diamondback 360 degree orbital atherectomy system for treatment of a-v shunt stenosis

Cardiovascular Systems

Summary: The Diamondback 360 Orbital Atherectomy System is designed for the treatment of a-v shunt stenosis. It is FDA-cleared and supported by multiple studies highlighting its efficacy and safety in treating calcified lesions.

FDA Clearance Information

Pathway 510K
Decision Date August 30, 2007
Product Code MCW
Device Class Class 2
Evidence 19 studies

The Diamondback 360 Orbital Atherectomy System was cleared by the FDA via the 510(k) pathway on August 30, 2007. It is manufactured by Cardiovascular Systems and classified as a Class 2 device.

What It Is

The Diamondback 360 Orbital Atherectomy System is a minimally invasive device used to treat stenosis in arteriovenous shunts. It operates by orbiting a diamond-coated crown to sand away plaque, improving blood flow.

Clinical Applications

This device is commonly used in clinical settings to manage a-v shunt stenosis and peripheral arterial disease, particularly in cases involving calcified lesions. It is utilized in both coronary and peripheral vascular interventions.

Evidence Summary

The literature includes six studies, ranging from 2008 to 2023, comprising randomized controlled trials and observational studies. These studies evaluate the device's efficacy and safety in treating calcified lesions.

Reported Outcomes

Published studies report favorable procedural outcomes with the Diamondback 360, including improved blood flow and reduced stenosis in treated vessels. Optical coherence tomography imaging has shown effective ablation of calcified lesions.

Safety Profile

Reported complications include potential vascular injury and embolization, though these are generally infrequent. The device's safety profile is considered acceptable based on current evidence.

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 fully understand the long-term efficacy and safety of the device in diverse patient populations.
