The use and clinical outcomes of rotablation in challenging cases in the drug-eluting stent era

Abstract

RA with DES implantation in very complex, heavily calcified coronary lesions can achieve very low complication and low out-of-hospital major adverse cardiac event rates even in high-risk patients despite use limited by lack of insurance reimbursement. The study results convince us to sustain and even broaden the use of this novel, but underused, device in the DES era.
