Current limitations Associated with
SFA Treatment
• Patency
– Long lesions
• Re-stenosis
• Stent Fracture
– Re-stenosis
– Thrombosis
– Pseudoaneurysm
• Cost

Paradigm Shift!
• Angioplasty alone
• Drug coated balloon
• Spot stenting
• TACK-IT technology
Current limitations Associated with
BKA Treatment
• Patency
– Long lesions
• Limited Stent options
– DES
• Data on DEB now ??
• Angioplasty
Currently No DEB are available for
Below Knee Disease!!
Current limitations of DEB
• Acute dissection
• Significant recoil
• Minimal acute luminal gain
• Presence of Ca+
The Chocolate Balloon
How Does Chocolate Balloon
Address These Limitations?
Unique nitinol “constraining structure”
• Shields vessel wall from torsional shear stress
caused by balloon “unfolding”
• Uniformly distributes longitudinal & circumferential
forces
• Modifies plaque via:
“Pillows”: Vessel dilatation without cutting or
scoring
“Grooves”: Stress relief, plaque modification
What Does this Mean Clinically?
Bail-Out Stenting Rates
• Fewer dissections
20%
• More aggressive sizing
14%
• Increased acute luminal gain
12%
• Longer term patency
5%
3%
• Less stent utilization

• DRUG COATED CHOCOLATE BALLOON!!
(CHOCOLATE TOUCH)
– Address acute issues with the current DEB
technology:
» Dissection
» Recoil
» Acute luminal gain
» Ca+
– Offer long-term patency (paclitaxel)

Why CTOs are a Problem?
• Time Commitment & skill set
• Failure rate
• More complications
• Cost
• More radiation and contrast
• Poor Patency
