Abstract
A multiple balloon catheter designed to quickly and easily obtain hemostasis during open and minimal access surgery in the event of venous injury.
Claims14
A multiple balloon catheter for obtaining hemostasis in a vascular structure, said catheter including a connector for a syringe and a connector for a guide wire, said catheter comprising:
- a) a first lumen wherethrough the guide wire may be directed for positioning said catheter in the vascular structure;
- b) a second lumen wherethrough a fluid from the syringe may be selectively directed;
- c) two or more balloons arranged in serial fashion along said catheter and in fluid communication with each other and with said second lumen;
- whereby delivery of fluid from said syringe into said second lumen causes at least one of said balloons to inflate and occlude the surrounding vascular structure.

- a) a guide wire lumen wherethrough the guide wire may be directed for positioning said catheter in the vascular structure;
- b) two or more balloon lumens wherethrough a fluid from the syringe may be selectively directed;
- and
- c) two or more balloons arranged in serial fashion along said catheter wherein each balloon is in fluid communication with a respective balloon lumen;
- whereby delivery of fluid from said syringe into a respective balloon lumen causes said respective balloon to inflate and occlude the surrounding vascular structure.
2 more elements
A method for obtaining hemostasis in a vascular structure, said method comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a catheter having two or more inflatable balloons arranged in serial fashion along the catheter;
- b) positioning the inflatable balloons in a deflated state in the vascular structure of a patient about to undergo a surgical procedure in the vicinity of the vascular structure and balloons;
- c) performing the surgical procedure;
- d) in the event of vascular damage during the surgical procedure, inflating at least one of the balloons to occlude the surrounding vascular structure and thereby obtaining hemostasis.
