Abstract
The Task Force on Rotational Atherectomy of the Japanese Association of Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics (CVIT) proposed the expert consensus document to summarize the techniques and evidences regarding rotational atherectomy (RA) in 2020. Because the revascularization strategy to severely calcified lesions is the hottest topic in contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), many evidences related to RA have been published since 2020. Latest advancements have been incorporated in this updated expert consensus document.

[PMID: 34031007 DOI: 10.1016/j.carrev.2021.05.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2021] [Revised: 05/07/2021] [Accepted: 05/11/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
Although high-speed rotational atherectomy has been successfully used in selected cases of stent underexpansion secondary to heavy peri-stent calcification, a higher risk of burr entrapment demands extreme caution and surgical back-up on site. The main cause of this complication is the lack of diamond dust on the back end of the burr, which prevents backward ablation of tissues when retracted. To date, only few reports of successful burr retrieval using percutaneous bailout techniques have been published. We report a case of burr entrapment within a previously implanted left circumflex artery stent which was successfully recaptured using the dual catheter technique; following the retrieval the patient underwent routine percutaneous coronary intervention.

Abstract
Burr entrapment is a rare but serious complication during rotational atherectomy (RA). The Japanese have termed this the Kokeshi phenomenon named after a wooden doll found in northern Japan consisted of a simple trunk but a large head akin to the Rotablator (Mechery et al., 2016; Kaneda et al., 2000). The reason underlying this complication is the lack of diamond dust on the back end of the burr (Lin et al., 2013). The burr is olive-shaped and has diamond coating at its distal surface for antegrade ablation. The proximal part is smooth without diamonds, which prevents backward ablation of tissues when retracted (Lin et al., 2013; Dahdouh et al., 2013). Rota entrapment usually needs surgical management with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. To date, only few cases of successful non-traumatic retrieval using nonsurgical bailout techniques have been published (Grise et al., 2002). We report a case of burr entrapment within the left anterior descending (LAD) artery which was successfully retrieved by combination of multiple maneuvers and the patient underwent routine PCI following the retrieval.

Abstract
Chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary interventions can be highly complex and are associated with an increased risk of complications, such as perforation, acute vessel closure (which can lead to rapid haemodynamic compromise if it involves the donor vessel), and equipment loss or entrapment. Awareness of the potential complications and meticulous attention to equipment position and patient monitoring can help minimise the risk of complications and allow prompt treatment should they occur.

Abstract
Rotational atherectomy (RA) has been widely used for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to severely calcified lesions. As compared to other countries, RA in Japan has uniquely developed with the aid of greater usage of intravascular imaging devices such as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) or optical coherence tomography (OCT). IVUS has been used to understand the guidewire bias and to decide appropriate burr sizes during RA, whereas OCT can also provide the thickness of calcification. Owing to such abundant experiences, Japanese RA operators modified RA techniques and reported unique evidences regarding RA. The Task Force on Rotational Atherectomy of the J apanese Association of Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics (CVIT) has now proposed the expert consensus document to summarize the contemporary techniques and evidences regarding RA.

Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention relieves symptoms in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease resistant to optimal medical therapy and alters the natural history of acute coronary syndromes. However, adverse procedural outcomes may occur during the intervention. Knowledge of possible complications and their timely management are essential for the practicing cardiologist and can be life-saving for the patient. In this review, the authors summarize potential complications of percutaneous coronary intervention focusing on their practical management.

Abstract
Rotablator burr entrapment occurring during rotational atherectomy is a rare but serious complication that can lead to coronary occlusion and require emergency cardiac surgery. Although several bailout techniques for stuck burrs have been proposed, no definitive methods for removal have been established. We report here a difficult case of a stuck rotablator burr, in which various techniques failed to retrieve the burr. It was ultimately removed using the subintimal tracking and reentry (STAR) technique with a 3-g tapered tip hydrophilic wire. This modified STAR technique, which was originally developed for percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusion, may be useful as a bailout technique in patients with a firmly stuck rotablator burr that cannot be removed by using standard procedures.

