[Rotacs: a device used in coronary and peripheral arterial recanalization].
The authors report their preliminary results with the Rotacs system in the reopening of chronic coronary artery occlusion by low-speed rotational angioplasty. This system improves the percentage of coronary recanalisation in cases where it is impossible to pass the guide wire alone. It seems to be an effective, low-cost complementary tool for the treatment of this type of lesion.
