Trapped Rotablator: kokesi phenomenon.
We experienced a rare complication of rotational atherectomy. The burr was trapped at the angled, calcified narrowing in the left anterior descending coronary artery. The burr was retrieved after the resection of the pulmonary artery and the left coronary artery. We will discuss the cause and prevention of this complication. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 49:82-84, 2000.
