  • Tissue-Removing Catheter with Flexible and Stiff Portions
    Publication number: 20250040955
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a tissue-removing catheter for removing tissue in a body lumen. The tissue-removing catheter includes an elongate drive member and a tissue-removing element. The elongate drive member has proximal and distal ends with a length and a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal and distal ends. The elongate drive member is sized and shaped to be received in the body lumen and rotates about its longitudinal axis. The elongate drive member further includes first and second longitudinal portions. The first longitudinal portion is proximal to and stiffer than the second longitudinal portion. The tissue-removing element is operatively coupled to the distal end of the elongate drive member and rotates by the elongate drive member to remove the tissue in the body lumen.
