Abstract
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is an important interventional procedure performed everyday in major hospitals. In this paper, we describe our new designed angioplasty catheter balloon inflation device. It is a digital system that can be used in the actual PTCA procedure or other balloon angioplasty procedures. It is currently being used to simulate the inflation and deflation of angioplasty balloons in conjunction with an interventional radiology simulator. It also can be used in clinical procedures. The device has several outstanding advantages in addition to it resembling the existing handheld device used in the clinical setting. When used in the clinical procedures, a physician can manipulate the device using one hand with a remote controller as opposed to two-hand operating with the existing device. The manipulation accuracy is high allowing the physician to set the minimum inflation step at the level of 0.1 bar. Being an electromechanical device, it can be integrated better then the existing mechanical device, into the increasing digital clinical environment. New features such as intelligent programming can also be implemented using this new electromechanical device. This new angioplasty catheter balloon inflation device is integrated and validated with our interventional radiology simulator in the clinical setting.
