    摘要: Apparatus and method are described for introducing an imaging catheter to the coronary vasculature. A guiding catheter is introduced so that the distal end of the guiding catheter engages a coronary os. The distal end of the guiding catheter is shaped so that a mark on the distal end is oriented in a predetermined orientation relative to the coronary vasculature. An imaging catheter is then introduced through the guiding catheter and an image of the mark is produced with the imaging catheter while in the guiding catheter. In this manner, the relative orientation of the produced image and the coronary vasculature is known.

    摘要: A catheter exchange member is provided for reducing exchange time when replacing one catheter (or similar device) with another in the vascular anatomy of a patient. The catheter exchange member includes a tubular body having a proximal and a distal end and a central lumen. A tapered fixture having a distal port and a proximal opening which is larger than the distal port is attached to the tubular body at the distal port. An elongate shaft is attached to and extends proximally from either the tapered fixture or the tubular body. The exchange member is preferably used within a conventional guiding catheter where the tubular body is advanced through a distal end of the guiding catheter and into the coronary artery while the tapered fixture remains in the guiding catheter. This configuration allows various therapeutic and diagnostic devices to be stored within the guiding catheter just proximal to the tapered fixture. One of the devices can be placed within the coronary artery by simply advancing it through the tapered fixture which channels the device into the tubular body and into the coronary artery. The device may be replaced with another by simply removing it and advancing the second device into the tapered fixture and into the coronary artery

    摘要: A catheter system has a balloon angioplasty device disposed about a common lumen near its distal end. The balloon catheter is pre-fitted with a stent which is deployed when the balloon is inflated. The common lumen is in communication with multiple lumens within a proximal region of the catheter body to allow for positioning of the catheter over a movable guide wire and convenient delivery of imaging or interventional devices to a desired region of a body passageway being treated. The procedure for stent deployment optionally includes steps of imaging a lumen by ultrasound before and after stent deployment to identify the site at which a stent is needed, to confirm that the stent is being and has been deployed at a longitudinal position which does not overlap a branched segment of the body passageway, and to ensure that the stent has been radially opened to an optimum diameter.

    摘要: The claimed invention provides an improved tracking tip for use with a work element in a catheter system having a flexible tubular catheter body. Use of a tracking tip according to the present invention will facilitate advancement of the work element within the catheter body and will substantially eliminate the possibility that the work element will puncture the catheter body. Preferred embodiments will comprise a wire coil and will often include a rounded end member, which may be in the form of a solder ball, at the distal tip of the wire coil. In some embodiments, the rounded end member may be coated with a lubricant or a suitable non-stick material to further improve tracking of the work element within the catheter body.
