Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The Arrow-Fischell pullback atherectomy catheter is designed to circumferentially debulk and retrieve coronary atheroma. We performed pullback atherectomy before balloon angioplasty or stenting in 41 patients. The device crossed the target lesion in 38 (93%) and obtained tissue in 36 (88%). All procedures were completed successfully and without myocardial infarction, emergency cardiac surgery, or death. Complications included major spasm in 8 patients, postprocedural abrupt closure in 1, and otherwise uncomplicated arterial perforation in 2. Pullback atherectomy can be performed relatively safely, but is more difficult than balloon angioplasty, obtains less tissue than directional atherectomy, and is associated with significant limitations. |
