What It Is

The Jetstream Pathway PC Atherectomy System is an advanced medical device designed to remove atherosclerotic plaque and thrombus from peripheral arteries. It operates using a rotating cutting mechanism that safely debulks and aspirates occlusive material. This device is particularly useful in restoring blood flow in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), offering a minimally invasive alternative to more extensive surgical procedures.

FDA-Cleared Indications

  • Removal of plaque from peripheral arteries in patients with occlusive vascular disease.
  • Removal of thrombus from peripheral arteries.
  • Use during endovascular treatment intended to improve blood flow in diseased peripheral arteries.

Clinical Applications

  • Atherectomy of peripheral arterial lesions in patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease.
  • Mechanical thrombectomy of thrombotic material in peripheral arteries.
  • Plaque and thrombus removal during lower-extremity peripheral revascularization procedures.
  • Lesion preparation before adjunctive balloon angioplasty or stent placement when clinically appropriate.

Practical Considerations

  • The device is selected according to the treated vessel diameter, lesion characteristics and access anatomy; operators should follow the specific device labeling for compatible guidewires, catheters and operating technique.
  • Atherectomy requires fluoroscopic imaging, vascular access and appropriate training in peripheral endovascular procedures.
  • Potential complications include vessel dissection or perforation, distal embolization, thrombosis, bleeding at the access site and need for additional treatment.
  • MRI safety should be confirmed in the current device labeling and with the treating facility before an MRI examination; do not assume the system or any retained component is MRI safe.
  • Contraindications, warnings and limitations in the FDA-cleared instructions for use should be reviewed before treatment, particularly for severely calcified, tortuous or otherwise unsuitable vessels.
