In this new video, Dr. Patrick Muck, Chief of Vascular Surgery; Program Director Vascular Fellowship & Integrated Residency at Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati, shares his firsthand experience with iCHOR Vascular’s iSWEEP thrombectomy treatment system.
Dr Muck begins with an interesting back-story on Dr. Thomas Fogarty’s development of the surgical Fogarty balloon methodology at Good Samaritan Hospital sixty years ago, to set up his detailed discussion on how iCHOR’s endovascular Fogarty solutions are capable of radically changing the landscape for peripheral thrombectomy procedures.
The video includes a description of iSWEEP’s key components along with a step-by-step discussion of clinical usage scenarios. He also includes an in-depth look at a specific clinical case from a colleague, Dr. Bob Beasley, who uses the system in his office-based lab (OBL) setting to clear arterial occlusions above the knee and below the knee including embolic events. He presents a nice case study of an occluded SFA stent, restoring brisk flow with minimal blood loss.
The summary describes how iSWEEP has been successfully used in over 100 patients, with no adverse events, no vessel damage, minimal blood loss, and an overall procedure success rate of 94 percent.
