Background: Rotational atherectomy is used as a lesion preparation tool in severely
calcified coronary arteries prior to stent implantation. Controversy exists over whether …

Background Rotational atherectomy (RA) is an acknowledged method of percutaneous
treatment of highly calcified or fibrotic coronary lesions. However, using the rotablator …

The feasibility of rotational atherectomy (RA) during percutaneous coronary intervention
(PCI) in patients who present with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains fully unsettled …

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

Purpose Heavily calcified atherosclerotic plaques can be prepared for stenting by rotational
atherectomy (RA). Clinical outcomes with drug-eluting stents (DES) versus bare-metal stents …

Background Severe coronary artery calcification increases the difficulty of percutaneous
coronary intervention procedures and impairs stent expansion. Herein, we report a case of a …

Background: Rotational atherectomy (RA) is an adjunct tool for the management of heavily
calcified coronary lesions during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but the long …

Objective We report the clinical outcomes of the" single-operator" technique, whereby the
operator both advances the rotational atherectomy (RA) device and keeps the distal wire in …

Background Rotational atherectomy with new ablative strategies have been proposed for
the treatment of extremely calcified lesions prior to stent implantation. Nevertheless, few data …

Background Rotational atherectomy (ROTA) is a safe and effective treatment of severe
calcified coronary lesions. It works by differential ablation of the inelastic components of the …
