Abstract
The current document is directed to improved PTA methodologies that significantly decrease the risks of persistent blood-vessel-wall distention and subsequent restenosis and the risks of PTA-induced dissection, hematoma, and pseudoaneurysm when used to treat blood vessels. Similar improved percutaneous-transluminal-interventional methods are used to treat non-vascular vessels. The improved methods include initial selection of balloon length and inflation pressure for initial treatment of primary lesions to minimize the risks of over-inflation and generation of undesirable localized forces during balloon inflation. The improved methods further include higher-pressure treatment of remaining secondary lesions that also minimizes the risks of over-inflation and generation of undesirable localized forces. The improved methods can be practiced using differently sized balloons and conventional instrumentation, but may be facilitated by use of balloon-length-adjustable catheters.
