Summary: The JetStream Navitus (JS) atherectomy device (Boston Scientific) is a rotational cutter with aspiration capability to treat infrainguinal arterial obstructive disease. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) assessment of the number of blades up (BU) runs needed to achieve optimal tissue debulking in in-stent restenosis (ISR) using the JS is unknown.
