Rotational atherectomy is performed infrequently (∼3.5%) during chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for two indications: treatment of balloon uncrossable and balloon undilatable lesions. Use of rotational atherectomy in CTO PCI was associated with high success and acceptable complication rates. Rotational atherectomy remains a "must have" device for interventional cardiologists performing complex PCI.
