Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the effectiveness and success rate of the TurboHawk peripheral plaque excision system for treating femoral popliteal artery blockages over the mid-term, based on different GLASS grades.
  • Researchers analyzed clinical data from 141 patients treated with TurboHawk between January 2018 and July 2022, monitoring factors like limb ischemia symptoms, technical success rates, and primary patency rates.
  • Results showed a 100% technical success rate with significant improvements in limb ischemia symptoms and a primary patency rate of 98.58%, with no major complications during follow-up, indicating TurboHawk is an effective treatment for chronic total occlusions.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of TurboHawk plaque rotation system combined with drug-coated balloon in treating lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) of diabetes patients, a total of 145 diabetic patients with LEAD from March 2015 to September 2016 were recruited in our study. Lower extremity arterial disease was diagnosed by ultrasound and CT angiography (CTA). According to the surgical method, 65 cases underwent TurboHawk plaque rotation combined with drug-coated balloon (group A), 80 cases underwent simple drug-coated balloon expansion (group B).
