Overview
Join Dr Michael Lichtenberg (Vascular Centre Clinic Arnsberg, DE), Prof Thomas Zeller (University Heart Centre Freiburg-Bad Krozingen, DE) and Prof Andrej Schmidt (University-Clinic Leipzig, DE) as they delve into the Spur Peripheral Retrievable Scaffold System, mode of action for Spur RST (Retrievable Scaffold Therapy) in conjunction with the use of a DCB and the acute and most relevant 6, 12 and 24 month clinical endpoint outcomes that have an impact on a patient well-being. Additionally, they address the potential to improve and challenge today’s BTK endovascular treatment where POBA is still standard of care.
The information presented and the device featured is CE Mark approved for use in the EU. The Spur is indicated for treatment of de novo or restenotic infrapopliteal lesions, with reference vessel diameters ranging from 2.5 – 4.5mm, prior to treatment with a commercially available drug coated balloon.
Learning Objectives
- Learn why Spur RST is an optimal lesion preparation device in CLTI patients with non-healing wounds and severely diseased BTK vessels
- Understand the unique differences when comparing the Spur System to other lesion preparation and plaque modification devices
- Recall the clinical benefits of using the Spur System followed by DCB when compared to traditional treatment options for BTK CLTI
Target Audience
- Endovascular Interventionalists
- Vascular Surgeons
- Interventional Radiologists
- Angiologists
- Interventional Cardiologists
