Cardiovascular Systems

First Commercial Launch of Peripheral Orbital Atherectomy System Outside the United States Reports Cardiovascular Systems

9/19/18: Dr. Bryan Yan, Associate Professor, Chinese University of Hong Kong, who treated the first patient in Hong Kong, said, “Patients with severely calcified peripheral arteries can be difficult to treat due to the limitations of traditional angioplasty or stenting. This can also place patients at risk for subsequent complications including repeat interventions and amputation. The commercialization of the Stealth 360® OAS in Hong Kong provides physicians with a minimally invasive treatment option for this complex patient population. I am very satisfied with the procedural outcome for my patient because I was able to avoid implanting a stent in the distal superficial femoral artery and I look forward to continuing treatment of similar patients with this technology.”

The EXCeL registry will track the real-world effectiveness and safety of the device, and I look forward to enrolling additional patients with challenging, highly angulated aortic anatomies and seeing the long-term value of this device.”
