Description of Atherectomy:
Atherectomy is a minimally invasive procedure to remove atherosclerosis from a blood vessel. It is also used to treat peripheral arterial disease and coronary artery disease. A sharp blade attached to a catheter is used to remove plaque. The plaque is collected by the catheter and removed.

- The plaque is scraped away using the blade attached to the catheter.
- A chamber in the catheter collects the plaque for removal.
- The catheter may need to be inserted many times to remove a large amount of atherosclerosis.
