The present study evaluated acute and late results with stenting following directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) for the lesions in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). Between April 1995 and January 1997, 200 LAD lesions with > or =3 mm reference vessel diameter were treated with co

We report initial successful results using a novel retrograde cutting (pullback) atherectomy catheter (PAC) to treat complex bifurcation coronary artery dlsease, in 2 patients. In one case a bifurcatlon lesion involving the left anterlor descending and a large diagonal branch was treated without the
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
## In -stent restenosis remains a clinical therapeutic challenge. Rotational atherectomy (RA) is an attractive treatment option as it may cause less vascular injury than balloon angioplasty (BA) and, therefore, limit further neointimal response. In an animal model of coronary in-stent restenosis,
