Rotational atherectomy in anomalous coronary arteries.
We describe two cases of high speed rotational atherectomy performed in patients with anomalous coronary anatomy. These procedures are performed with standard equipment requiring no modifications using a percutaneous femoral approach. We feel these cases clearly illustrate the facile application of this new technology to unusual anatomical situations.
