stent implantation. We assessed the incidence and reasons of complications during RA. It …

Introduction Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of heavily calcified lesions is a
challenge for the interventional cardiologist and is associated with a high rate of restenosis …

Rotational atherectomy is a valuable technique complementary to PCI in complex calcified
coronary artery stenoses. A case of a 65 year-old man with non-ST elevation acute …

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