Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of 6-mm Cutting Balloon angioplasty in patients with resistant peripheral stenoses caused by neointimal hyperplasia or irradiation-induced arteriopathy in vascular territories that are not amenable for use of the smaller Cutting Balloons that are used in cardiology. Peripheral Cutting Balloon angioplasty with the new 6-mm Cutting Balloon device proved useful in the short term for treatment of peripheral arterial stenoses resistant to conventional angioplasty.
