Current status of rotational atherectomy.
Despite the increasing use of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and intracoronary stent placement for the treatment of obstructive coronary artery disease, a large subset of coronary lesions cannot be adequately treated with balloon angioplasty and/or intracoronary stenting alone. Such lesions are often heavily calcified or fibrotic and undilatable with the present balloon technolo...

متن کاملThe current status of peripheral atherectomy.
Recent advances in endovascular technology have generated a variety of alternative procedures and instruments in treating peripheral arterial occlusive disease. Mechanical atherectomy has been developed as an alternative to conventional percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) because of its limitations. Atherectomy devices can selectively remove atheroma by cutting or pulverising it in athe...
متن کاملRotational atherectomy: an Update
As we known, drug-eluting stents (DES) reduce the risk of restenosis and represent an important advance in coronary intervention. Newer-generation DES with thin struts releasing limus-family drugs from durable or biodegradable polymers have further improved clinical outcomes, as compared with early-generation DES releasing sirolimus or paclitaxel. The risk of stent thrombosis has become exceedi...
متن کاملRotational atherectomy: Technical update.
Percutaneous coronary intervention is currently the most common form of revascularization for symptomatic coronary artery disease. In elderly, diabetic and renal patients, there is an increased prevalence of calcified coronary disease. Rotational atherectomy (RA) can be useful in the treatment of these lesions. Plaque removal was initially proposed as an alternative to balloon angioplasty, henc...
