Does high-speed coronary rotational atherectomy achieve satisfactory procedural results in patients with coronary lesions?
High-speed coronary rotational atherectomy demonstrated a 92% procedural success rate, though it carries risks of serious complications such as myocardial infarction and emergency bypass.
Gilmore et al. (1993) studied this question.
