Key result
In 1,000 consecutive patients, modifications in rotational atherectomy techniques and equipment over time improved procedural success and reduced complication rates despite increasingly complex lesions.

Does the evolution of technique and equipment in rotational atherectomy improve procedural success and reduce complications?
Evolution of rotational atherectomy techniques and equipment has improved procedural safety and success, allowing for treatment of more complex lesions.
Kini et al. (1999) conducted an observational in Patients undergoing rotational atherectomy (n=1,000). Evolution of rotational atherectomy technique and equipment vs. Earlier time periods (Period I and II) was evaluated on Procedural success rate and complication rates. In 1,000 consecutive patients, modifications in rotational atherectomy techniques and equipment over time improved procedural success and reduced complication rates despite increasingly complex lesions.
