Procedural Comparison of a Standard PTA Balloon for Fistula and Graft Maintenance Procedures with the Novel Chameleon™ PTA Balloon Catheter
SUMMARY
The Chameleon™ PTA balloon catheter can reduce procedure time, fluoroscopy time, and contrast volume. This could help provide a more efficient procedure with simpler, more intuitive solutions that combine angioplasty and imaging in one device.
STUDY OVERVIEW
PATIENT STATISTICS
Sample Size (n) = 68
Group A = 34
(Standard PTA)
Group B = 34
(Chameleon™ PTA balloon)
- No significant gender differences between groups
- Comorbidities were similar to national rates in both groups (hypertension, coronary artery disease, and diabetes)
OUTCOMES
Comparison of outcomes between a standard PTA balloon (Group A) and a Chameleon™ PTA balloon (Group B) using multiple regression corrected for lesion location and length.
