Rotational atherectomy in anomalous coronary arteries

Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn. 1992 Dec;27(4):322-4. doi: 10.1002/ccd.1810270415.

Abstract

We describe two cases of high speed rotational atherectomy performed in patients with anomalous coronary anatomy. These procedures are performed with standard equipment requiring no modifications using a percutaneous femoral approach. We feel these cases clearly illustrate the facile application of this new technology to unusual anatomical situations.
