ABSTRACT:
An atherectomy apparatus and method is disclosed for the purpose of surgical excision of atheromas which typically consist of plaque deposits that cause narrowing (stenosis) of an artery. The apparatus, called a pullback atherectomy catheter, cuts and collects obstructive material into a collection chamber as the catheter is pulled back through obstructive material within a human vessel such as an artery.
