requiring a larger insertion sheath than a standard angioplasty balloon, which results in greater difficulty in achieving haemostasis post procedure, longer patient recovery time and higher procedure cost. Furthermore, attaching cutting blades or wires onto the external surface of an angioplasty balloon ...
