Abstract
The use of debulking devices improved in the last few years, due to the expanding indications to percutaneous coronary angioplasty, involving an elevated number of coronary stenoses with heavy calcification. Rotational atherectomy has become one of the most used devices in this challenging scenario. The aim of this review is to analyze the components and the use of the Rotablator System (Boston Scientific) and to better understand helpful tips and tricks in order to face the most common complications occurring during the procedure.Entities:
