"Quantitative differentiation of vessel preparation modalities in a porcine in-stent restenosis model." Rami Tzafriri, Jay Budrewicz, Anna Maria Spognardi, Jenny Zeroni, Eric A. Secemski.

Aims: To evaluate and quantify surface modification effects of micro-incision and debulking preparation technologies on complex porcine peripheral in-stent restenosis lesions (ISRL).

Conclusions: OCT imaging-differentiated vessel preparation technologies in porcine peripheral artery ISRL. Debulking effects with DA were uncontrolled in location and depth, posing potential safety concerns. By contrast, FLEX VP enabled continuous controlled depth longitudinal micro-incisions along the entire lesion, offering a more predictable vessel preparation.
