About Rotational Atherectomy (Rotablation)
Rotational atherectomy, or rotablation, uses a tiny diamond-tipped burr on a catheter to grind away hard, calcified plaque inside a coronary artery. It prepares the artery so a stent can open fully.
Through an artery in the wrist or groin, a catheter and thin wire are guided to the narrowed segment. The burr spins at very high speed and breaks calcium into particles small enough for the bloodstream to carry away. A balloon and stent usually follow in the same session. You are awake with local anaesthesia and light sedation.
Usually a good fit if
- Severely calcified coronary lesions that a balloon cannot cross or open.
- Angina or a positive stress test with a heavily calcified narrowing on angiography or imaging.
- Patients who need a stent but whose calcium would stop it from expanding properly.
May need to wait if
- Blockages with a thrombus or in a vein graft, where the burr is usually avoided.
- Very poor heart pumping function or unstable condition needing extra support first.
- Inability to take dual antiplatelet medicines after a stent, which must be discussed beforehand.
How to prepare
- Bring your angiogram, CT coronary report, ECG and the list of every medicine you take.
- Expect blood tests including kidney function, because contrast dye is used; mention any contrast allergy.
- Ask your cardiologist about aspirin, clopidogrel or ticagrelor; start or adjust them only on their instruction.
- Tell the team if you take diabetes medicines such as metformin, which are sometimes held around contrast.
- Plan to stay close to the hospital for a day or two and arrange a companion for travel.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Is rotational atherectomy truly needed, or could another calcium-modifying tool such as intravascular lithotripsy be used?
- Will you use intravascular imaging (IVUS or OCT) to guide the procedure?
- How many atherectomy procedures do you perform each year?
- What are the risks, such as vessel perforation or slow flow, and how are they managed?
- How long must I take dual antiplatelet medicines?
- Do you have emergency cardiac surgery on site?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- No cardiac surgical cover or emergency capability in the same hospital.
- Atherectomy proposed without recent angiography or imaging showing calcification.
- No intravascular imaging offered for a complex calcified lesion.
- Pressure to also treat several unrelated narrowings in one sitting without a heart team plan.

No. It is a preparation step before stenting for calcium that normal balloons cannot open. A stent is still usually placed afterwards.

Typically a combination of two antiplatelet drugs for several months, then aspirin long term, but your cardiologist decides the exact plan.
