PTCA-Fracturing and Splitting Plaque
Design Characteristics of PTCA Balloons
• Over the wire (OTW)
• Rapid exchange (RX), Monorail
• Perfusion
• Fixed wire
• Cutting balloon
• Scoring balloon-Angiosculpt
Over the Wire (OTW)
• Consists of a balloon catheter with a movable guidewire
passing through the entire length of its lumen
• OTW requires 2 operators
• OTW provides better pushability
• 300 cm steerable wire is typically used
• Balloon catheter shafts are typically 145 to 155 cm long
• 25% of the system use in the U.S.
Product diagram courtesy of the manufacturer.
Over the Wire (OTW)
Advantages
• Ability to change wire without removing catheter
• Superior pushability because entire catheter body runs
over wire
Disadvantages
• Slightly larger profiles and shaft sizes
• Typically needs 2 operators
• Can take more time, requiring more fluoroscopy
Rapid Exchange (RX)
• Guidewire exits balloon catheter several centimeters
proximal to the distal tip
• Guidewire travels separately from the balloon catheter
• RX allows the operator to fix the wire with one hand &
advance the balloon with the other
• Single operator
• 180 through 195 cm steerable guidewire is typically
used
• 75% of the system use in the U.S. and greater than
95% in the remainder of the world
Product diagram courtesy of the manufacturer.
Rapid Exchange (RX)
Advantages
• Single operator
• Allows for quick exchanges over a short guidewire
Disadvantages
• Can’t reshape or exchange wire without losing position
• Guidewire difficult to place without support of balloon
• Pushability may be compromised due to the short wire
lumen

Characteristics
5 Key Balloon Attributes
• Entry – pushability and crossability
• Tracking – guidewire compatibility
• Crossability – profiles and transition
angles
• Dilatation – balloon material and
shoulders
• Withdrawal – rewrap
Definitions
• Nominal - the pressure (in atm.) at which the balloon
reaches its stated size
• Rated Burst Pressure - (RBP) pressure at which 99.9% of
all balloons will not burst at or below (with 95% confidence
interval)
• Working Range - range between nominal and rated burst
pressure
Compliance
• Compliant - Diameter increases in ratio with the increase in
inflation force (size of balloon may grow beyond the ceiling
of clinical safety)
• Non-compliant - Reach and maintain specified size
regardless of inflation pressure (little to no flexibility in
vessel sizing)
• Semi-compliant - Wide working pressure range with
controlled flexibility in balloon sizing

Marker Bands
• Radiopaque bands are swaggered into the shaft of the
balloon to determine balloon placement under fluoroscopy
• Bands can be either dual markers or a single center marker

Manufacturers use different balloon
materials and blends to design their
balloon portfolio.
Balloon Angioplasty Results
• Plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA )has a high rate of acute
recoil and restenosis rates vary from 10-60% depending on size,
diameter, complexity of the lesion and patient related factors.
• The use of the cutting balloon/angioscore have reduced these
rates and may be an option for complex procedures and small
less important branch vessels when stenting is not desired or
to prepare the lesion prior to stenting.
• Currently, PTCA is used traditionally for pre-dilating prior to
stenting and post-dilatiation to maximally expand a stent.
• The era of the drug eluting balloon (DEB) is on the horizon and
will change therapy depending on future randomized trials

interventional cardiology, Guiding catheters, wires, and balloons equipment and results

