What is CSI cardiac cath?
The Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (CSI) DIAMONDBACK 360 Coronary Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS) is a catheter-based system designed for facilitating stent delivery in patients with coronary artery lesions.
What is Viper wire?
ViperWire Advance with Flex Tip offers a combination of flexible nitinol core with a shapeable floppy tip to help physicians navigate in complex anatomy. In addition, the flexible nitinol body can reduce wire bias during atherectomy.
What is coronary orbital atherectomy?
Orbital atherectomy (OA) is an adjunctive therapy used for lesion preparation of calcified plaque before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and peripheral percutaneous endovascular interventions.
What is a rotablator procedure?
This is a procedure which attempts to “bore out” a narrowing in a coronary artery which might not otherwise respond to stenting. The test involves the insertion of a long thin catheter into an artery in the groin or wrist under local anaesthetic.
What is intravascular lithotripsy?
Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is a novel technique based on an established treatment strategy for renal calculi, in which multiple lithotripsy emitters mounted on a traditional catheter platform deliver localized pulsatile sonic pressure waves to circumferentially modify vascular calcium.
What is CSI atherectomy?
CSI® Peripheral Orbital Atherectomy System. Indications: For use as therapy in patients with occlusive atherosclerotic disease in peripheral arteries and stenotic material from artificial arteriovenous dialysis fistulae.
What is Rota angioplasty?
After placing the tube into the artery, the balloon is opened to knock out the plaque and resurrect the artery to improve blood flow. This procedure is called angioplasty. But when the plaque is too hard to be pushed aside by angioplasty, rotablation or rotational atherectomy comes into play.
What is Shockwave balloon angioplasty?
The lithotripsy emitters at the end of the catheter create pressure waves that are intended to break up the calcification that is restricting the blood flow in the vessels of the heart. This helps open the blood vessels when the balloon is inflated (angioplasty).
Can a guide wire get caught on a stent?
Use extreme caution when moving a guide wire through a non-endothelialized stent, or through stent struts into a bifurcated vessel. Use of this technique carries additional patient risks, including the risk that the wire may become caught on the stent strut.
How is CSI helping to treat arterial calcium?
At CSI, we are leading the way to help successfully treat arterial calcium by creating devices designed to restore blood flow and reduce calcium. Collaborating with leading experts to develop solutions to treat patients with advanced PAD and CAD.
What is the CSI Diamondback 360 atherectomy system?
Atherectomy System (OAS) is a catheter-based system designed for facilitating stent delivery in patients with coronary artery lesions. The OAS consists of the hand-held CSI DIAMONDBACK 360 Coronary Orbital Atherectomy Device (OAD), the CSI Saline Infusion Pump (OAS pump), the CSI VIPERWIRE Advance Coronary Guide Wire
When to remove guide wire from catheter system?
Observe the wire under fluoroscopy for tip buckling, which is a sign of resistance. Maintain continuous flush while removing and reinserting the guide wire to prevent air from entering the catheter system. Perform exchanges slowly to prevent air entry and / or trauma.
