SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF STENT ABLATION WITH ROTATIONAL ATHERECTOMY FOR MANAGEMENT OF UN-DILATABLE AND NON-SALVAGEABLE CORONARY STENTS

Plaque modification with rotational atherectomy (RA) is an established approach for treatment of severely calcified coronary lesions which facilitates stent delivery and optimizes stent expansion. The safety and feasibility of non-conventional applications of RA such as stent ablation (SA) of un-
