DOI: 10.1002/ccd.29255
Abstract: A severely calcified lesion is the most challenging entity in endovascular therapy (EVT) for below‐the‐knee (BTK) arteries. In this report, we introduce a challenging plaque modification technique known as the inner PIERCE technique. A 65‐year‐old… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ccd.29853
Abstract: Heavily calcified coronary lesion is one of the worst enemies for interventional cardiologists. These difficult to dilate lesions consume time and equipment, require proficiency with adjunctive calcification modifying tools like rotational atherectomy (RA), and are… read more here.

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: 10.1155/2022/1399510
Abstract: Background Rotational atherectomy (RA) is a tool for calcium modification, but there is a risk of losing the side branch in left main coronary artery (LM) bifurcation lesions, resulting in disastrous consequences. Microcatheter-protected RA with… read more here.
