What is it about?
Regard to perctaneous coronary intervention, there are complex lesions with severe calcified plaque. At these lesions, balloon dilatation angioplatsy often makes poor lumen gain so that atherectomy devices are appleid. Rotablator is one of the atherectomy devices. We sought the way of getting larger lumen gain than conventional use in aspect of both in vitro and in vivo.

Why is it important?
We discovered the way of getting larger lumen gain than conventional use in aspect of both in vitro and in vivo, and we found that low-speed following high-speed rotational atherectomy could get larger lumen gain. This technique can be easily applied in daily practices.
Perspectives
As a co-author, participating in this article was a great pleasure as it has author and co-authors with whom I have had long standing collaborations. This article also lead to a better perfomance in daily practice about PCI procedure.
