More Information
Summary:The current document is directed to improved PTA catheters, improved PTA apparatuses, and improved PTA methods that address problems associated with PTA procedures. Implementations of the improved PTA catheters include PTA catheters with one or more stabilizers that are activated to hold or fix the PTA catheter at a desired relative position within a support catheter. The improved PTA methods employ timely activation of the stabilizers to prevent deformation of the PTA apparatus during manipulation of the PTA apparatus within biological vessels. Certain implementations include hydraulically activated stabilizers, while other implementations employ one or more stabilizers activated by activation methods other than hydraulic activation.
