We report the adverse event rates after rotational atherectomy (RA) with contemporary drug-eluting stent implantation and compare RA to cutting balloon angioplasty and balloon-only angioplasty in the all-comers ADAPT-DES trial.

We report the adverse event...

We aimed to illustrate one of the mechanisms of rotational atherectomy burr entrapment in a coronary stent where the burr was rolled up in the stent’s struts. Physicians performing rotational atherectomy should be aware of this complication...

The optimal treatment for recurrent in-stent restenosis (ISR) is uncertain. The authors describe a feasible combined treatment for recurrent ISR using neointimal debulking and ablation of underexpanded stents by rotational atherectomy...

Rotational Atherectomy to Enable Sirolimus-Eluting Stent Implantation in Calcified, Nondilatable De Novo Coronary Artery Lesions

09/05/2008

The sirolimus-eluting stent has demonstrated its angiographic and clinical efficacy in the suppression of coronary neointimal hyperplasia in a number of randomized clinical trials. Observational studies have supported the trial results in...
