Abstract
A tissue-removing catheter for removing tissue in a body lumen includes an elongate catheter body. A tissue-removing element is operatively coupled to a distal end portion of the elongate catheter body. The tissue-removing element has a central axis. The tissue-removing element is configured to be rotated about its central axis to remove tissue from the body lumen. A distal end portion of the tissue-removing element includes a distal end face at a distal-most end of the tissue-removing element. The distal end face has a perimeter and a diameter extending through the central axis. Diametrically opposite points on the perimeter lie in a plane that is oblique to the central axis of the tissue-removing element.
