Directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) of a saphenous vein bypass graft to the left coronary artery was performed percutaneously from the brachial artery approach using a 7F endomyocardial biopsy sheath. Initial positioning was accomplished wlth a left bypass graft catheter inserted in the sheath. T
We describe here a technique for performing directional coronary atherectomy to right coronary artery saphenous vein bypass grafts from the brachial approach using a long Introducer sheath system. This technique has the advantages of 1) avoiding femoral artery trauma and 2) ease of access into the b
Directional atherectomy is an alternative device for treatment of highly eccentric or proximal coronary lesions considered less suitable for balloon angioplasty. We report a patient with exuberant neointimal proliferation, extending into the left main coronary artery, following directional atherecto
