Safety and Efficacy of Stentablation with Rotational Atherectomy for the Management of Underexpanded and Undilatable Coronary Stents
Abstract
Introduction
Coronary stent underexpansion is associated with in-stent restenosis and few interventions are available for the management of undilatable underexpanded stents. Stentablation (SA) with rotational atherectomy (RA) is a unique application and has previously been described with encouraging results. Data regarding SA is limited to case reports and small case series; therefore, reasonable concern persists regarding procedural safety and long-term outcomes.
