ANGIOPLASTY DEVICE WITH EMBOLIC RECAPTURE MECHANISM FOR TREATMENT OF OCCLUSIVE VASCULAR DISEASES

摘要

An angioplasty device with emboli pull-in mechanism is provided that includes an infusion catheter with a proximal end and a distal end. A balloon catheter having an inflatable cavity formed by an inner wall and an outer wall is disposed coaxially with the infusion catheter. The balloon catheter has a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end of the balloon catheter is sealingly attached to the infusion catheter. And the balloon catheter has at least one communicating channel disposed from the outer wall to the inner wall of the balloon catheter. A suction catheter is disposed between the balloon catheter and the infusion catheter. The suction catheter is in fluid communication with the at least one communicating channel in the balloon catheter.
