Transluminal Extraction Coronary Atherectomy

Transluminal coronary atherectomy is performed on heavily calcified and stubborn coronary lesions otherwise not amenable to a conventional percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Cutting balloon angioplasty, orbital atherectomy, and percutaneous transluminal rotational atherectomy are the main techniques employed in plaque ablation. This procedure is not appropriate to treat severely angulated vessels or thrombus laden grafts. This activity reviews the efficacy and safety of coronary atherectomy and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and treating this condition.
