Effectiveness of rotational atherectomy in aortocoronary saphenous vein grafts

In carefully selected patients with prior coronary bypass surgery, rotational atherectomy can be safely and effectively performed for anastomotic saphenous vein graft lesions. Rotational atherectomy can also be used through a saphenous vein graft to treat lesions located in the distal native vessels...
