One Step Ahead In Treating Pad

The team of Cardiologists at Magnolia Regional Health Center are the first in the Northeast Mississippi region to offer a new treatment option to people suffering from the debilitation effects of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) – the Diamondback 360 Orbital Atherectomy System.  MRHC Cardiologists Dr. John Prather, Dr. Kerry Morgan, Dr. Nanni Pidikiti and Dr. Emad Mohamed have played a pivotal role in demonstrating the potential safety and effectiveness of this new technology and its ability to provide new hope for treating the disease.



As the pioneering physicians dedicated to exploring medical advances to improve the odds for patients with PAD, the team believes that the new orbital atherectomy system from Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (CSI) has come full-circle.  The device uses a unique orbital motion with an off-set, diamond coated “crown” to sand away the plaque.  As the crown rotates and orbit increases, centrifugal force action presses the crown against the lesion or plaque, removing a small amount of plaque with each orbit.  The orbital motion is designed to create a smooth vessel opening or lumen, which may improve blood flow
