An atherectomy catheter for performing an atherectomy procedure, the atherectomy catheter includes a catheter body defining one or more lumens, a core wire extending through a core wire lumen of the one or more lumens of the catheter body, and an abrasive bead slidably mounted to the core wire. The core wire is configured to be coupled to an excitation device and operation of the excitation device causes the abrasive bead to rotate about and slide longitudinally along the core wire.
