Rotational Atherectomy
Rotational atherectomy (RA) has been the most used atherectomy modality since its first inception in1988. RA uses high speed rotation (140,000 - 180,000 rpm) to ablate inelastic plaque, resulting in debris averaging 5µm in size24. The main focus of RA in the era of DES stent has been on plaque modification rather that plaque debulking with more papers showing improved PCI success rates.
