The "Skipping Rope" Technique: A Novel Strategy for Distal Burr Entrapment During Rotational Atherectomy.

We describe the "skipping rope technique" for managing burr entrapment during rotational atherectomy. Sequential counterclockwise rotational force is applied to the drive shaft, generating alternative torque dynamics. This maneuver provides a safe method to disengage a stuck rotaburr, offering operators an additional strategy for this challenging complication.
