Airway Foley Balloon catheters are also used when placing stents during angioplasty procedures. These catheters often come pre-loaded with a stent attached to the balloon, ready for use in the cath lab.
Uses
This balloon catheter is used to press down plaque that’s blocking a coronary artery. When it’s done without a stent, this procedure is known as plain old balloon angioplasty.
