Using rotational atherectomy for calcium modification
Dr. Sinjini Biswas

Dr Sinjini Biswas: Using of rotational atherectomy for calcium modification
Dr. Sinjini Biswas presents the case of a 69 year old male with a CCs class III angina, during which rotational atherectomy was performed successfully to debulk a calcific nodule allowing a facilitation of equipment and improve stent expansion.

Clinical Cases

Nodular and eccentric LMS-LAD calcification, by rotablation and IVUS guided stenting
Dr. Andrew Ladwiniec

Nodular and eccentric LMS-LAD calcification, treated by rotablation and IVUS guided stenting

Dr. Andrew Ladwiniec presents in this short video how to treat a Nodular and eccentric LMS-LAD calcification using IVUS and rotational atherectomy. You will learn about:

  • The utility of rotablation to treat eccentric and nodular calcification
  • The importance of adequate lesion preparation to achieve optimal stent expansion in left main stem PCI
  • The role of IVUS in identifying fractures in calcification
  • The importance of adequate stent expansion to attain good clinical outcomes
