Rotablation for Stent Underexpansion: An Effective Alternative

Cardiol Res. 2018 Jun;9(3):171-172. doi: 10.14740/cr670w. Epub 2018 Jun 6.

Abstract

A 75-year old female was evaluated for recurrent angina. She had an underexpanded stent. Conventional methods failed to achieve a full stent expansion. Rotablation resulted in an excellent angiographic outcome and full stent deployment. The patient remains angina-free at 1-year follow-up.
