DOI: 10.1007/s00059-021-05073-8
Abstract: Rotational atherectomy (RA) has improved percutaneous treatment of severely calcified coronary lesions, but the “no-reflow” phenomenon remains a serious complication. Platelet activation by RA may contribute to no-reflow, and the use of optical coherence tomography… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ahj.2022.03.003
Abstract: BACKGROUND Severe coronary artery calcification has been associated with stent underexpansion, procedural complications, and increased rates of early and late adverse clinical events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). To date, no lesion preparation… read more here.
