An Oscillatory Atherectomy Device Incorporating a Novel Burr Design and Torque Limiting System for the Safer Treatment of Advanced Coronary Artery Disease

Unmet NeedCardiovascular disease is the leadind cause of death globally and the most significant cost contributor to the health care system. When coronary plaques become heavily calcified - which is typical in older patients with long-standing coronary disease and those with co-morbidities such as chronic kidney disease - the compliance of the vessel...

Method to Measure Wall Motion and Wall Thickness Using Contrast Enhanced Fluoroscopy

C11284 Method to Measure Wall Motion and Wall Thickness Using Contrast Enhanced Fluoroscopy BackgroundMost invasive angiograms end in the measurement of heart function by performing a ventriculogram. Performance of left ventriculography (LVG) requires additional contrast agent (about 30 – 40ml), catheter and time. Scientists at Johns Hopkins...
