A catheter with a cutting or grinding tip is threaded through the blood vessels to a narrowed heart artery, and the hardened plaque in the vessel wall is shaved or drilled away to restore blood flow. Balloon widening is carried out in the same session when it is needed. It is used for blockages too hard or calcified to open with a balloon alone.
