Naviscore Coronary Scoring Balloon

A hybrid scoring + cutting balloon enabling superior crossing in calcified, bifurcated, or long lesions with low perforation risk and excellent re‑wrap ability.

Naviscore Balloon

Hybrid Scoring and Cutting Design

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

Key Benefits and Applications

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

Clinical Performance

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
