Influence of polyethylene terephthalate/ polyamide (PET/PA) bilayer structure on physical and strength-related properties of superpressure angioplasty balloons

• Zachary Long

  Background: Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), together with balloon angioplasty, is a regular scientific invasive therapy for coronary artery illness. The coronary lesion with calcification is tough to dilate and the prevention of balloon failure is particularly vital.   Goal: A novel superpressure balloon was fabricated with bilayered construction of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and PA12 (polyamide).…
