[Initial clinical results in the treatment of peripheral arterial occlusive diseases using new percutaneous atherectomy equipment (REDHA-CUT)].
In 11 female and 13 male patients 29 symptomatic femoropopliteal occlusions were treated with a novel intraluminal endarterectomy device (REDHA-CUT). The pre-existing stenoses (71 +/- 9%) could be reduced to 29 +/- 18% (means +/- s.d.). The arteriectomy procedure with this device took on average 5 +/- 3 min. Neither perforations nor dissections nor distal embolisms or any other complications were observed. In comparison with other percutaneous transluminal angioplasty procedures the clinical use of the novel REDHA-CUT device is safe, simple and fast and allows for the retrieval of plaque biopsies.
