Rotational atherectomy combined with cutting balloon to optimise stent expansion in calcified lesions: the ROTA-CUT randomised trial

A randomized trial comparing rotational atherectomy followed by cutting balloon angioplasty versus rotational atherectomy and non-compliant balloon angioplasty in 60 patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention of calcified coronary lesions found comparable stent expansion and safety outcomes between groups.
