Single-operator exchange system balloon
Monorail Rapid exchange wire exits from side hole 20-25 cm proximal to balloon
Pro and con of single-operator exchange system
1) less pushability 2) lower profile 3) single operator 4) cannot exchange wire with it
material of POBA
plastic polymer usually
Compliance definition
degree of expansive ability of the balloon
Nominal pressure
Pressure at which balloon expands to determined diameter and length
Rated burst pressure define
< 1% of test balloons will burst beyond this point
Mean burst pressure
when 50% balloons will rupture
Compliant balloon material
polyolefin copolymer polyethylene
Compliant balloon pro and con
1) better trackability 2) single balloon can be used for different sizes 3) doggie bone effect that can damage nearby vessel segments 4) provides less damage overall
Non-complaint balloon pro and con
= high pressure or low compliance balloons 1) improved radial force 2) maintain design and shape under high pressure 3) higher burst pressure
Non-compliant balloon material
Polyethylene terephthalate nylon reinforced polyurethane
Trackability pushability crossability definition
Trackability = over wire pushability = transmit force along length to lesion crossability = ability to cross stenotic lesion
Uses of cutting balloons
1) short lesions 2) venous graft stenosis 3) bifurcation stenosis 4) no stenting zone 5) in-stent restenosis 6) HD AVF lesions 7) fem pop lesions
Cryoplasty
liquid NO to generate -10C for balloon plasty no evidence
LEVANT 1 trial
1) single blinded Lutonix DCB study for fempop 2) 101 patients 3) Rutherford class 2-5 4) primary = angiographic late lumen loss 6 months 1) primary patency 72 vs 49% 6 months 2) primary patency 67 vs 55% at 12 months based on freedom from TLR, angiographic restenosis and PSVR > 2.5
Lutonix DCB drugs
paclitaxel 2 mcg/mm2
LEVANT 2
1) single blinded RCT 2) lutonix vs PTA 3) 476 patients 4) primary patency 65.2 vs 52.6%
Who made the first stent
Charles stent - british dentist for dental molds
First PTA done by
Charles Dotter 1964
First balloon-expandign stent made by
Palmaz 1985

Material of balloon-expandings tents
1) stainless steel 2) cobalt-chromium
Benefit of cobalt chromium over stainless steel
1) Greater radial force 2) lower crossing profile 3) enhanced flexibility
Material of self-expanding stent
Nitinol nickel titanium alloy
