A balloon catheter (10) having a shaft (16), a balloon (14), and an external delivery tube (12) is disclosed. Methods of using the balloon catheter having an external delivery tube are also disclosed. In one example, the balloon catheter is an agent delivery catheter including a catheter body extending between catheter proximal and distal portions. An inflatable balloon assembly (100) is coupled with the catheter body. An agent delivery assembly (102) is coupled with the catheter body and the inflatable balloon assembly. The agent delivery assembly includes a delivery lumen (32) extending through the catheter body, and an agent delivery tube extending along an exterior balloon surface (64). The agent delivery tube includes at least one delivery orifice (70) directed outside of the exterior balloon surface. The agent delivery assembly is isolated from fluid communication with the inflatable balloon assembly.
摘要:
The present invention is for an arterial closure device which can be used to implement and augment the closure of a femoral artery or other related, adjacent or similar members of the vasculature and to reduce compression times associated therewith. A resorbable tubular plug is introduced through a delivery sheath subsequent to a procedure in which the delivery sheath is first utilized. The resorbable tubular plug is inserted through the delivery sheath and the distal tip of the resorbable tubular plug is positioned a short distance into the artery, whereby a suitable entry can be indicated by blood flow through and from the resorbable tubular plug. The delivery sheath is withdrawn to expose the resorbable tubular plug to the tissue track and to the arteriotomy and manual compression is applied to the wound site to foster and promote hemostasis.

A direct stream hydrodynamic catheter system is provided for the removal of thrombus, lesions and the like including provisions for the infusion of drugs, lysing fluids and the like into a blood vessel. Physician controlled high powered direct fluid jet streams emanate from a fluid jet emanator in the form of robust radially directed fluid jet streams to impinge upon and ablate difficult and strong thrombus or lesions within a blood vessel. Effluent aspiration is controlled by an exhaust regulator in the form of a roller pump, but effluent removal can be assistingly influenced by the fluid pressure associated with the radially directed fluid jet streams.
摘要:
A gas inflation/evacuation system incorporating a multiple element valved guidewire assembly having an occlusive device for use in thrombectomy or other vascular procedures includes a multiple element valved guidewire assembly having an occlusive balloon removably and sealingly connectible to an included manifold assembly where a guidewire tube defines a lumen for inflation or deflation of the occlusive balloon. A first syringe for evacuating the lumen and a second syringe for introducing a biocompatible gas into the lumen to inflate the occlusive balloon that is in fluid communication with the lumen a plurality of times are included. A sealing valve arrangement selectively seals the proximal portion of the guidewire tube to control inflated or deflated states of the occlusive balloon.

An occlusive guidewire system having an ergonomic handheld control mechanism and torqueable kink-resistant guidewire having a distally located inflatable balloon. The present invention provides convenient structure and overall mechanism for operation of a torqueable kink-resistant guidewire, including evacuation and inflation control of an occlusive balloon, and sealing and severing of a crimpable inflation tube which is in communication with an occlusive balloon. The torqueable kink-resistant guidewire includes a centrally located shaft which imparts robustness to the torqueable kink-resistant guidewire. An inflation lumen aligns within the torqueable kink-resistant guidewire for inflation of the balloon.

摘要:
A gas inflation/evacuation system and sealing system for use with occlusive devices in vascular procedures. The gas inflation/evacuation system is removably connectable via the sealing system to a proximal portion of a guidewire assembly having a guidewire that defines a lumen and includes a first syringe system for evacuating the lumen and a second syringe system for introducing a biocompatible gas into the lumen to inflate an occlusive balloon that is in fluid communication with the lumen a plurality of times. The sealing system selectively seals the proximal portion of the guidewire and includes a crimping mechanism and a compression sealing mechanism having a resilient seal for sealing around the proximal portion of the guidewire when it is passed therethrough.
