With the continuous advancement of medical technology, balloon dilatation catheters have become an indispensable part of modern medicine.This advanced medical device plays a vital role in the treatment of many diseases, especially in cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease and structural heart disease.
As the name suggests, a balloon dilatation catheter is a catheter that achieves the purpose of treatment through balloon dilatation. Its working principle is to expand the balloon by injecting liquid or gas into the balloon, thereby expanding the narrowed or occluded blood vessels and restoring blood flow. This treatment method is not only less invasive, but also has significant efficacy, greatly improving the quality of life of patients.
In the field of cardiovascular disease, balloon dilatation catheters are widely used in the treatment of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Through coronary angiography, doctors can clearly see the narrow part of the blood vessel, and then use the balloon dilatation catheter to dilate the narrow part to restore the blood vessel to a smooth state, thereby improving the blood supply to the myocardium.
In the treatment of peripheral vascular disease, balloon dilatation catheters also play an important role. For example, in the treatment of lower limb arteriosclerosis obliterans, doctors can use balloon dilatation catheters to dilate blocked blood vessels, restore blood flow in the lower limbs, and relieve patients' pain, numbness and other symptoms.
In addition, balloon dilatation catheters have also achieved remarkable results in the treatment of structural heart disease. For example, in the treatment of pulmonary valve stenosis, aortic valve stenosis and other diseases, doctors can use balloon dilatation catheters to dilate narrow valves, improve valve function, and thus improve the quality of life of patients.
With its unique advantages, balloon dilatation catheters play an increasingly important role in the field of modern medicine, bringing new hope to countless patients.
