Procedural Step
The RCA was engaged with 7Fr JR 3.5 GC.The RCA was wired with standard work-horse wire which was exchanged to rota-floppy wire over a microcatheter.Initial Rota burr advancement was difficult due to non coaxial alignment due to anomalous high posterior origin of RCA. The catheter was hence deep throated into the RCA over a 2.0x15mm balloon and checked for co-axiality in 3 diff views. Then Rotablation was done with a 1.5 mm burr at 1,80,000 rpm. There was transient slow flow and CHB which was treated with coronary vasodilators and temporary pacing. After the polishing run, OCT was performed to the RCA for vessel sizing, plaque and calcium assessment. It showed cuts in the sub-intimal calcification with controlled dissections.Following this, serial graded pre-dilatations were done to the RCA with 2.75x15 and 3x15 NC balloon at 16-24 ATM. Subsequently, two DES 2.75x 40mm and a 3,5-3.0x60 mm DES were implanted at nominal pressures and thoroughly postdilated.

final 3d flythough RCA.mp4Case Summary
▪During Rotablation of RCA, care should be taken regarding proper burr orientation with respect to vessel lumen before commencement of burring.
▪Long segment calcific disease is more likely to cause slow flow and its attendant complications.
▪Intravascular imaging after the rota-run is helpful in forming stenting strategies and requirement for further plaque modification.
▪Due care should be taken regarding post-rota vessel optimization with further balloon dilatation before implanting stents.
▪Stenting should be followed by careful post-dilatation with final intravascular imaging to confirm adequate stent deployment.
