Abstract

Some embodiments of a rotational atherectomy device can remove (partially or completely) stenotic lesions in blood vessels by rotating one or more abrasive elements in an orbital path to abrade and breakdown the lesion. In particular implementations, multiple abrasive elements are arranged along a distal portion of a drive shaft with an improved configuration so as to facilitate both efficient navigation into smaller blood vessels below the ankle or in the heart and effective orbital paths for abrading stenotic material in such smaller vessels.
