AngioScore
AngioScore (Booth 847) is featuring its AngioSculpt scoring balloon catheter for treating both peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and coronary artery disease (CAD). The nitinol scoring element scores the plaque circumferentially, providing predictable dilatation across a range of lesion types.  

The AngioSculpt Scoring Balloon Catheter can treat simple and complex lesions, including in-stent restenosis and type C lesions. AngioSculpt has been used to treat fibro-calcific, bifurcation and ostial lesions. Balloon inflation focuses uniform radial forces along the edges of the nitinol element, scoring the plaque with low crossing profile (2.7F maximum), 0.014” system compatible with 6F guiding catheters.

AngioSculpt Scoring Balloon Catheter can also treat peripheral artery disease, designed to address a range of peripheral lesions with a low-profile, 0.014” or 0.018" (4. 0mm/5.0 mm diameter) OTW system and compatible with 5F or 6F (4.0mm/5.0mm diameter) sheaths.
