HonorHealth, a healthcare system in Arizona, has become the first in the United States to use the SpurPeripheral Retrievable Stent System. This new clinical solution is designed for treating narrowed arteries below the knee after they have been widened with a balloon. The stent system is unique because it features a self-expanding stent with built-in balloon dilation technology and does not leave a permanent implant.
Dr. Mitri Khoury, a vascular surgeon at HonorHealth Heart Care, stated, “This technology allows us to restore better blood flow with less trauma to the artery, which can mean faster healing and relief of pain for patients.” Dr. Hasan Aldailami, network director of vascular surgery at HonorHealth Heart Care, added, “This is another example of how HonorHealth is leading the way in vascular care.”
Both Drs. Aldailami and Khoury were part of a team that performed the first procedure using this technology at HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea Medical Center in May 2025.
