TCTAP A-093 Novel Debulking Model for Rotational Atherectomy System Named ATSUSHIKUN

Effective Debulking With the JETSTREAMTM Atherectomy System

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States, affecting 8 to 12 million people. The incidence of PAD increases in the presence of well-defined atherosclerotic risk factors, including cigarette smoking, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and advanced age, and is estimated to affect > 20% of adults aged 55 years and older. When sym...

Debulking Of Chronic Total Occlusions With Rotational Atherectomy Before Stenting (DOCTORS): A Prospective Multicenter Pilot Study

Rotational atherectomy: an Update

As we known, drug-eluting stents (DES) reduce the risk of restenosis and represent an important advance in coronary intervention. Newer-generation DES with thin struts releasing limus-family drugs from durable or biodegradable polymers have further improved clinical outcomes, as compared with early-generation DES releasing sirolimus or paclitaxel. The risk of stent thrombosis has become exceedi...

Peripheral directional atherectomy evaluated with a rotational digital angiography system.

BACKGROUND One of the factors that affect the recurrence rate after peripheral directional atherectomy (DA) is the degree of residual stenosis. A new method of peripheral DA to reduce residual stenoses was evaluated with a rotational digital angiography (RDA) system that provides both angiography and fluoroscopy at multiple projections within 360 degrees. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between March 19...

Rotational atherectomy: Technical update.

Percutaneous coronary intervention is currently the most common form of revascularization for symptomatic coronary artery disease. In elderly, diabetic and renal patients, there is an increased prevalence of calcified coronary disease. Rotational atherectomy (RA) can be useful in the treatment of these lesions. Plaque removal was initially proposed as an alternative to balloon angioplasty, henc...
