Isixhobo sebhaluni esilahlwayo sisetyenziswa kutyando lwe-PTCA kunye nebhaluni yecatheter. Yandisa ibhaluni ngokusebenzisa isixhobo sokunyuka kwamaxabiso ebhaluni, ngaloo ndlela wandise umthambo wegazi okanye ufakele izinti ngaphakathi kwinqanawa. Isixhobo sebhaluni esilahlayo sifakwe inzalo nge-ethylene oxide, ubomi beshelufu yiminyaka emi-3.
