"The development of low profile PTA balloon technology allows physicians to perform angioplasty in a less-invasive manner, which improves the overall quality of patient care," commented Dr. John Aruny, Associate Professor and Co-Chief, Vascular and Interventional Radiology at Yale University School of Medicine . "This device, with its low profile configuration, is an excellent example of a new technology that limits the size of the introducer sheath to 5F while allowing inflation diameters up to 8mm.
The ability to work through smaller sheaths will directly contribute to lessening puncture site morbidity," added Dr. Aruny.
