Description: Percutaneous transluminal procedure for removing atheromatous plaque from the coronary arteries. Both directional (for removing focal atheromas) and rotational (for removing concentric atheromatous plaque) atherectomy devices have been used.

Pathologic Constriction (Stenosis) 05/01/1996 - "BACKGROUND: Rotational atherectomy is best suited for treating calcific stenoses, but the ability of rotational atherectomy alone to optimize lumen dimensions in large vessels is limited; this is only partly improved by adjunct balloon angioplasty" 01/01/1998 - "In conclusion, stenting of the left anterior descending artery ostial lesion results in a significantly lesser post-procedure residual stenosis, improved in-hospital outcome, a lesser need for target lesion revascularisation and much improved event-free survival on follow-up as compared to directional coronary atherectomy" 07/01/1990 - "Directional coronary atherectomy results in significantly improved postprocedure angiographic appearances due to significantly less severe residual stenosis and lower incidence of dissection." 01/01/2005 - "OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to investigate the efficacy of stenting after rotational atherectomy (rotastent) for ostial LAD and ostial LCX stenosis in patients with diabetes" 01/01/2005 - "Efficacy of stenting after rotational atherectomy for ostial LAD and ostial LCX stenosis in patients with diabetes."

Coronary Stenosis (Coronary Artery Stenosis) 10/15/1990 - "Both coronary atherectomy and coronary stenting more effectively reduced the severity of the coronary stenosis when compared with balloon angioplasty" 10/15/1990 - "To compare the immediate efficacy of these 3 interventions, the angiographic morphology and the severity of the residual coronary stenosis were quantitatively evaluated in 18 patients undergoing coronary atherectomy and in 21 patients treated by endoluminal coronary stenting" 01/01/1992 - "Other interventional methods of treating coronary artery stenosis, including directional and rotational coronary atherectomy, endoluminal stenting, and laser angioplasty, have been used in preliminary clinical studies" 08/01/1991 - "We conclude, with the limitation of a preliminary study, that rotational atherectomy with the transluminal extraction catheter is a useful procedure to relief coronary stenosis of the coronary arteries." 10/15/2003 - "Intravascular ultrasound-guided directional coronary atherectomy for unprotected left main coronary stenoses with distal bifurcation involvement."
