Abstract
Attempted coronary angioplasty of a right coronary artery sub‐total occlusion was unsuccessful due to failure to cross the lesion with the dilatation catheter. Both fixed‐wire and over‐the‐wire systems were tried. Coronary rotational ablation was successful in reducing the stenosis and allowing successful angioplasty.Keywords
