DESCRIPTION
AngioSculpt Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) Scoring Balloon CatheterThe AngioSculpt Scoring Balloon Catheter is a new tool in the treatment of simple to complex lesions, including in-stent restenosis (ISR) and type C lesions. AngioSculpt can be used in treating fibro-calcific, bifurcation and ostial lesions. When used for pre-dilatation prior to stenting, AngioSculpt has been proven to yield a 33%-50% greater luminal gain than either direct stenting or pre-dilatation with a conventional angioplasty balloon catheter.
