Instruction for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)
What is PCI? Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI, formerly known as angioplasty with stent) is a non-surgical procedure that used primarily to open a blocked coronary artery and restore arterial blood flow to heart tissue, without requiring open-heart surgery. In patients with a restricted or blocked coronary artery, PCI may be the best option to re-establish […]
Why Kossel PTA balloon catheter benefits?
What’s PTA balloon catheter? “PTA” comes from “percutaneous transluminal angioplasty” (percutaneous means “through the skin”). PTA balloons are in various sizes, lengths and shapes, depending on the anatomy they’re intended to treat. How PTA balloon catheter works? A PTA balloon catheter has an inflatable “balloon” at its tip which is used during a minimally invasive […]
Application of Balloon Catheter in Vascular Calcification
With the aging of the population and the increase of diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease, more and more coronary artery calcification lesions appear in patients with coronary heart disease,ptca balloon dilatation catheter which brings great challenges to interventional therapy, and is also an important reason for the failure and complications of interventional therapy, and […]

What to know about angioplasty
Angioplasty is a medical procedure that opens up a blocked or narrowed artery around the heart. It is a standard treatment for narrowed or blocked arteries in this area of the body. Doctors also refer to angioplasty as percutaneous coronary intervention, or PCI. During angioplasty, a surgeon inserts a tube into an artery in the […]
Use of Drug-coated Balloons in Coronary Arteries to Treat In-stent Restenosis
Coronary artery in-stent restenosis (ISR) is observed in about 10 percent of patients who undergo a drug eluting stent (DES) implantation and in more than 30 percent of patients who undergo balloon catheter bare-metal stent (BMS) implantation. Three DEBs for the coronaries have now been granted FDA breakthrough device designation to help expedite the approval […]
