    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and devices for predicting restenosis, and for treating atherosclerosis to prevent or reduce the incidence of restenosis. Methods of predicting restenosis in a stenosed peripheral artery may include quantitative histology of the vessel. For example, a method of treating a stenosed artery (and particularly a peripheral artery) may include the steps of determining a level of hypercellularity and one or more of the lipid-richness and extent of inflammatory cell inclusion in the tissue. An index of restenosis based on the hypercellularity and lipid richness and/or extent of inflammatory cell inclusion in the tissue may be determined. Systems for treating or preventing restenosis may include one or more imaging modalities for imaging tissue regions and determining the level of hypercellularity and one or more of the degree of lipid-richness and the extent of inflammatory cell inclusion in the tissue region.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for very precise and efficient delivery of e.g. viscous nutritive cell matrices and/or drugs into an exact point in the human body using minimally-invasive surgical techniques. Embodiments are compatible with modern catheter access and endoscopic techniques and a disposable-plus-capital-equipment business model separating the cost of the procedure between a reusable and a disposable component. It also represents a substantial step forward in terms of safety with no high voltage or high pressure components present in the body. The inherent risk of using this design to deliver substances into the human body is significantly reduced compared to standard hydraulic methods. Mechanical trauma associated with needles is avoided with this invention, and the method is also compatible with tortuous anatomy such as the coronary or brain arteries.

    Abstract: Described herein are atherectomy catheters, systems and methods that include a distal tip region that may be moved laterally so that its long axis is parallel with the long axis of the main catheter body axis. Displacing the distal tip region laterally out of the main catheter body axis exposes an annular blade and opens a passageway for cut tissue to enter a storage region within the catheter. The annular blade may be internally coupled to a drive shaft that rotates the blade, and thus the exposed blade edge may have the same crossing profile (OD) as the rest of the distal end region of the catheter. Also described herein are gear-driven atherectomy devices that may use a cable drive shaft to actuate the annular blade. Both push-to-cut and pull-to-cut variations are described, as are methods for cutting tissue and systems including these atherectomy catheters.
