Percutaneous retrieval of a detached rotational atherectomy burr
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rotablation (rotational atherectomy) is an acknowledged method of percutaneous treatment of highly calcified coronary artery lesions that cannot be treated with traditional angioplasty. The complexity of the technique and usage of very specific equipment can contribute to the development of uncommon complications. We present a case of percutaneous retrieval of a damaged rotational atherectomy burr in a 74-year-old male patient.

A case of an entrapped rotational atherectomy burr.
Rotational atherectomy is a widely used modality in percutaneous coronary revascularization, especially for heavily calcified coronary arteries [1–5]. Due to the unique mechanism of rotational atherectomy, there have been reports of unusual complications, including fracture of coronary wire, guidewire bias, coronary spasm leading to myocardial infarction, and fracture of the drive shaft causing...
متن کاملMechanism and management of burr entrapment: A nightmare of interventional cardiologists
Entrapment of the burr within calcified lesion is an uncommon, but serious complication during rotational atherectomy and usually needs surgical retrieval. We report a case series of this complication and also review the possible mechanisms, such as kokesi phenomenon or insufficient pecking motion with decreased rotational speed. We also review the potential techniques ever proposed to rescue t...
متن کاملThe Application of Rotational Atherectomy in PCI of Coronary Chronic Total Occlusions
Objective: The aim of the study is to investigate the effi cacy, complication rate and predictors of rotational atherectomy (RA) usage after successful guidewire crossing during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO). Methods: A single center experience of 525 consecutive patients from October 2010 to June 2014. A total of 587 CTO lesions were treated...
متن کاملSuccessful Rotational Atherectomy for an Angulated Calcified Lesion in an Anomalous Right Coronary Artery Using the “Mother-and-Child” Technique
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) involving the anomalous coronary artery is challenging with respect to difficulty in achieving stable catheterization. Rotational atherectomy (RA) can facilitate severely calcified lesions to improve stent delivery and stent expansion; however, its utility in tortuous and angulated coronary arteries is limited with difficulty in delivery of the RA burr. ...
متن کاملIncidence and Determinants of Complications in Rotational Atherectomy
The interest in rotational atherectomy (RA) is growing in the current percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), mainly because of the expansion of PCI indications to more complex atherosclerotic lesions as a consequence of the improved restenosis rate after drug-eluting stent evolution. Recent rate of RA use has reached 1% to 3% based on total PCI numbers in European countries and the United St...
