Does rotational coronary atherectomy with adjunctive balloon angioplasty improve angiographic outcomes in patients with ostial lesions?
Rotational atherectomy followed by balloon angioplasty yields high procedural success and significant angiographic improvement for ostial coronary lesions.
Zimarino et al. (1994) conducted an observational in Ostial lesions (n=63). Rotational atherectomy with adjunctive balloon angioplasty was evaluated on Procedural success. Rotational atherectomy with adjunctive balloon angioplasty for ostial lesions achieved a procedural success rate of 92%, with diameter stenosis decreasing from 75% to 14% (P<0.001).
