Description:
Endovascular procedure in which atheromatous plaque is excised by a cutting or rotating catheter. It differs from balloon and laser angioplasty procedures which enlarge vessels by dilation but frequently do not remove much plaque. If the plaque is removed by surgical excision under general anesthesia rather than by an endovascular procedure through a catheter, it is called ENDARTERECTOMY.

- " This study was undertaken to assess if the introduction of new angioplasty devices (autoperfusion balloon catheters, stent and atherectomy) could ameliorate early and late results of prompt percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in patients with refractory unstable angina" 09/11/2007
- " ER chaperones also showed higher expression in atherectomy specimens from patients with unstable angina pectoris than in specimens from those with stable angina" 09/01/2006
- " Criteria for elective IABP support were (1) lesion located in the distal segment of the left main (bifurcation lesion), (2) left ventricular ejection fraction <40%, (3) atherectomy, (4) unstable angina, and (5) critical disease of the right coronary artery" 07/08/2003
- " Subacute closure lesions were compared with a control group (selected to be 3 times the abrupt closer group) matched by procedure date (within 6 months), age, gender, stable or unstable angina, lesion location, and additional treatment (balloon angioplasty or atherectomy)" 05/01/2003
- " RESULTS: The mean (+/- SD) percentage of macrophages in atherectomy specimens from patients with unstable angina was greater than in specimens from patients with stable angina (21% +/- 14% vs. 13% +/- 10%, P = 0.01); similar results were seen when complex coronary lesions were compared with simple lesions (23% +/- 13% vs. 9% +/- 8%, P <0.001)"

- " We conclude that the risk of distal embolization after saphenous vein graft angioplasty, although potentially reduced, is not eliminated with transluminal extraction atherectomy, particularly in lesions with superimposed thrombus." 01/01/1994
- " Primary culture success was improved by the presence of organized thrombus in the plaque and in relation to increased maximal cell density of the atherectomy specimen" 02/15/1996
- " This study compares the ability of intracoronary ultrasound (ICUS) to identify thrombus by means of actual criteria, with the histologic studies of tissues removed by directional atherectomy in patients treated previously with thrombolytic therapy" 02/01/1995
- " The large potential of intracoronary imaging in the setting of interventional cardiology and future developments are also discussed, including the use of combined devices (ultrasound catheter-balloon angioplasty, ultrasound-atherectomy, ultrasound-laser); three dimensional reconstruction; new devices design, such as looking forward catheters; tissue characterization with the goal of differentiating between different types of plaque, and between soft plaque and thrombus; study of biomechanical properties of the atherosclerotic plaque, trying to distinguish between "good" and "bad" plaques" 05/01/2004
- " We present the first case reported of fracture of a coronary guidewire during thrombectomy of a massive thrombus in a recently occluded coronary bypass graft with the recently developed atherectomy catheter X-Sizer"

- " Atherectomy, due to its ability to excise (extraction atherectomy) or pulverize (rotational atherectomy) atheroma and the internal elastic lamina, may result in improved procedural outcome" 11/06/2002
- " Relationship between residual atheroma burden and neointimal growth in patients undergoing stenting: analysis of the atherectomy before MULTI-LINK improves lumen gain and clinical outcomes trial intravascular ultrasound substudy." 03/01/1997
- " This article will focus on the applicability of intravascular ultrasound to the study of vascular remodelling in de novo atherosclerosis, in restenosis after balloon angioplasty, atherectomy and stenting, in saphenous vein grafts and in the coronary arteries of transplanted hearts." 04/01/2007
- " AIMS: To understand wound healing after drug-eluting stents (DES) placement in humans, we studied the histology of in-stent restenosis (ISR) tissue obtained by atherectomy from bare metal stents (BMS) and DES in comparison with de novo atherosclerosis"
