Complex percutaneous coronary intervention of the left coronary artery with rotational atherectomy in an 84-year-old dialysed patient
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coronary artery disease in patients with end-stage renal disease occurs several dozen times more often than in the general population. Atherosclerotic changes in coronary arteries in dialysed patients are more diffused and calcified, which hampers the percutaneous coronary angioplasty. We present a case of an 84-year-old dialysed patient, in whom complex percutaneous coronary intervention of the left anterior descending artery was performed with the use of rotational atherectomy.

A 82-year-old patient with multiple comorbidities and angina, in spite of optimal drug therapy, was submitted to coronary angiography, which showed three-vessel disease with left main coronary artery involvement and severe coronary artery calcification. Coronary artery bypass grafting surgery was contraindicated and the patient was referred for percutaneous coronary intervention, which was carr...

A 50 year-old man was admitted for elective percutaneous coronary intervention. After rotational atherectomy was performed, perforation of the second diagonal coronary artery occurred, resulting in cardiac tamponade. Emergency pericardiocentesis was performed and intravenous protamine was administered. After tamponading the coronary perforation with prolonged intracoronary balloon inflation, co...

BACKGROUND Heavy coronary artery calcification is responsible for stent underexpansion, which is associated with increased in-stent restenosis. Here we report a case in which optical coherence tomography (OCT) demonstrated that the metal component of an underexpanded stent previously implanted in a heavy calcified lesion had been completely removed after ablation with rotational atherectomy. ...

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 b...
