Abstract
Atherectomy might be considered as an alternative approach in patients with PAD who have heavily calcified stenotic lesions, especially in areas with high biomechanical stress, where stent implantation is undesirable. Results after 1 year demonstrated a significant decrease of Rutherford score, an increase in ABI, and a reasonable patency rate.
