Abstract
A catheter system with integrated fluidics management includes a first elongate, flexible tubular body having a proximal end, a distal end and at least one lumen, a hub on the proximal end of the tubular body, a valve system in communication with the hub, and a first port, a second port, and a third port in communication with the valve system. The valve system is configured to selectively place any one of the first port, the second port and the third port into communication with the lumen while simultaneously blocking the other two ports from communicating with the lumen.
Claims18
A catheter system with integrated fluidics management, comprising:
- a first elongate, flexible tubular body having a proximal end, a distal end and at least one lumen;
- a hub on the proximal end of the tubular body, the hub comprising a hemostasis valve;
- and
- a valve system in communication with the hemostasis valve, the valve system comprising a valve manifold, the valve manifold comprising a first port, a second port, and a third port, wherein the first port is configured for connection to a source of vacuum, the second port is configured for connection to a source of saline, and the third port is configured for connection to a source of contrast media;
- wherein the valve system is configured to selectively place any one of the first port, the second port and the third port into communication with the at least one lumen while simultaneously blocking the other two ports from communicating with the at least one lumen, wherein the valve system is configured to selectively place the first port into communication with the at least one lumen to aspirate a clot therethrough.
A catheter system with integrated fluidics management, comprising:
- a first elongate, flexible tubular body having a proximal end, a distal end and at least one lumen;
- a hub on the proximal end of the tubular body;
- a hemostasis valve carried by the hub;
- a second elongate, flexible tubular body extending through the hemostasis valve;
- a valve system in communication with the hub;
- a first port, a second port, and a third port in communication with the valve system;
- and
- a control system configured to adjust the valve system into a contrast injection mode in response to a human input in which the third port is in communication with the at least one lumen, and communication between the second port and the at least one lumen and between the first port and the at least one lumen are obstructed;
- wherein the valve system is configured to selectively place any one of the first port, the second port and the third port into communication with the at least one lumen while simultaneously blocking the other two ports from communicating with the at least one lumen wherein the control system is configured to determine a sealing force of the hemostasis valve around the second elongate, flexible tubular body in response to the human input.
