We report treatment of a lesion with coronary stent underexpansion due to heavily calcified plaque. Conventional balloon angioplasty was attempted for in-stent restenosis, but the lesion was undilatable despite 25-atm inflation pressure. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) revealed stent underexpansion due to heavily calcified plaque. Rotational atherectomy was performed using a stepped burr approach, after which repeat IVUS revealed marked ablation of the stent-calcium complex. Adjunctive balloon angioplasty then easily resulted in full balloon and stent expansion, with an excellent angiographic and IVUS result. The patient's hospital course was uneventful.
