Coronary angioplasty balloon catheter, cutting/scoring (A sterile, flexible tube designed for use in percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) to dilate a stenotic coronary artery and increase myocardial perfusion, by controlled inflation of a distensible balloon at its distal tip with peripheral cutting/scoring elements (e.g., microsurgical atherotomes) intended to remove stenotic material. The device is typically placed using a guidewire and guiding catheter, and its balloon is inflated by the infusion of liquid through its tubular body. The tube and balloon are typically made of polymer materials and the cutting/scoring elements are typically made of metal [e.g., nickel-titanium alloy (Nitinol)]. This is a single-use device.)
