AMIcath® Perfusion Catheter
CE approved
The AMIcath® Perfusion Catheter allows the passage and recanalization of thrombotic lesions using the Dotter effect (increasing balloon profile) instead of balloon pre-dilatation. This approach reduces thrombus fragmentation and distal embolization.
After successful lesion passage the AMIcath's distal holes allow for injection of contrast dye for assessment or injection of lytic drugs (e.g. Abciximab, Adenosine, Nitroprussiate, Verapamil).
Data of a 100 patient registry*:
- occlusion crossed in 91 %
- TIMI 2-3 flow obtained in 80 % of patients
- reduced risk of embolization (4 %, compared to 15 % in balloon pre-dilatation series)
- AMIcath changed the strategy of primary PCI in 74 % of participating physicians
