Abstract
The Simpson atherectomy catheter (10) allows the excision of obstructive material from peripheral vessels (4). For the first time this method enables the histological evaluation of percutaneously removed plaques and perhaps the study of primary lesions and their restenoses will give further insight into this rapidly progressing atherosclerotic model.
