The debris produced was studied cytologically and measured semiquantitatively. Nearly 80% of all particles ranged from 5 to 15 μm, approximately the size of red blood cells. More than 20% of all particles exceeded this size and 2% were larger than 100 μm. The use of the Kensey catheter dynamic angioplasty system in the lower extremities contains the risk of embolic complications because more than 20% of all particles are larger than human blood cells. Seven patients with occlusion and 3 with stenoses of the SFA were treated with the Kensey catheter system. Recanalization was successfull in all and in 1 case, small emboli in the anterior tibial artery were observed. There was a 50% restenosis/reocclusion rate between 2 weeks and 10 months.
