Steam balloon concept for lifting rockets to launch altitude [PDF]
Launching orbital and suborbital rockets from a high altitude is beneficial because of e.g. nozzle optimisation and reduced drag. Aeroplanes and gas balloons have been used for the purpose. Here we present a concept where a balloon is filled with pure water vapour on ground so that it rises to the launch altitude.

Long-term clinical safety and efficacy of drug-eluting stents in real-world patients [PDF]
Since the fi rst balloon angioplasty was performed in the late 1970’s, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has undergone rapid transformation to become an essential treatment option for coronary artery disease as an alternative to surgery.

Existence theorems for thin inflated wrinkled membranes subjected to a hydrostatic pressure [PDF]
In this paper, we establish rigorous existence theorems for a mathematical model of a thin inflated wrinkled membrane that is subjected to a shape dependent hydrostatic pressure load. We are motivated by the problem of determining the equilibrium shape of a strained high altitude large scientific balloon.

Rupture of angioplasty balloons is a recognized complication of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), occurring in approximately 5-10% of cases. If a rupture occurs, balloon fragments may embolize or cause thrombotic artery occlusion.

PURPOSE:Debulking strategies prior to drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty were suggested to improve clinical results in femoro-popliteal lesions. Currently, there are no data regarding plaque modification with a scoring balloon with subsequent DCB ...
