Using 6-mm Cutting Balloon Angioplasty in Patients with Resistant Peripheral Artery Stenosis: Preliminary Results

¹ Department of Radiology, St. George's Hospital, Blackshaw Rd., London SW17 0QT, United Kingdom.
² Present address: Department of Radiology, Klinikum rechts der Isar, Ismaninger Str. 22, 81675 Munich, Germany.

OBJECTIVE. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of 6-mm Cutting Balloon angioplasty in patients with resistant peripheral stenoses caused by neointimal hyperplasia or irradiation-induced arteriopathy in vascular territories that are not amenable for use of the smaller Cutting Balloons that are used in cardiology.

CONCLUSION. Peripheral Cutting Balloon angioplasty with the new 6-mm Cutting Balloon device proved useful in the short term for treatment of peripheral arterial stenoses resistant to conventional angioplasty.
