Key Clinical Results​

  • Minimum lumen area increased from 4.3 [3.0, 5.5] mm2 to 7.4 [6.6, 10.3] mm2 (p<0.0001)​
  • Lumen symmetry (minimum/maximum lumen diameter) increased from 0.70 [0.60, 0.78] to 0.79 [0.73, 0.87] (p=0.02) after treatment​
  • Calcium reduction resulted in a 78% [70, 86] increase in lumen area​
  • A convex shape of the superficial calcium was seen in 67% of cases before treatment and in 26% after treatment (p=0.0004)​
  • Although the arc of superficial calcium did not change, the arc of reverberation increased significantly​

1.  Pre-Intervention

Lumen Area = 5.2mm2

 

2.  Post-JETSTREAM

Lumen Area = 6.9mm2

 

3.  Post-Balloon

Lumen Area = 15.2mm2
