Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty catheter

coronaryballoon

Overview
The trapping balloon catheter is designed to secure the guidewire inside the guiding catheter by local balloon inflation. It enables controlled catheter exchange during percutaneous coronary angioplasty while maintaining guidewire position.

Clinical application
Used during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) to trap and stabilize the guidewire when exchanging or removing guiding catheters.

Operating principle
The balloon is positioned within the guiding catheter and inflated to create a mechanical barrier that holds the guidewire in place, allowing safe manipulation and exchange of catheters.
