Rotational Atherectomy in the Era of Cost Containment
03/31/2015
Interventional cardiologists are frequently asked to reduce procedural costs, and devices that are initially thought to be more expensive can sometimes reduce overall costs. This was the case at our institution with direct Rotawire and...
