A hybrid scoring + cutting balloon enabling superior crossing in calcified, bifurcated, or long lesions with low perforation risk and excellent re‑wrap ability.
Naviscore combines axial nitinol filaments and a semi-compliant shaft to deliver uniform 90° plaque scoring with enhanced crossability and minimal deformation. Its low profile and hydrophilic coating improve lesion access
Designed for use in long, calcified, bifurcated, and in-stent restenosis lesions, Naviscore provides six times the scoring surface area and up to 21× force versus conventional balloons, all at a crossing profile as low as 1.5 mm

In an 85-patient registry, Naviscore successfully crossed 76% of lesions on first attempt, achieved 94% procedural success, reduced stenosis from 81% → 7.5% post-stent, and demonstrated excellent safety—with no major adverse events during hospitalization and only Type A/B dissections in 13%
Post-market real-world follow-up in 54 patients confirms safety and performance in routine clinical practice
