Small-Size vs Large-Size Burr for Rotational Atherectomy.

CONCLUSION: In the majority of cases, RA can be successfully performed using smaller-sized burrs while achieving a high procedural success rate. Notably, our study also highlights the overuse of large sheaths and catheters to deliver small burrs. These results further support the contemporary strategy of using 6 Fr guide catheters, thereby increasing the possibility of using the radial approach for more complex interventional procedures.
