In calcified lesions, optimal stent placement and expansion may prove to be challenging. Lesion preparation is necessary to facilitate optimal stenting in calcified lesions, for which orbital atherectomy can used. Therefore the aim of this study is to: 1. Show that orbital atherectomy effectuates optimal stent expansion 2. Investigate the mechanics of lesion preparation when using orbital atherectomy Patients presenting with a significant and severely calcified lesion in need of orbital atherectomy will undergo optical coherence tomography guided orbital atherectomy and stent placement.
