Coronary ostial cardiac circulation isolation catheter and ventricular unloading reperfusion systems and methods

Abstract

An interventional ostium occlusion catheter includes a catheter tube with at least one port at a first end, a tip at a second end, and a central lumen, with a positioning component and an occlusion component on the surface of the catheter tube close to the tip. A method of coronary intervention using the catheter includes maneuvering the catheter to an ostium; inserting the catheter into a coronary vessel; activating the positioning component and the occlusion component; and delivering an infusion via the lumen. An interventional system for improving management of ischemic cardiac tissue during acute coronary syndromes includes the catheter; a blood infusion device that delivers controlled reperfusate; and a ventricular unloading device that manipulates myocardial oxygen demand in a coronary chamber. The operator can mitigate reperfusion-related and oxygen-related tissue injury by precisely modulating oxygen re-exposure when re-establishing flow and when using a ventricular unloading device.
