The Halliburton Endarterectomy Catheter has been developed in prototype form. This atherectomy catheter has been used to remove atheroma in  human coronary artery necropsy specimens with a  90% success rate in fibro/fatty atheromatous  lesions. The Halliburton Catheter has been used in anaesthetized normal roosters with no adverse effects in 8/8 cases. Atherectomy on occluded  femoral  arteries was successful.
