To establish a method for managing dislodged stents that cannot be retrieved or crushed.
Perform ablation using rotational atherectomy
Start with the smallest burr
Gradually upsize the burr during the procedure
Increased procedural success with gradual upsizing of the burr.
Effective ablation outcomes when employing this technique.
Abstract
A dislodged stent that cannot be retrieved or crushed should be ablated with rotational atherectomy. Starting with the smallest burr and gradual upsizing increases procedural success.
