| atherectomy |
A procedure for opening coronary arteries blocked by cholesterol and other fatty substances. It is often performed during an angioplasty. The surgeon uses a rotating shaver on the end of the catheter that is threaded into the coronary artery. The high-speed rotating grinds the material blocking the artery into minute particles. Balloon angioplasty may then be used on the artery.
