D - Stent obstruction and filling of tortuous venous collaterals

A non-compliant (“high pressure”) balloon catheter was then used to treat the obstruction. In this case, a 10 x 40 mm Conquest balloon catheter was used with focal waist at the caphalad end of the stent that resolved with full insufflation. Chronic more fibrous lesions often require non-compliant balloon catheters, which can generate sufficient radial force without risking balloon rupture.
