Successful coronary lithotripsy after unsuccessful rotational atherectomy – use of complementary tools for treatment of undilatable calcified coronary artery stenosis

Despite the progress in percutaneous treatment of coronary artery disease, massively calcified atherosclerotic lesions still constitute a challenge. Rotational atherectomy, capable of modifying the atherosclerotic plaque, known as debulking, has become the gold standard in the treatment of calcified...
