AI Article Synopsis
- The Aperta NSE scoring balloon features three longitudinal nylon elements that enhance its flexibility and shape, allowing it to navigate easily within stents.
- Despite the standard high-pressure balloons being difficult to maneuver into stents due to their rigid structure, the grooves on the Aperta NSE's elements enable it to bend and adjust its contact point.
- This innovative design improves the balloon's ability to cross complex lesions and stents, potentially increasing the success of post-dilation procedures.
Article Abstract
A new scoring balloon Aperta NSE has 3 longitudinal nylon elements mounted on the non-compliant balloon surface. Although a high-pressure balloon is usually used as a post-dilation balloon in an implanted stent, it is difficult to pass into the stents because a balloon gets caught in stents in some cases. Aperta NSE has some grooves at elements; therefore, this balloon is bendable and shaped in an arc. The bent scoring balloon could eliminate interference between the balloon and the stents or lesions. Moreover, the point where the tip of the balloon contacts could change. As a result, it helps to improve crossability of this balloon. The bending technique of a scoring balloon Aperta NSE could lead to successful crossing into stents or complex lesions.
