Catheters, Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty, Percutaneous
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) catheters are used to dilate narrowed or blocked coronary arteries by advancing a balloon-tipped catheter to the site of obstruction and inflating the balloon under hydraulic pressure. According to its definition, a PTCA catheter operates on the principle of hydraulic pressurization applied through an inflatable balloon attached to the distal end of the catheter. It is classified as a Class 2 (moderate risk) device, subject to general controls and special controls, and requires 510(k) premarket notification before marketing. The product code is LOX, regulated under 21 CFR 870.5100, within the Cardiovascular medical specialty.
