PARK CITY, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dr. Lee Butterfield M.D., interventional cardiologist with Palmetto Cardiology in Columbia, South Carolina, was the first to use a new mechanical thrombectomy (blood clot removal) system to extract a 1 inch long blood clot from a saphenous vein to coronary artery bypass graft.
The patient presented with a long blood clot in an aged saphenous vein bypass graft diagnosed during a cardiac catheterization procedure. Dr. Butterfield used the combination of a protective filter, the new ASPIRE RX-LP6 Mechanical Thrombectomy System, and a stent to remove blood clots and dilate the stenosis.
