AB  - BACKGROUND: ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has traditionally been a 
      relative contraindication for the utilization of rotational atherectomy (RA). 
      However, in severely calcified lesions, RA may be necessary to facilitate stent 
      delivery. CASE SUMMARY: Three patients who present with STEMI are found to have 
      severely calcified lesions on intravascular ultrasound. Equipment was unable to 
      pass the lesions in all three cases. Rotational atherectomy was therefore 
      performed to allow for stent passage. All three cases had achieved successful 
      revascularization with no intraoperative or post-operative complications. The 
      patients remained angina-free the rest of their hospitalization and at the 4 
      month follow-up. DISCUSSION: Rotational atherectomy for calcific plaque 
      modification during STEMI when equipment will not pass is a feasible and safe 
      therapeutic option.
