A catheter including an elongate drive shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, an ablation burr disposed at the distal end expandable between a first position and a second position, wherein in the second position has a greater transverse dimension than in the first position. The catheter of the present invention can include a mechanism for positioning the burr eccentrically within a vessel lumen. In this context, expansion means that the burr can ablate a lumen having a larger diameter than the diameter of the lumen of the guide catheter to which the device is advanced.

Steerable ablation burr

A catheter including an elongate drive shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, an ablation burr disposed at the distal end which can be drawn proximally to engage with a burr deflector surface of the drive shaft in order to be displaced transversely to remove plaque.
