Balloon angioplasty is a procedure used to widen a blocked or narrowed artery. After a balloon angioplasty, the artery will often re-narrow, meaning that repeat surgery is needed. These repeat surgeries use a drug-coated balloon, and often have significant side-effects.

We have developed a new medical device to reduce these side-effects, and improve the efficacy of the surgery, using a light-activated drug. This will improve the quality of life of patients with vascular disease and reduce the costs of these procedures.
