Understanding the Use of Ultra-High Pressure Balloons in PCI
When a coronary lesion won’t open at conventional pressures, what can an ultra-high pressure balloon do differently? On this episode of BackTable Cardiology, host Dr. Hady Lichaa welcomes Dr. Deepak Kapoor, interventional cardiologist at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, to discuss the science, safety, and real-world applications of ultra-high pressure (UHP) balloons in calcified coronary intervention. Dr. Kapoor walks through the evolution of balloon design, the main scenarios where UHP balloons are most useful, and the technical details that set these devices apart from standard non-compliant balloons and other calcium modification tools.
