Our clinically proven peripheral vascular portfolio provides advanced imaging and specialized treatment options so you can effectively and efficiently maximize patient outcomes.
A recently published RCT comparing IVUS guided vs Angiography guided angioplasty for the outcomes of DCB in the treatment of Femoropopliteal artery disease demonstrated statistically significant better primary patency when IVUS was used (83.8% v 70.1%, p=0.01)
A recently published RCT comparing IVUS guided vs Angiography guided angioplasty for the outcomes of DCB in the treatment of Femoropopliteal artery disease demonstrated statistically significant better freedom from CD-TLR when IVUS was used (92.4 v 83.0%, p=0.03)
A recently published RCT comparing IVUS guided vs Angiography guided angioplasty for the outcomes of DCB in the treatment of Femoropopliteal artery disease demonstrated statistically significant better sustained clinical improvement when IVUS was used (89.1 v 76.3%, p=0.02)
In VIDIO, in 35 patients IVUS changed plan from no treatment to stent placement; in 13 patients it changed number of stents planned; in 6 patients it changed plan from no treatment to other intervention; in 3 patients it changed plan from treatment to no treatment.5
Phoenix treats a broad range of tissue types, from soft plaque to calcified arteries, and can be used for lesions above and below the knee.6,7 Phoenix presents proven clinical evidence in over 1,000 patients resulting in <1% symptomatic distal embolization with no filter used. 8-14
Rectangular scoring edges lock the device in place and are designed to drive outward expansion with up to ~15–25 times the force of a conventional balloon15. AngioSculpt has low dissection rates and minimal perforations16,17
Hydrophilic coating and low profile tapered tip for crossing challenging lesions
“Anytime I go inside a blood vessel, I use intravascular ultrasound …the quality of my intervention goes up significantly.”

[7] The Phoenix atherectomy 1.5 mm tracking catheter is indicated for vessels of 2.0 mm in diameter or above, the 1.8 mm tracking catheter is indicated for vessels 2.5 mm in diameter or above. The Phoenix 2.2 mm tracking and deflected as well as the 2.4 mm deflecting catheters are indicated for vessels of 3.0 mm in diameter or above. While the 1.5mm and 1.8 tracking as well as the 2.2 mm tracking and deflecting catheters are indicated for femoral, popliteal, or distal arteries located below the knee, the Phoenix 2.4 mm deflecting catheter is indicated for femoral and popliteal only. Refer to product IFU for detailed instructions.
