Executive Summary
A minimally invasive endarterectomy procedure could enhance recovery and cut hospital stay for occlusive femoropopliteal disease, according to preliminary data from a Dutch/US study. Researchers from St Antonius' Hospital, Niewegein, and Stanford University used a double-ringed cutting device to remove the intima from 36 patients with long occlusive or multiple stenotic lesions through a single incision.
