Comparison of complications with a 1.25-mm versus a 1.5-mm burr for severely calcified lesions that could not be crossed by an intravascular ultrasound catheter

In conclusion, the incidence of complications following RA was comparable between the 1.25-mm and the 1.5-mm burrs as the initial burr for IVUS-uncrossable lesions. The present study provides insights into the selection of an appropriate burr for IVUS-uncrossable lesions.
