Use of the Orbital Atherectomy System in Isolated, Chronic Atherosclerotic Lesions of the Popliteal Artery

The treatment of isolated calcified lesions involving the popliteal artery are demanding and they often require stent placement to achieve acceptable luminal gain. This study evaluates the safety and performance of the orbital atherectomy system (Cardiovascular Systems Inc.) and percutaneous translu...
