AngioSculpt Evo PTCA important safety information.
The AngioSculpt Evo scoring balloon catheter is indicated for use in the treatment of hemodynamically significant coronary artery stenosis, including in-stent restenosis and complex type C lesions, for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion.
The AngioSculpt Evo catheter should not be used for coronary artery lesions unsuitable for treatment by percutaneous revascularization, and coronary artery spasm in the absence of a significant stenosis.
Possible adverse effects include, but are not limited to: death; heart attack (acute myocardial infarction); embolism, total occlusion of the treated coronary artery; coronary artery dissection, perforation, rupture, or injury; pericardial tamponade; no/slow reflow of treated vessel; emergency coronary arterybypass (CABG); emergency percutaneous coronary intervention; CVA/stroke/embolic stroke; pseudoaneurysm; restenosis of the dilated vessel; unstable angina; thromboembolism or retained device components; irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmias, including life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias); severe low (hypotension)/high (hypertension) blood pressure; coronary artery spasm; hemorrhage or hematoma; need for blood transfusion; surgical repair of vascular access site; creation of a pathway for blood flow between the artery and the vein in the groin (arteriovenous fistula); drug reactions, allergic reactions to x-ray dye (contrast medium); and infection.
