Summary: The Diamondback 360 Coronary Orbital Atherectomy Device is used for treating severely calcified coronary lesions. It is FDA-cleared and supported by 15 studies highlighting its safety and efficacy in clinical settings.

FDA Clearance Information

Pathway PMA
Decision Date April 10, 2019
Product Code MCX
Device Class Class 3
Evidence 19 studies

The Diamondback 360 Coronary Orbital Atherectomy Device was cleared through the FDA PMA pathway on April 10, 2019. Manufactured by Cardiovascular Systems, it is classified as a Class 3 device.

What It Is

The Diamondback 360 is an orbital atherectomy system designed to treat severely calcified coronary lesions. It operates by sanding away plaque using a diamond-coated crown, facilitating stent placement in percutaneous coronary interventions.

Clinical Applications

This device is commonly used in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) where severe calcification is present, which can impede stent deployment and expansion. It is particularly useful in complex coronary artery disease cases.

Evidence Summary

The available literature includes 15 studies, comprising randomized controlled trials and observational studies, conducted between 2022 and 2023. These studies evaluate the device's efficacy and safety in real-world and clinical trial settings.

Reported Outcomes

Published studies report that the Diamondback 360 is effective in preparing calcified coronary lesions for stent placement, reducing procedural complications associated with stent underexpansion. The device has shown positive outcomes in both clinical trials and real-world applications.

Safety Profile

Reported complications include procedural failure and access site complications, although these are minimized with the use of less invasive guiding catheters. Overall, the device has a favorable safety profile in the studies reviewed.

Evidence Limitations

Current evidence is limited by the small sample sizes and the lack of long-term follow-up data. Further research is needed to establish definitive long-term outcomes and to explore the device's efficacy across diverse patient populations.
