Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSII) has successfully treated the first patient in Europe with its Stealth 360 Peripheral Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS) 1.25 mm Micro Crown with GlideAssist (1.25 Micro Crown). The company has launched the 1.25 Micro Crown in Germany, in partnership with OrbusNeich, a leading provider of cardiovascular solutions.

This is a major achievement for the company toward strengthening its portfolio for the treatment of critical limb ischemia or CLI.

More About the 1.25 Micro Crown

The 1.25 Micro Crown is a minimally-invasive option to efficiently treat CLI by modifying calcified lesions below the knee and resuming blood flow to the foot.

The GlideAssist feature aids the 1.25 Micro Crown to rotate at a tedious speed of 5K rpm, thereby ensuring easier tracking and movement needed to access diffuse, calcified lesions located below the knee. The device’s dual mechanism of action of differential sanding and pulsatile forces will be critical in treating the challenging calcified lesions found below the knee.
