Interventionalists Adopt Atherectomy for Calcified Lesions
Interventional cardiologists and vascular surgeons treating heavily calcified peripheral lesions are increasingly specifying atherectomy devices over standard balloon angioplasty in complex case procurement decisions. Medtronic plc and Boston Scientific Corporation have both expanded atherectomy device capacity over the past two years to serve this growing complex-case demand. At least a dozen major hospital systems have expanded dedicated atherectomy procedural volume since 2023, and manufacturers report this shift is meaningfully expanding addressable premium demand, with several additional hospital systems reportedly evaluating similar procedural expansion soon. That evidence depth is difficult for standard-device-only competitors to replicate at scale.
