  • Peripheral Artery Disease in Vulnerable Patient Populations: Outcomes of Orbital Atherectomy in Native Americans Compared to Non-Native Americans. A Single-Center Experience in Rural Oklahoma

    Abstract

    Background/purpose

    Although the incidence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and amputations is higher in Native Americans (NA) than Caucasians, the study of revascularization NA is limited, resulting in their under representation in clinical studies. Orbital atherectomy (OA) is widely utilized for endovascular revascularization of significantly calcified peripheral arteries and has been shown to improve limb salvage rates.
