CATHETER FOR ACCESSING BRANCH VESSEL OF ABDOMINAL AORTA

摘要

The present disclosure provides unique products and methods for accessing the vasculature of a patient. The catheter arrangements disclosed herein include a distal segment having a first substantially straight portion, a laterally extending portion, a tip-opposing portion, a tip-deflecting portion and a distal tip. The first substantially straight portion has a longitudinal axis that extends between the tip-opposing portion and the distal tip. The tip-deflecting portion extends transverse to and passes or crosses through the longitudinal axis and deflectably supports the distal tip such that the distal tip can deflect towards the tip-opposing portion upon an external force.
