(PAD), the incidence of PAD continues to increase and morbidity remains high, especially as the population ages.
For physicians treating PAD cases, an understanding of the various treatment options, along with their benefits and
limitations is crucial. Endovascular treatment with Turbo hawk atherectomy device has promising technical and
clinical success rates.
Objective: To consider Turbo hawk directional atherectomy as an important and safer endovascular modality for
treatment of long segment Femoro-popliteal occlusive disease.
Methods: This is a retrospective study which included 40 patients diagnosed with PAD (long segment occlusion of
Femoro-popliteal arteries), who came to Ramaiah medical c.. View more»
