Abstract
A new balloon catheter on a wire that can be passed through standard 5- and 7-F angioplasty catheters recently became available. This capability allowed the authors to dilate segmental arterial lesions in which different balloon sizes were required without multiple catheter exchanges. Six patients were successfully treated with this technique, without complications.
