Balloon Angioplasty Inflation Device

项目摘要/摘要 我们建议开发一种新型的球囊血管成形术充气装置，以提高安全性和 球囊血管成形术的疗效。动脉粥样硬化与冠状动脉疾病、缺血性中风和 外周动脉疾病。经皮球囊血管成形术，通常与支架装置联合使用 部署，一直与延长生存，提高生活质量和延长延迟 血管再狭窄。人们对经皮介入治疗以解决动脉粥样硬化症状的热情很高。 市场上的球囊充气装置没有充分考虑动脉的分子组成，也没有充分考虑动脉的分子组成 他们是否考虑了动脉床之间的弹性差异。拟议的项目探索了一种新技术。 在球囊血管成形术中促进改善充气性能，从而减少对动脉壁的应力 以获得最终的流明面积。将开发和评估一个原型设备。

Project Summary/Abstract We propose the development of a novel balloon angioplasty inflation device for improving the safety and efficacy of balloon angioplasty. Atherosclerosis is associated with coronary artery disease, ischemic stroke and peripheral arterial disease. Percutaneous balloon angioplasty, often in conjunction with stent device deployment, has been associated with prolonged survival, increased quality of life and extended delay of restenosis. There exists great enthusiasm for percutaneous interventions to resolve atherosclerotic symptoms. Balloon inflation devices on the market do not adequately consider the molecular composition of the artery nor do they consider elasticity differences between arterial beds. The proposed project explores a novel technique to promote improved inflation performance during balloon angioplasty, resulting in less stress on the artery wall to achieve resultant luminal area. A prototype device will be developed and evaluated.
