Abstract: A delivery system for a stent to a bifurcated region includes an elongated shaft with first and second branches extending from the elongated shaft. First and second branches have first and second balloons mounted thereon, respectively. A first guidewire extends the entire length of the delivery system and into the first branch for an “over-the-wire” configuration. A second guidewire extends into the second branch, but enters the elongated shaft near a distal end thereof for a “rapid-exchange” configuration. A guideway is formed in the elongated shaft and extends into the first guidewire lumen. The guideway may be forced open by a guide member slidably coupled to the elongated shaft, thereby adjusting the effective over-the-wire length of the first guidewire.

Abstract: A catheter device selectively provides additional support to a guidewire for aiding the guidewire in crossing a narrowing in a body lumen. The catheter device includes an elongate outer tubular member having a tapered distal end. An elongate guidewire gripping member is slidably disposed within the outer tubular member. The guidewire gripping member has a lumen for slidably receiving the guidewire and a distal end having a plurality of longitudinal fingers. When the guidewire gripping member is advanced distally against the tapered distal end of the outer tubular member, a the fingers of the guidewire gripping member are forced to engage with the guidewire to thereby prevent movement of the guidewire relative to the catheter device. The catheter device may include a steering mechanism for steering the combined catheter device and guidewire component to an optinum starting point for crossing the lesion.

Abstract: A bifurcated catheter includes a first catheter branch having a first distal portion and a second catheter branch having a second distal portion. The first and second distal portions are releasably linked together for delivery to a bifurcated region of a body vessel. Upon delivery to the bifurcated region, the first and second distal portions are released from each other such that the first and second catheter branches may be tracked into first and second vessel branches, respectively.

Abstract: The present invention is a catheter having an elongated tubular member having a proximal and a distal end. A balloon is positioned at the distal end of the tubular member. A guidewire tubular member extends from a position proximal the balloon through the balloon to a position distal the balloon, the guidewire tubular member has a proximal segment having a first flexibility and a distal segment having a second flexibility. The distal segment is more flexible than the proximal segment. A bond joins the balloon distal end to the proximal segment and the distal segment.
