Coronary angioplasty balloon catheters with perfusion are used in percutaneous coronary interventions to open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. During the procedure, the balloon is inflated within the artery while small holes in the catheter allow blood to continue flowing past it, reducing the risk of complications like heart muscle damage.
These devices are typically single-use and require regulatory approval before market placement, with classification varying by jurisdiction. They are supplied sterile and designed for use in controlled clinical settings, such as cardiac catheterization labs, where trained interventional cardiologists perform the procedure.
