A drug-coated coronary angioplasty balloon catheter is a specialized medical device used to open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. During a procedure, the balloon is inflated to widen the vessel while simultaneously delivering medication to the arterial wall to help prevent the tissue from narrowing again.
These devices are designed for single-use only and are available in different configurations, such as over-the-wire or rapid exchange systems. They may be utilized to prepare a vessel before stent placement or to refine the results after a stent has been deployed.
