  1. ELAN A Third Alternative for Treatment of Atheroma Extra-luminal Laser ANgioplasty Beyond Balloon & Bypass

  2. The Technology Extension of current, proven and recently stabilised technology in an application that is unique Represents the first treatment option that can produce demonstrable regression of Atheroma PTCA The Third Alternative CABG

  3. The Principle Human arteries - elastic tubes carrying fluid under pressure Atheroma - thickening of arterial wall causing loss of flexibility Lost flexibility restored by very precise removal of excess tissue from external surface of the artery

  4. Plaques and Strokes (Heart / Brain): Plaque Rupture (release of liquid and semi-solid contents) --triggers -- • Thrombosis and • Interruption of Blood flow

  5. Plaques and ELAN Procedure: Elan Procedure releases liquid and semi-solid contents to the outside of the blood vessel Preventing Rupture of the same to the inside -thus- • Prevents Plaque rupture • Prevents Thrombosis

  6. Plaques (eliminated by ELAN Procedure): Prevention of Strokes (Heart and Brain)And Near normal artery after 6 weeks

  7. ELAN: Elan – Longitudinal cut on artery surface:

  8. ELAN: Elan – Longitudinal cut on artery surface:

  9. ELAN – The sequence of Events: And Six Weeks Later all is healed

  10. ELAN – On A Pig Artery(in the Laboratory)

  11. Treatment Failures Commonest Cause ... T. Intima injury induced by treatment modality This Device protects T. Intima from injury. Preservation of Endothelial function improves long term prognosis

  12. ELAN –No Injury to Innermost Lining & Quick Healing Six Weeks after the procedure the operated segment of artery appears near normal due to healing and remodeling of Artery wall Elements. (much like a bone heals after a fracture)
