ABSTRACT:
A method of restoring lost blood flow capacity to an artery is disclosed. The artery is enlarged by enlarging the flow path of a plaque-ridden segment of the artery using a plaque-removing instrument. The instrument is introduced through a small arteriotomy located remote from the segment. Next, a vascular lining is inserted through the small arteriotomy to a position co-extensive with the segment where the lining is secured.
