Abstract
A deflectable multidirectional balloon tipped catheter system for conducting peripheral vascular procedures in a remote entry point such as an opposite extremity or other branch point in the arterial system is provided. The catheter system includes a multidirectional catheter body, which includes a wire lumen and a balloon lumen with a control port for connecting to a balloon control and a balloon inflation port, and a compliant or non-compliant anchor balloon connected near the flexible catheter distal end. A method for treating peripheral vascular disease, administration of pharmaceutical and chemotherapeutic agents to the local vascular system, and therapeutic embolization of vascular territories by using the catheter system is provided.
Claims9
A multidirectional balloon tipped catheter system for conducting closed loop perfusion and reperfusion for treatment of deep venous thrombosis, comprising:
- a multidirectional catheter body having a proximal end and a distal end and including a plurality of curls and flexion points for multidirectional deflections, wherein the catheter body includes a plurality of lumens comprising:
- a main lumen including an exit port at the distal end;
- and
- at least one balloon lumen including a balloon port near the distal end;
- an anchor balloon mounted to near the distal end of the catheter body, wherein the anchor balloon is in fluid communication with the balloon port and wherein the anchor balloon overhangs the distal end of the catheter body by a predetermined distance when the anchor balloon is inflated;
- and
- an inner catheter device disposed in the main lumen, wherein the inner catheter device comprises:
- a flexible inner catheter body including a center lumen, at least one balloon lumen, and a plurality of additional lumens, wherein the inner catheter body is configured to advance beyond the distal end of the multidirectional catheter body, and wherein the additional lumens include exit ports open to outside of the inner catheter body;
- and
- an anchor balloon mounted to near the distal end of the inner catheter body, wherein the anchor balloon is in fluid communication with the balloon lumen and wherein the anchor balloon overhangs the distal end of the inner catheter body by a predetermined distance when the anchor balloon is inflated.
