Angioscopy Catheter Equipped with a Balloon for Blood Flow Attenuation

This is an angioscopy catheter equipped with a compliant balloon attached proximally to decrease blood flow in order to secure a good anterior visual field. Complete blockage of blood flow by maximally inflating the balloon is not necessary. This system is available when using regular guidewire with monorail system and can be kept in place throughout the procedure. The system can move forward or backward freely in the coronary artery and the catheter is centered with the assistance of the wire and balloon; especially in the investigation inside a coronary artery, it is very important to see the structures spatially as a cylinder.
