The Auryon Laser Atherectomy System has been cleared by the FDA to treat infrainguinal arterial disease including in-stent restenosis

A prospective, multicenter, randomized study evaluating the use of Jetstream Atherectomy (JS) followed by DCB in comparison to the use of plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA) followed by DCB alone in the treatment of complex lesions in femoropopliteal arteries in subjects with claudication (Rutherford Clinical Category (RCC) of 2-4) (complex lesions are defined as long (≥ 10 cm) lesions, or moderately or highly calcified lesions, or chronic total occlusions irrespective of length).

Patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy may continue to experience persistent chest pain and shortness of breath despite conventional medical therapy and/or revascularization. The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of taking Ranexa versus placebo in patients with ischemic (due to blockages) cardiomyopathy treated with optimal conventional medical therapy and/or percutaneous revascularization.
