## Indications for use
The Emerge Over-The-Wire and Emerge Monorail PTCA Dilatation Catheters (1.20 mm balloon models) are indicated as pre-dilatation catheters in the stenotic portion of a coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis (≥70% stenosis). The Emerge Over-The-Wire and Emerge Monorail PTCA Dilatation Catheters (balloon models 1.50-4.00 mm) are indicated for the balloon catheter dilatation of the stenotic portion of a coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion. The Emerge Over-The-Wire and Emerge Monorail PTCA Dilatation Catheters (balloon models 2.00-4.00 mm) are also indicated for the post-delivery expansion of balloon expandable stents (bare metal and drug-eluting).
