Prof. Juergen Reul of Beta Klinik, Bonn, Germany, used successfully and at
the first time in the world the Elutax Balloon catheter in a case of triple A.
basilaris stenosis. The contra lateral artery was already occluded.
Before treatment:
Due to the triple-lesions anatomy a stent placement was not the first option,
as the tortuosity of the vessel could jeopardize the successful placement.
During Intervention of Elutax:
The triple restenosis is resolved and the blood flow is restored successfully.
Angiographic Control after 5 month:
Before intervention:
Elutax is developed especially for small vessels. The balloon is coated with 2
microgram/mm² pure Paclitaxel. As there is no stent mounted on the balloon,
the pushability and the positioning of the device are facilitated compared to a
balloon catheter with a stent.
