Everting balloon catheter in the biliary tree: a technical note.

J P Alspaugh, L G Martin, V P Chuang

    Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology
    |January 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    A novel everting thru-lumen balloon catheter enabled successful percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for sclerosing cholangitis when standard treatments failed. This prototype catheter shows promise as a valuable tool for various interventional procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Interventional Gastroenterology
    • Biliary Interventions
    • Medical Device Technology

    Background:

    • Sclerosing cholangitis presents challenges for conventional biliary interventions.
    • Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is a treatment option for biliary strictures.
    • Novel catheter technologies are needed for complex cases.

    Observation:

    • A patient with sclerosing cholangitis underwent treatment with a prototype everting thru-lumen balloon catheter.
    • Conventional interventional methods had previously failed in this patient.
    • The procedure utilized the unique properties of the everting balloon design.

    Findings:

    • Successful percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was achieved using the novel catheter.
    • The everting thru-lumen balloon catheter effectively navigated and treated the biliary stricture.
