CSI’s Stealth 360 Peripheral Orbital Atherectomy System 1.25-mm Micro Crown With GlideAssist Introduced in Europe
December 16, 2019—Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (CSI) announced that the first patient in Europe has been treated with the company’s Stealth 360 peripheral orbital atherectomy system (OAS) 1.25-mm Micro Crown with GlideAssist.
According to CSI, the 1.25 Micro Crown is designed with flexibility for tortuous vessels and tight bends below the knee, and the GlideAssist feature enables the crown to spin at a slow speed of 5,000 rpm, facilitating tracking and smoother movement to access diffuse, calcified lesions below the knee.
CSI and its distribution partner, OrbusNeich, are introducing the 1.25 Micro Crown in Germany. Michael Lichtenberg, MD, Chief Physician, Clinic for Angiology, Hochsauerland Hospital in Arnsberg, Germany, successfully treated the first peripheral patient with the 1.25 Micro Crown.
“CSI’s new Stealth OAS 1.25 Micro Crown with GlideAssist is a welcome addition to my toolbox for treating challenging critical limb ischemia, or CLI, cases," commented Dr. Lichtenberg in the announcement. "In particular, the device’s dual mechanism of action of differential sanding and pulsatile forces will be instrumental in the treatment of the challenging calcified lesions I often see in lesions below the knee.”
