Abstract
Mechanical rotational atherectomy with the Rotablator is widely used for percutaneous coronary revascularization, but the ideal debulking strategy remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare the immediate and late results after Rotablator using two treatment strategies: Large burrs (burr/artery ratio of >0.7) to achieve maximal debulking (lesion debulking strategy) or small burrs (burr/artery ratio 0.7), but with fewer angiographic complications.
