Madhu Salvaji, DO, used Newark Beth Israel Medical Center’s new
PolarCath system to return circulation in an 81-year-old patient’s
leg and help her avoid amputation. The PolarCath combines
angioplasty and cold therapy to open arteries and help prevent
future blockages in the same location. Dr. Salvaji opened three
blockages using a combination of cold catheter, stent placement
and atherectomy.
