VALVULOPLASTY BALLOON CATHETER

OSYPKA - VACS II y VACS III


VACS II

Special features:

  • Dedicated low profile balloon to access small vessels and challenging vasculature
  • Designed both for pediatric patients and minimally invasive access in adults

Indications for Use:

  • Aortic valve stenosis
  • Pre-dilation of the aortic valve, prior to TAVI procedures
  • Pulmonary valve stenosis
  • Stenosis of the pulmonary artery
  • Aortic isthmus stenosis
  • Dilatation of the hypertrophic right / left ventricular outflow tract (RVOT, LVOT)


PRESSURES:

Low profile VACS® II balloon (ideal without implant)

  • Pediatric VACS® II, balloon diameter 4 - 16 mm, has a RBP of 2.5 to 6 atm (see table)
  • Adult VACS® II, 18 - 30 mm balloon diameter, has RBP 1.5 to 2 atm (see table)


VACS III

Special features:

  • It has a balloon segment with higher nominal burst pressure and resistance to perforation
  • Designed for challenging applications, in calcified valves or vessels, and rigid estenosis

VACS III balloons come in the following length and diameter variations; below, a table with the details of each measure.
