A modified design to the NSE scoring balloon catheter ensures a greater scoring effect on a non-compliant platform with a lower crossing profile.
Aperta NSE™ is the next generation of NSE.
- Integrating the element with the balloon maintains the element positioning 120 degrees apart during balloon expansion.
- A non-compliant platform provides an increase in push transmission from the apex of the element.
- A reduced balloon crossing profile by eliminating the element connection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is there potential to incur damage or breakage to the elements during use in severely calcified lesion, or at high inflation pressures?
Although the elements are made of nylon, even at RBP (Rated Burst Pressure) there is little crushing of the apex component of the element. Some distortion can be observed under a microscope, but it is not sufficient to cause any detrimental effect in a clinical setting.
How does a scoring balloon compare to standard angioplasty balloons?
Scoring balloons offer enhanced plaque modification capabilities compared to standard balloons, making them suitable for more challenging lesions.
What are the potential risks associated with using a scoring balloon?
Risks include vessel injury, dissection, or thrombosis, which are minimized with careful technique and under the guidance of experienced interventional cardiologists.
Are there different types of scoring balloons?
Yes, scoring balloons come in various designs and configurations, each suited for different lesion characteristics and procedural requirements.