An entrapped rotablator burr is a rare but life-threatening complication because retrieval is difficult. Although emergent surgical removal is a reliable option for this complication, it is invasive. There are various methods to retrieve an entrapped burr by bailout endovascular approaches. We present two cases of successful rescue of stuck rotablator burr entrapment using a Kiwami straight catheter (4 Fr, Heartrail II, Terumo, Tokyo, Japan).

Abstract
Entrapment of the burr within calcified lesion is an uncommon, but serious complication during rotational atherectomy and usually needs surgical retrieval. We report a case series of this complication and also review the possible mechanisms, such as kokesi phenomenon or insufficient pecking motion with decreased rotational speed. We also review the potential techniques ever proposed to rescue this complication percutaneously, including simple manual traction, balloon dilation to release the trap, snaring the burr as distal as possible for forceful local traction and wedging the burr with a child catheter to facilitate retrieval. Gentle pecking motion of the burr for sufficient ablation and shortening the run less than 15 s may avoid such complications. Interventional cardiologists using the rotablator should be familiar with the tips and tricks to avoid and rescue this complication.

Abstract
Rotational atherectomy is the treatment of choice for calcified coronary lesions. It should not be used routinely but only in some appropriate cases, especially when the successful deployment of a stent may be uncertain. Complications are rare but serious. Several cases of "off label" use, however, have been reported in the literature without additional complications.

Abstract
Complications of retained or entrapped equipment in the coronary system are still encountered during angioplasty procedures. Although these complications are rare, it is extremely difficult to retrieve such equipments. We report on two cases that a retained IVUS catheter or an entrapped filter wire were retrieved from the coronary system using more simplified technique that does not involve in the usage of snare or any other retrieval tool. After placing an additional guidewire and balloon alongside an equipment, it was easily retrieved from the coronary system just after the proximal balloon deflation.

Abstract
Burr entrapment is a rare but serious complication during rotational atherectomy (RA). Although emergent surgical removal is a reliable option for this complication, surgical removal is invasive and takes several hours. Balloon inflation just proximal to the burr was the previously-reported nonsurgical option for burr removal. However, this method needed large guide catheter lumen (≥8 Fr). We present a case of 67-year-old male on chronic hemodialysis. During RA for severe stenosis of the right coronary artery, the RA burr was entrapped. We cut off the drive shaft, the drive shaft sheath, and the RA wire together near the advancer, and then we removed the drive shaft sheath. After removing the drive shaft sheath, the 2.5 mm balloon easily entered the 7-Fr guide catheter. We inflated that balloon to a pressure of 18 atm. The burr was easily removed immediately after balloon deflation. Removal of the drive shaft sheath following balloon dilatation is a new, nonsurgical bailout method for a burr that becomes entrapped during RA. Since removal of the drive shaft sheath following balloon dilatation can be applied to 7 Fr as well as 6 Fr guide systems, this method may be of considerable benefit when operators use 7 Fr or 6 Fr systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although burr entrapment is a rare complication of the Rotablator, it is extremely difficult to retrieve a fixedly entrapped burr without surgical procedure. CASE REPORT An 84-year-old male with effort angina had heavily calcified coronary trees as well as severe stenosis in the mid LCx, and moderate stenosis in the proximal LCx, and in the LMT. We planned to perform rotational atherectomy in the LCx lesions. Using 7 Fr Q-curve guiding catheter and Rotawire floppy, we began to ablate using 1.5-mm burr at 200,000 rpm. Because the burr could not pass the proximal stenosis, we exchanged the wire for Rotawire extrasupport and the burr for 1.25-mm burr, and restarted the ablation at 220,000 rpm. Although the burr could manage to pass the proximal stenosis, it had become trapped in the mid LCx lesion. Simple pull on the Rotablator, rotation of the burr, and crossing the Conquest (Confianza) wire could not retrieve it. Thus, we cut off the drive shaft and sheath of the Rotablator, inserted 5 Fr 120-cm straight guiding catheter (Heartrail ST01; Terumo) through the remaining Rotablator system, pushed the catheter tip to the lesion around the burr as well as simultaneously pulled the Rotablator, and finally could retrieve it. Then we implanted stents in the LCx and in the LMT without difficulty. CONCLUSIONS The 5 Fr straight guiding catheter might be useful for retrieving an entrapped burr (1.25-mm burr).
