Intercostal embolization of a stuck rotational atherectomy burr
02 Mar 2021
An elective right coronary artery PCI was scheduled in an 83-year-old gentleman. Due to the presence of severely diffuse and calcified disease, rotational atherectomy was decided, but the burr got entrapped in the severely calcified and tortuous proximal segment of the artery...
We CARE: a joint initiative by PCR and Stent – Save a Life!
07 May 2021
Paris, France. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, patients have been consistently deprived of timely cardiovascular treatment. This is due in part to measures taken in response to the sanitary crisis, but it is also due to patients' own unwillingness to seek medical help, even...
