title: Brachial rotational atherectomy.
abstract: The brachial approach adds a new dimension to rotational atherectomy. The two cases presented included a large ectopic right coronary artery and a right internal mammary graft where both outcomes were successful. These cases demonstrate that the brachial approach can facilitate rotational atherectomy when greater guide support is necessary.
