Rotational atherectomy of calcified ostial saphenous vein graft lesion with long term follow-up: a case report

Rotational atherectomy, though widely used for calcified and difficult lesions, has not been used in vein graft lesions. We performed rotational atherectomy on a 75-year-old male with a calcified ostial lesion in an 11-year-old vein graft. No complications were encountered and good result was obtained. Angiogram at 10 months revealed no restenosis.
