"INOUE-BALLOON" CATHETER is the first non-surgical device for a treatment against mitral stenois.
Use
"INOUE-BALLOON" CATHETER (IBC) is indicated for PTMC (Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Commissurotomy) in patients with mitral stenosis.
IBC is inserted percutaneously and transvenously into the heart to inflate the hour-glass shape of the balloon part to a barrel shape and thereby expand the mitral valve that has been adhered shut.
