DABRA (Destruction of Arteriosclerotic Blockages by laser Radiation Ablation) is a novel, minimally invasive excimer laser system that non-thermally, photochemically ablates channels in vascular blockages. Unlike many mechanical, acoustic, or thermal treatments for PAD that may damage the arterial wall, DABRA dissolves blockages with minimal vascular trauma.
“By offering a safe and highly effective treatment for patients with PAD, the DABRA laser is helping physicians save the limbs and lives of their patients throughout the world,” said Dean Irwin, CEO, Ra Medical Systems.
The Complex Cardiovascular Catheter Therapeutics (C3): Advanced Endovascular and Coronary Intervention Global Summit conference takes place from June 23 – 26 in Orlando, FL. C3 has been designed for physicians who specialize in interventional cardiology, vascular surgery, interventional radiology, podiatry, as well as fellows, residents, and other healthcare professionals interested in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
