Balloon catheter is a flexible tube with a balloon mounted on a distal end, used in PTCA. The Balloon catheter is consisting of mainly two things. One of them is an inflatable balloon that is used for bed preparation of lesion. Another is Catheter that aids in delivering the balloon to the lesion site.
We have two different types of complaint that is semi complaint and non-complaint. There are three different major qualities of clinical needs of balloon that are deliverability, cross ability, dilatation. The Deliverability always explains the better reach the target lesion. The cross ability explains that it must cross the target lesion. The proper dilation happens when it must open the lesion.
