[A new intraluminal endarterectomy instrument].
In 40 human cadaver arteries endarterectomy was performed using a new intravascular device. The system and technique are described. According to our preliminary laboratory experiences the new device proofed to be save and effective. It will allow us to approach more complex lesions not ideal for balloon angioplasty. Clinical investigations will be performed in the near future.
