Fracture of Rotational Atherectomy Burr: Pre‐Fracture Signs, Mechanisms, and Management Strategies
Burr fractures during RA are rare but potentially serious complications. Significant proximal tortuosity or enlargement and non-coaxiality between the RA device and the coronary artery may increase the risk of burr fracture. Recognizing pre-fracture warning signs and understanding the underlying mechanisms are crucial for minimizing complications and optimizing procedural safety.
