Abstract

Changes in balloon and catheter technology have led to the development of smaller, more flexible, and less traumatic balloon dilatation systems. The physical principles that govern balloon angioplasty and the current status of balloon materials and catheter designs will be reviewed. A compilation of various angioplasty catheters is also summarized.