  • 1. Guiding Catheters, Wires, and Balloons: Equipment and Results
  • 2. Disclosure • SB: Medtronic, BSc, Abbott Vascular,Gilead • Advisory Board: Medtronic, Abbott Vascular, Philips • All faculty disclosures are available on the CRF Events App and online at www.crf.org/tct
  • 4. Design Characteristics of PTCA Balloons • Over the wire (OTW) • Rapid exchange (RX), Monorail • Perfusion • Fixed wire • Cutting balloon • Scoring balloon-Angiosculpt
  • 5. Over the Wire (OTW) • Consists of a balloon catheter with a movable guidewire passing through the entire length of its lumen • OTW requires 2 operators • OTW provides better pushability • 300 cm steerable wire is typically used • Balloon catheter shafts are typically 145 to 155 cm long • 25% of the system use in the U.S. Product diagram courtesy of the manufacturer.
  • 6. Over the Wire (OTW) Advantages • Ability to change wire without removing catheter • Superior pushability because entire catheter body runs over wire Disadvantages • Slightly larger profiles and shaft sizes • Typically needs 2 operators • Can take more time, requiring more fluoroscopy
  • 7. Rapid Exchange (RX) • Guidewire exits balloon catheter several centimeters proximal to the distal tip • Guidewire travels separately from the balloon catheter • RX allows the operator to fix the wire with one hand & advance the balloon with the other • Single operator • 180 through 195 cm steerable guidewire is typically used • 75% of the system use in the U.S. and greater than 95% in the remainder of the world Product diagram courtesy of the manufacturer.
  • 8. Rapid Exchange (RX) Advantages • Single operator • Allows for quick exchanges over a short guidewire Disadvantages • Can’t reshape or exchange wire without losing position • Guidewire difficult to place without support of balloon • Pushability may be compromised due to the short wire lumen
  • 9. Balloon Overview Illustrations are artist’s rendition and are not drawn to scale. Working Length Proximal Taper Distal Taper Tip Length Tip Entry Crossing Profile
  • 10. Balloon Dilatation Catheter Components 2. Tip 3. Markers 5. Catheter Platform 1. Balloon 4. Distal Shaft 6. Coating Illustrations are artist’s rendition and are not drawn to scale.
  • 12. 5 Key Balloon Attributes • Entry – pushability and crossability • Tracking – guidewire compatibility • Crossability – profiles and transition angles • Dilatation – balloon material and shoulders • Withdrawal – rewrap
  • 13. Definitions • Nominal - the pressure (in atm.) at which the balloon reaches its stated size • Rated Burst Pressure - (RBP) pressure at which 99.9% of all balloons will not burst at or below (with 95% confidence interval) • Working Range - range between nominal and rated burst pressure
  • 14. Compliance • Compliant - Diameter increases in ratio with the increase in inflation force (size of balloon may grow beyond the ceiling of clinical safety) • Non-compliant - Reach and maintain specified size regardless of inflation pressure (little to no flexibility in vessel sizing) • Semi-compliant - Wide working pressure range with controlled flexibility in balloon sizing
  • 15. 2.5 2.7 2.9 3.1 3.3 3.5 3.7 3.9 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 mm atmSemi-Compliant Non-Compliant Compliant Balloon Compliance
  • 16. Multi- Function Very Durable Multi FunctionHighly Crossable Ultra-Tight Lesions Tortuous Anatomy Pre-Dil & Post Dil Heavy Calcification Balloon Differentiation Compliant Semi-Compliant
  • 17. Marker Bands • Radiopaque bands are swaggered into the shaft of the balloon to determine balloon placement under fluoroscopy • Bands can be either dual markers or a single center marker Product diagram courtesy of the manufacturer.
  • 18. Balloon Material POC PE Nylon PET More Compliant Less Compliant Manufacturers use different balloon materials and blends to design their balloon portfolio.
  • 19. Balloon Angioplasty Results • Plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA )has a high rate of acute recoil and restenosis rates vary from 10-60% depending on size, diameter, complexity of the lesion and patient related factors. • The use of the cutting balloon/angioscore have reduced these rates and may be an option for complex procedures and small less important branch vessels when stenting is not desired or to prepare the lesion prior to stenting. • Currently, PTCA is used traditionally for pre-dilating prior to stenting and post-dilatiation to maximally expand a stent. • The era of the drug eluting balloon (DEB) is on the horizon and will change therapy depending on future randomized trials
  • 21. Diagnostic Catheter Function • Vehicle for contrast injection • Pressure measurement • Angiographic assessment
  • 22. Guiding Catheter Function • Conduit for device & wire transport • Support for equipment advancement • Vehicle for contrast injection • Pressure measurement • Angiographic assessment Source: Grossman’s Cardiac Catheterization, Angiography, and Intervention
  • 23. Basic Catheter Construction • Materials • Layers • Catheter size Outer LayerMiddle LayerInner Layer
