Challenge with Calcium

Calcium buildup in the vessels can limit blood flow in coronary and peripheral vessels — but treating it isn’t straightforward.The Diamondback 360 and Stealth 360 orbital atherectomy systems are innovative solutions to address the challenges with treating calcium in your coronary and peripheral interventions.

CSI Blue Coronary Cardiovascular System in a Circle
Complex Coronary Arterial Disease (CAD)
  • Calcific lesions can be difficult to identify on angiography1
  • Of patients undergoing PCI procedures, there is a 6% to 20% risk of severe coronary calcification2,3
  • Calcium inhibits stent placement, full stent expansion, and wall apposition, leading to poor clinical outcomes (higher MACE, TLR)4-6
International Portfolio
Complex Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)
  • Calcium buildup in the vessels of PAD patients can reduce procedural short and long term success
    • Decreased ballon success and increased risk of flow limiting dissections7
    • Increased risk of vessel recoil8
    • Decreased success with drug-coated balloons9
How can treatment options be improved?
  • Issues with dilation and stent expansion
  • Uneven drug distribution and risk of restenosis
  • Potential for longer treatment time and hospital stay — meaning more resources and higher costs10
  • Improving procedural success and long-term clinical outcomes
  • Reducing restenosis and TLR
  • Optimizing stent delivery, expansion, and distribution

The CSI Solution

CSI has the only atherectomy system with a diamond-coated crown that orbits 360-degrees, specifically designed to target calcium and treat the entire vessel wall.


How it Works

Orbital Atherectomy combines differential sanding and pulsatile forces to remove calcium and improve vessel compliance.

International Portfolio Solutions
Bi-directional Sanding of Superficial Calcium11,12,16,17
  • Healthy elastic tissue flexes away from the crown, minimizing damage to the vessel with average particulate size = 2μm
CSI Cardiovascular systems Inc Vibration Icon
Pulsatile Forces11,13,14,16
  • Crown is mounted eccentrically
  • Rotation of the crown over the wire produces high frequencies or vibrations that expand into the vessel tissue
  • These pulsatile forces plus differential sanding affect deeper plaque and fracture calcium

The Dual-Action Advantage

Sanding surface lesions and modifying deep calcium both matter.

Coronary Atherectomy Solution

For optimal vessel prep, only Diamondback 360 Orbital Atherectomy System has a dual-action technology that sands intimal and fractures medial calcium simultaneously11,16 to treat severely calcified lesions.
