title: Surgical management of complications of percutaneous coronary rotational atherectomy interventions.
abstract: Percutaneous coronary interventions have progressed from angioplasty and intracoronary stents to the more aggressive rotational atherectomy devices. These technically complex procedures are typically performed on the more diseased anatomy, which causes the likelihood of complications to be more common. In this report, we present our experience with three unusual complications and their surgical management.
