Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the effects of the Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS) on vascular health in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and calcified lesions, assessing both immediate and long-term outcomes.
- This involved evaluating 7 patients before and six months after treatment using a combination of diagnostic angiograms and intravascular optical coherence tomography (IV-OCT).
- Results showed a 6% average increase in luminal volume after treatment, with most plaque removed being fibrous tissue, and a new algorithm for IV-OCT image classification was validated against expert analysis with 82% agreement.
In order to assess the vascular effects of rotational orbital atherectomy, we performed intravascular imaging with virtual histology intravascular optical coherence tomography in a 72-year-old man with critical limb ischemia of the right lower extremity.

Here we investigate the biophysical mechanism underlying this phenomenon by careful examination of possible photobiological effects after absorption-driven light-tissue interaction. The rat sciatic nerve preparation was stimulated in vivo with a Holmium:yttrium aluminum garnet laser (2.
