Role of Rotational Atherectomy in Percutaneous Coronary Interventions in Elderly
RA is a debulking device that physically removes plaque and reduces plaque rigidity basically altering vessel compliance, similar to that achieved by a dental drill. It works on the principle of “differential cutting”, ablating only the calcified and fibrotic “non-compliant” tissue, while retaining the elastic arterial wall. The hard and calcified plaque is not able to deflect the rota-burr and...

متن کاملPercutaneous transluminal rotational atherectomy for coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Percutaneous transluminal coronary rotational atherectomy (PTCRA) debulks atherosclerotic plaque from coronary arteries using an abrasive burr. On rotation, the burr selectively removes hard tissue. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of PTCRA for coronary artery disease in patients with non-complex and complex lesions (e.g., ostial, long, or diffuse lesions or those arising from in-s...
متن کاملHigh-speed rotational atherectomy of bilateral ureter stenosis.
A60-year-old woman was hospitalized for oliguria with bilateral impediment of both renal pelvises. Bilateral nephrostomies were necessary. Twelve months earlier, two titanium stents (Engineers & Doctors) had been implanted in the distal parts of both ureters because of diffuse ureteral stenosis after irradiation therapy for cervical carcinoma 17 years earlier. At admission, retrograde pyelograp...
