MULTI-LUMEN CATHETER FOR CARDIAC DEVICE DEPLOYMENT

摘要

Deploying a cardiac device using a multi-lumen catheter includes advancing a multi-lumen sheath through vasculature towards a target anatomy, advancing a shapeable guide-wire through a first lumen disposed within the multi-lumen sheath, advancing a cardiac device through a second lumen disposed within the multi-lumen sheath using a device delivery catheter, such that the cardiac device advances toward the target anatomy, advancing the shapeable guide-wire, such that a distal end of the shapeable guide-wire extends past the distal end of the sheath and abuts against the cardiac device, and simultaneously manipulating, with each of the shapeable guide-wire and the cardiac device delivery system, the orientation of the cardiac device within the target anatomy until a target plane is achieved.
