Abstract
Abstract Pullback atherectomy catheter (20) for removing stenotic plaque (P) from the blood vessels of a patient. The atherectomy catheter (20) includes a collection chamber (40), cylindrical cutting blades (38), a guide cylinder (24), and metal tip (21). Guide wire (50) and guiding catheter (10) are used to place the atherectomy catheter (20) into the blood vessel adjacent to stenotic plaque (P). When the atherectomy catheter (20) is pulled back through the stenotic lumen it cuts off stenotic plaque (P) and collects such stenotic plaque (P) in chamber (40).
