Risk factors for the development of slow flow during rotational coronary atherectomy.
We investigated the clinical and angiographic risk profile of slow flow during rotational atherectomy. Lesion length, angina at rest, and use of beta blockers correlated independently with slow flow in the univariate as well as in the multivariate analysis.
