A First In Aterectomy Device Atherectomy That Works From 0.035 mm Guide Wire?
Abstract Use of 0.035 Hydrophilic wire-operated atherectomy in SFA and ILIAC artery lesions Peripheral Atherectomy devices generally work over a 0.014 or 0.018 mm guide wire. Since these wires are very thin, they can be bent during the advancement of the atherectomy device, and sometimes the tip may break off. Since the iliac region does not provide sufficient support in the curved areas of the iliac artery, it can cause dissection or even rupture in the iliac artery. On the other hand, changing 0.014 wires after passing the lesion with 0.035 wires causes additional expense. Moreover, the advancement of 0.014 wires in completely occluded SFA lesions can cause problems. Also, in corssover procedures, the thin wire does not carry the device when crossing. In this study, Peripheral Atherectomy (Uprooter Peripheral Atherectomy System, Mavera) device was used as operating with both 0.014 and 0.035 hydrophilic
