Key result
Rotational atherectomy followed by drug-eluting stent implantation was successfully performed in a 43-year-old male with severe calcific coronary stenosis, with 0 adverse events during follow-up.
Case Report (n=1)
Rotational atherectomy followed by drug-eluting stent implantation was successfully and safely performed in a patient with severe, balloon-undilatable calcific right coronary artery stenosis.
Should not change practice in calcific CAD; leaves open need for larger studies on safety and durability.
Rotational atherectomy can effectively destroy calcified plaques and facilitate stent insertion and expansion in many cases. In this article, we present a successful application of rotational atherectomy with rotablator and drug-eluting stent implantation treatment in a 43-year-old male patient with severe calcific stenosis in the right coronary artery that could not be dilated with a high-pressure balloon. During the follow-up, the patient did not have any complaints as long as he was hospitalized, and no recent adverse events, such as acute stent thrombosis and bleeding, were observed.

Mehmet Kış (2023) conducted a case report in Severe calcific coronary stenosis (n=1). Rotational atherectomy and drug-eluting stent implantation was evaluated on Adverse events (acute stent thrombosis and bleeding). Rotational atherectomy followed by drug-eluting stent implantation was successfully performed in a 43-year-old male with severe calcific coronary stenosis, with 0 adverse events during follow-up.
