AngioSculpt PTCA

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The AngioSculpt PTCA Scoring Balloon Catheter is an innovative device designed for vascular intervention, specifically targeting complex coronary artery lesions. It features a unique nitinol scoring element that enhances precision and safety during procedures.

Specifications
The catheter is equipped with a flexible nitinol scoring element with three rectangular spiral struts, working in tandem with a semi-compliant balloon. It fits into a 6F guiding catheter and is compatible with a 0.014” guide wire. The balloon diameters range from 2.0 to 3.5 mm, with lengths of 10, 15, and 20 mm. The rated burst pressure varies by size, with a maximum of 20 atm for smaller diameters.

Procedures and Performance
The device is designed to score the target lesion with precision, reducing the risk of slippage and ensuring accurate placement. It has been clinically proven to have a significantly lower dissection rate compared to Plain Old Balloon Angioplasty (POBA), with a rate of 13.6% versus approximately 30% for POBA.

Clinical Efficacy
AngioSculpt is the only plaque-modifying device approved for treating C type lesions. It has demonstrated superior outcomes in terms of luminal gain, achieving a 33% greater gain than conventional balloons and a 50% greater gain than direct stenting.

Recommendations
For optimal results, it is recommended to refer to the AngioSculpt Instructions for Use (IFU) to select the appropriate device size. The device is particularly effective for fibro-calcified, bifurcation, and ostial lesions, as well as complex type B2/C lesions and in-stent restenosis.

Conclusion
The AngioSculpt Scoring Balloon Catheter offers a new dimension in lesion preparation, providing better final post-stent dimensions and improved patient outcomes. Its innovative design and proven clinical efficacy make it a valuable tool in vascular intervention.
