Abstract

Today the limits of non-operative dilatation of atherosclerotic arteries (4) are very tight stenoses, which cannot be passed with a guide wire or balloon catheter, and importantly, total occlusions. Occlusions of peripheral vessels of more than 10 cm in length (16) and subacute coronary occlusions (8, 9, 11) can be reopened successfully only in about 50%–60% of cases. The chance of recanalization decreases with the duration of occlusion and the amount of calcification. The new technique called low speed rotational angioplasty (6, 14, 15) uses a very flexible, blunt, rotating catheter.
