A new radiofrequency balloon angioplasty device for atherosclerosis treatment

Abstract: Background Restenosis remains a challenge in the treatment of atherosclerosis due to damage to the endothelial layer and induced proliferation of smooth muscle cells. A novel radiofrequency (RF) heating strategy was proposed to selectively ablate atherosclerosis plaque and to thermally inhibit the proliferation of smooth muscle cells while keeping the endothelial cells intact. Methods To realize the proposed strategy, a new radiofrequency balloon catheter, consisting of three ports, a three-channel tube, a ba… Show more
