Association of Excessive Speed Reduction with Clinical Factors During Rotational Atherectomy
Highlights
- • Excessive speed reduction (>5000 rpm) be avoided during rotational atherectomy (RA)
- • The aim was to examine factors associated with excessive speed reduction during RA.
- • Ostial RCA lesions were significantly associated with excessive speed reduction.
Abstract
Background
Although the manufacturer recommends that excessive speed reduction (>5000 rpm) be avoided during rotational atherectomy (RA) for safety, excessive speed reduction is sometimes observed in clinical practice. The purpose of the present study was to examine the factors associated with excessive speed reduction during RA.
