Abstract
The present invention provides a valvuloplasty catheter which has a scoring element at its distal part to score stenotic, calcified heart valves in radial direction and to make the single valve flaps/leaflets work again. In addition to this, the device could comprise an attached balloon to post-dilate the valve after the scoring procedure. To reduce a future recalcification, the scoring element and/or the balloon have a pharmacologic coating on their outer surface.
