Descriptor aterectomía
Entry term(s) aterectomía percutánea
Scope note: Procedimiento endovascular en el que se elimina una placa ateromatosa mediante un catéter cortante o rotatorio. Difiere de los procedimientos de angioplastia con globo y láser que aumentan los vasos por dilatación pero que frecuentemente no eliminan gran parte de la placa. Si la placa se elimina por medios quirúrgicos bajo anestesia general, en lugar de por un procedimiento endovascular a través de un catéter, se denomina ENDARTERECTOMÍA.

Scope note: Endovascular procedure in which atheromatous plaque is excised by a cutting or rotating catheter. It differs from balloon and laser angioplasty procedures which enlarge vessels by dilation but frequently do not remove much plaque. If the plaque is removed by surgical excision under general anesthesia rather than by an endovascular procedure through a catheter, it is called ENDARTERECTOMY.
