Impact of stentablation with rotational atherectomy in coronary microcirculatory function

Stentablation (SA) has been used as a bailout method for undilated, under-expanded stents, but one reason that SA is associated with a high rate of major adverse cardiac events may be its adverse effect on microcirculation. Consequently, appropriate lesion preparation should always be considered for heavily calcified lesions to avoid such complications.
