Abstract:
A catheter assembly (10) includes a main catheter branch (12) and a side catheter branch (14). The main catheter branch includes a main balloon (36), a side balloon (38) and a side inflation member (34). The side inflation member intersects the side balloon at a location on the side balloon that is offset laterally from a central line passing from a distal most point on the side balloon to a proximal most point on the side balloon. The side balloon is configured to extend radially outward relative to the main balloon when the side balloon is inflated. The side catheter branch can be centrally aligned with the side balloon central line and be positioned laterally adjacent to the side inflation lumen.
