The Cutting Balloon is a novel dilatation catheter for coronary angioplasty (InterVentional Technologies Inc). It produces longitudinal, microsurgical incisions in the vessel wall before the actual dilatation. It is assumed that these controlled surgical incisions relieve hoop stress and reduce vessel wall injury and eventually restenosis. However, no clinical indicator to support the theory of reduced injury has been described. Certain clusters of differentiation (eg, CD11, CD18 on the leukocytes) are implicated in leukocyte adhesion, increased permeability, and opsonization. Therefore, they might serve as clinical indicators of the injury level of the vessels after angioplasty.
