Abstract :
Although rotational atherectomy (RA) has been successfully
performed in selected cases of stent underexpansion, a higher
risk of burr lodgement demands extreme caution and surgical
back-up on site (1–4). We report a case of transradial (TR) RA
of a previously implanted, underexpanded stent in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and successful nonsurgical management
of burr lodgement
