✦ Synopsis

Flow limiting dissection may occur after rotatlonal atherectomy and require urgent management. Important questions about the safety and effectiveness of bail-out stenting In this setting remain to be answered. We have observed that emergent stenting after rotational atherectomy can be accomplished successfully in most patients, high pressure stent dilatation is both necessary and well tolerated, and leslon debulking facilitates movement of stents into diseased arterial segments.
