Atherectomy
PCI balloon inflation pressures are measured using this unit.
What is atmospheres (ATM)?
This thrombectomy method utilizes thrombolytic drugs as its main method of action
What is Lytic Therapy?
This vascular closure device is available in 14F and 18F sizes.
What is Manta
Gooseneck
What is a snare?
This is the first artery that bifurcates from the arch of the aorta?
What is the Brachiocephalic?
This atherectomy method uses high-frequency ultraviolet energy to ablate plaque and thrombus.
What is Laser?
This simple thrombectomy technique uses a syringe and catheter to manually create negative pressure.
What is manual aspiration thrombectomy?
I use a suture-mediated mechanism to close an arterial access site.
What is Perclose?
The Emboshield
What is an embolic protection device?
With a carotid stent placement, the standard of care is to place this device distal to the lesion to prevent a stroke.
What is an embolic protection device?
This type of atherectomy allows the operator to target and physically excise plaque from a specific area of the vessel wall.
What is directional atherectomy?
This is the primary indication for the use of the AngioJet in the peripheral vascular system?
What is acute thrombotic occlusions in large veins or arteries
When applying a FemoStop, the dome is initially inflated to this many mmHg above the patient's systolic blood pressure for 3–5 minutes.
What is 20 mmHg
The diamondback 360
What is orbital atherectomy?
In peripheral procedures, the standard work wire for interventions is a 0.035", however, this is not the case for which two areas?
What are the carotids, renals, or BTKs?
During rotational atherectomy, a significant decrease in burr RPM may indicate this problem.
What is excessive resistance or burr deceleration?
I am designed to engage and remove large pulmonary emboli using aspiration without the primary use of thrombolytic drugs.
What is FlowTriever?
Severe back or flank pain with unexplained hypotension following femoral access should raise concern for this complication.
What is a retroperitoneal bleed/hemorrhage?
Export
What is manual thrombectomy?
Following femoral closure device deployment, the access site is dry and intact; however, the patient's foot becomes cool, pale, and pulseless. This complication should be immediately suspected.
What is acute arterial occlusion?
A calcified coronary lesion is uncrossable by a balloon but is successfully wired. The lesion is tight enough that a standard IVUS catheter cannot cross. The physician needs a device capable of creating an initial channel through the lesion before further calcium assessment and treatment.
What is rotational atherectomy?
During aspiration thrombectomy, failure to maintain appropriate aspiration may allow thrombotic material to escape and cause this complication.
What is distal embolization?
Angio-Seal creates a mechanical seal by sandwiching the arteriotomy between these two components.
What are an intravascular anchor and an extravascular collagen sponge?
Shockwave
What is Atherectomy?
A patient develops chest pain, ST-segment changes, and slow coronary flow following multiple aggressive rotational atherectomy passes. Distal embolization of microscopic debris is the suspected cause.
What is the slow-flow/no-reflow phenomenon?
