Baroque Medical is the partner of choice and sole distributor for Abbott Vascular in Southern Africa. Abbott Vascular, a division of Abbott, is one of the world’s leading vascular care businesses. A global leader in the endovascular medical device industry, Abbott Vascular, through the offices of Baroque Medical, provides innovative, minimally invasive and cost-effective products for the treatment of peripheral and carotid disease. Our extensive ENDOVASCULAR portfolio includes:

Angioplasty or Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) is a technique used in the Catheterization Laboratory to widen the narrowing in an artery without surgery. The basic idea of angioplasty is to position a catheter with a small inflatable balloon on the end within the narrowed section of the artery. The balloon is then inflated, which pushes outward against the narrowing and surrounding wall of the artery. The inflated balloon opens the narrowed artery by splitting and compressing the plaque and slightly stretching the wall of the artery.

The implantation of stents has increased dramatically in recent years. They are used for treatment of new lesions or blockages and in areas where restenosis (plaque build-up after treatment) has occurred. Stents may be implanted after the completion of angioplasty.

Abbott Vascular is uniquely focused on transforming the treatment of vascular disease and improving patient care by combining the latest medical device innovations with world-class pharmaceuticals, investing in research and development and advancing medicine through training and education.

Headquartered in Northern California, Abbott Vascular offers a comprehensive portfolio of coronary products, which are recognized internationally for their safety, effectiveness and ease of use in treating patients with vascular disease.
