Results for tag: "Atherectomy Catheter"

Atherectomy catheters are a type of catheter used to remove plaque from the walls of arteries. These catheters are typically used in the treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and coronary artery disease (CAD). The catheter is inserted into the artery and uses a rotating blade or laser to cut away the plaque. Atherectomy catheters are designed to reduce the risk of restenosis, a condition in which the artery becomes blocked again after a procedure. Atherectomy catheters are used in a variety of medical procedures, including angioplasty, atherectomy, and thrombectomy. They are also used in the treatment of chronic total occlusions (CTOs), a condition in which the artery is completely blocked. The atherectomy catheter market is a growing segment of the catheter market. It is driven by the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, technological advancements, and the growing demand for minimally invasive procedures. Some of the major players in the atherectomy catheter market include Boston Scientific Corporation, Medtronic, Abbott Laboratories, B. Braun Melsungen AG, and Terumo Corporation. Show Less Read more
