Rotational atherectomy with a new device: Initial clinical experience

These initial results demonstrate that the Xtrak device can safely debulk long segments of diffusely diseased arteries in a single pass while simultaneously retrieving the occluding material. Supplementary angioplasty may be required in the majority of cases. Larger studies are required to determine whether debulking followed by balloon dilation improves the long-term prognosis in patients with chronic lower limb occlusions.
