When rotational atherectomy is not enough [PDF]
AbstractExtreme coronary calcification may require rotational atherectomy to create a navigable intravascular lumen followed by intravascular lithotripsy to fracture areas of deep calcification to allow for successful percutaneous coronary intervention.

Interventional Treatments for Femoropopliteal Arterial Disease and Recent Updates
Peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) of the femoropopliteal artery is commonly caused by atherosclerosis. It can present with varying clinical symptoms depending on the degree of disease, ranging from intermittent claudication to critical limb ...

Managing calcified coronaries: The bugaboo of percutaneous coronary intervention
Percutaneous coronary intervention of lesions with heavily coronary artery calcium (CAC) still is a challenging subset for interventionists, with incremented risk of immediate complications, late failure due to stent underexpansion and malapposition, and

Successful Retrieval of a Fractured and Detached Crown From a Coronary Orbital Atherectomy System
We report a rare case of crown fracture and detachment from a coronary orbital atherectomy system. During orbital atherectomy in an angulated and calcified coronary vessel, the crown was completely detached and left distal to the stenosis.

The mechanism of directional coronary atherectomy
An attempt was made to assess the mechanism of directional coronary atherectomy using different methods of analysis. Quantitative coronary angiography was used as the gold standard to assess the immediate results of atherectomy, and a comparative ...

Atherectomy to treat femoropopliteal atherosclerotic disease
Atherectomy as an endovascular modality to treat peripheral arterial disease has gained traction over the past 10 years. Unlike most other available technologies, atherectomy works by physically debulking atherosclerotic plaque via a variety of ...

ABSTRACT Background Calcified plaque (CP) detachment (CD) and calcium fracture (CF) can occur following coronary intravascular lithotripsy (IVL). The extent to which CF alone facilitates stent expansion during CP modification with IVL remains unclear. Aims This study aimed to investigate the clinical implications of IVL‐induced CD.
