Abstract:
Stentablation by rotational atherectomy has been reported as an option to correct underexpanded stents. Due to concerns of excessive stent damage, distal embolization of metal particles, excessive heat generation, and burr entrapment in the stent, stentablation has been considered the last choice to manage underexpanded stents. Here, we report a case of a stuck and entrapped atherectomy burr inside an underexpanded and undilatable stent, which made withdrawal of therotablation burr during rotational atherectomy difficult. After successful stentablation by rotational atherectomy, we were able to complete the percutaneous coronary intervention with another stent.

Ionic Bonds
When atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a more stable electron configuration they form ions. Ionic bonds are electrostatic attractions between ions with opposite charges. Ionic compounds are rigid and brittle when solid and may dissociate into their constituent ions in water. Covalent compounds, by contrast, remain intact unless a chemical reaction breaks them.
