Problem
In a significant percentage of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs), clinicians face challenges in advancing guide extension catheters through complex, calcified, and tortuous vascular anatomies, hindering the delivery of essential therapies. This difficulty impacts procedural efficiency and can compromise patient safety during vascular interventions.
Solution
Vantis Vascular offers a dual-catheter system designed to overcome the challenges of delivering therapeutic devices through difficult vascular anatomies. The CrossFAST system features an inner microcatheter and an outer delivery catheter that can be advanced as a single unit when locked, providing enhanced pushability. This design facilitates smooth passage through complex, calcified, and tortuous vessels, eliminating the need for inchworming techniques. The system also provides guide catheter backup support, streamlines the insertion of treatment devices with a flared midshaft entry port, and ensures exceptional deliverability of interventional devices, including stents, to distal lesions.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes interventional cardiologists and vascular surgeons performing PCIs and other vascular interventions, particularly those dealing with complex and calcified anatomies.
