Four male patients, 38 to 59 years old (mean 49 +/- 2.5), with angina and the angiographic features has been the classical indications for the method, underwent directional coronary atherectomy. Vessels treated were, respectively, left anterior descending artery (LAD), right coronary artery (RCA), saphenous vein graft (SVG) to LAD and SVG to left marginal branch. Reductions to 50% or less of the internal diameter was considered a satisfactory result. Early success was obtained in all four patients. Obstructions of 75 to 95% (mean of 83 +/- 7.5%) were reduced to 0-25% (mean 12 +/- 5%) after atherectomy. Only one patient died suddenly five days after de procedure. So, directional coronary atherectomy may represent a reliable and safe method for special situations.
