Heavily Calcified Coronary Lesions Preclude Strut Apposition Despite High Pressure Balloon Dilatation and Rotational Atherectomy: In-Vivo Demonstration With Optical Coherence Tomography

Heavily calcified lesions (HCL) continue to present challenges that are not always solved by modern low-profile, non-compliant high-pressure balloons, or bladed balloons. Uncrossable or unexpandable lesions need lesion modification, using ablating devices such as rotational atherectomy. Three cases...
