Abstract
The percutaneous treatment of vascular disease with balloon angioplasty may be limited by inability to cross a lesion, acute re-occlusion and the relatively high long-term restenosis rate after a primarily successful inter-vantion [1, 2], For these reasons, new techniques using either mechanical or other energy forms such as laser [3, 4], high-frequency [5] or ultrasound [6], which attempt to remove material are being developed. In this report we will focus on rotational atherectomy and devices developed with the goal of removing obstructing plaque material. In particular, we will focus on our results with the Simpson directional atherectomy catheter and its use in peripheral vascular disease.
