Key result
Removal of the drive shaft sheath followed by balloon dilatation successfully freed an entrapped rotablation burr, providing a nonsurgical bailout method compatible with 6-Fr and 7-Fr guide systems.
Why the study?
Does removal of the drive shaft sheath followed by balloon dilatation allow for successful nonsurgical extraction of an entrapped rotablation burr?

Hypothesis-generating for nonsurgical bailout of entrapped rotablation burrs; prospective validation required before clinical adoption.
Sakakura et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Burr entrapment during rotational atherectomy (n=1). Removal of the drive shaft sheath followed by balloon dilatation was evaluated on Successful removal of entrapped burr. Removal of the drive shaft sheath followed by balloon dilatation successfully freed an entrapped rotablation burr, providing a nonsurgical bailout method compatible with 6-Fr and 7-Fr guide systems.
