Executive Summary
Aggressive Rotablator atherectomy safely improves acute gain, according to early data from the first STRATAS patients presented at the American Heart Association meeting in Anaheim (November 13th-16th). So far 32 pilot angiograms have been evaluated (see table), but eventually 500 patients will be included in the 15 site prospective randomised trial of routine versus aggressive burr use, said Dr Patrick Whitlow of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Ohio.
