The 20th China International Vascular Medicine Conference and the 18th Asia-Pacific International Vascular Health Conference, organized by the Beijing CiHua Medical Development Foundation, were held on June 17, 2023, in Beijing.

The conference adopted a combination of offline and online formats, focusing on further promoting and popularizing the diagnosis, treatment levels, and treatment concepts of peripheral vascular diseases. It invited renowned domestic vascular surgeons to give special lectures and perform live surgeries, aiming to enhance professional academic exchanges, strengthen the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) within hospitals, and promote the development of the discipline.

During the conference, Professor LiChun Wang from Peking University Shougang Hospital presented a case study on “Endovascular Treatment of Aortoiliac Occlusive Disease” and concluded that the Falspeed® peripheral vascular balloon dilation catheter from Kossel Medtechexhibited excellent pushability, trackability, and crossability through clinical cases.

The Falspeed® PTA balloon dilatation catheter is suitable for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in the peripheral vascular system, including the iliac artery, femoral artery, popliteal artery, below-the-knee artery, and renal artery. It is also applicable for the treatment of natural or artificial dialysis arteriovenous fistulae.

Key features of the Falspeed® peripheral vascular balloon dilation catheter include:
– Smooth tapered tip design, enhancing the ability to pass through narrow lesions.
– Patented ultra-smooth hydrophilic coating, facilitating balloon delivery and lesion crossing.
– Thinner balloon material, balancing both crossability and pressure resistance.
– Exquisite balloon folding technique.
– Over-the-wire (OTW) coaxial pusher rod design, ensuring excellent resistance to bending and pushability of the catheter, with a larger dilation chamber for rapid balloon inflation and deflation.
