Low-Speed Rotational Angioplasty: Clinical Results in 53 Patients with Chronic Vessel Occlusions
Conference paper
Abstract
Today the limits of nonoperative dilatation of atherosclerotic arteries [4] are very tight stenoses, which cannot be passed with a guide wire or balloon catheter and especially total occlusions. Occlusions of peripheral vessels more than 10 cm in length [16] and subacute coronary occlusions [8, 9, 11] can be reopened successfully only in about 50%–60% of the cases. The chance of reopening 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.
