Definition
English
:
Endovascular procedure in which atheromatous plaque is excised by a cutting or rotating
catheter
. It differs from balloon and
laser angioplasty
procedures which enlarge vessels by dilation but frequently do not remove much plaque. If the plaque is removed by surgical excision under general
anesthesia
rather than by an endovascular procedure through a
catheter
, it is called
ENDARTERECTOMY.
