PROCEDURES AND PRODUCTS
Carotid Artery Stenting
A small mesh, metal tube called a stent is used to reopen the blocked section of the carotid artery. It is intended to act like scaffolding to prop open the diseased section. It may prevent or slow future plaque buildup.
Coronary Atherectomy
Coronary atherectomy is a catheter based procedure intended to remove calcified (hardened) plaque that is blocking an artery and blood supply to the heart.
Coronary Atherotomy
A coronary atherotomy is similar to a balloon angioplasty procedure but unlike a typical angioplasty balloon, the atherotomy balloon has microsurgical blades mounted on its surface.
Coronary Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)
Intravascular ultrasound is the use of high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the interior of the coronary arteries.
Embolic Protection in Saphenous Vein Grafts in Coronary Arteries
A coronary saphenous vein graft (SVG) intervention should utilize an embolic protection device to catch and remove debris in order to prevent it from flowing downstream and blocking smaller arteries.
