People say they are Vascular Surgeons, Interventional Radiologists or Angiologists. But for us they are Life Openers.
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) treatment has moved on. Have you?
For years, Plain Old Balloon Angioplasty (POBA) alone was the default choice. But today, the data shows that this mindset leads to more problems than you think. That’s why Life Openers are moving forward- and why it’s time to rethink your PAD strategy.
POBA-alone may look simple on the surface but the data tells a different story. Dissections, bailout stenting and restenosis add hidden risks that compromise both patient outcomes and procedural inefficiency4
84%
Vessel dissection
up to 84% of POBA alone cases cause vessel dissection1

Bailout stenting

Restenosis
POBA-alone treatments have around 50% higher rates of restenosis 3
