Dr. Tony Das developed a new procedure to clear femoral artery blockages without the use of contrast dye or X-ray radiation, offering hope to millions of patients who need alternative solutions to treat their peripheral vascular disease. The TUG procedure (Transcutaneous Ultrasound Guided vascular intervention) involves using an ultrasound device on top of the patient's skin to produce images of the arteries and guide the tiny wire travelling inside the arteries to clear the blockage.
Recently, Dr. Das performed this innovative procedure live in high-definition to an international audience of cardiologists at the 2009 Annual Scientific Session of the American College of Cardiology in Florida. Here is a link to the story:
