- In order to activate the hydrophilic coating, it is recommended to wet the catheter with a sterile saline
solution immediately prior to its insertion through the introducer sheath.
7.3. Technique for Insertion / Treatment
- Position the 0.014" guide wire across the lesion using PTA techniques, using fluoroscopy to determine
its position at all times.
- Insert the proximal end of the guide wire into the distal tip of the balloon catheter.
- Carefully advance the balloon catheter on the guide wire, through the introducer and with the aid of
fluoroscopy, until it reaches the area to be treated. In the event that the balloon catheter selected can-
not be placed inside the lesion, take a smaller size to predilate the lesion.
- Connect the inflation device (1/3 of its capacity of contrast liquid mixture: saline solution) to the three-
way stopcock and open the passage between the balloon and the inflation device.
- Apply pressure to the inflation device so that the balloon inflates. Do not exceed the rated burst pres-
sure (RBP) on the label and the compliance curve.
- Apply pressure for 30-60 seconds depending on the lesion.
- Draw the plunger on the inflation device back to deflate the balloon. Keep up the negative pressure
for between 20 and 60 seconds depending on the size of the balloon. Make sure the balloon is fully
deflated (by means of fluoroscopy) before moving the catheter.
- With negative pressure in the inflation device and with the guide wire in position, carefully retract the
catheter until it can be removed through the introducer.
- Inject contrast liquid through the introducer to check the treated lesion before removing the guide wire.
