WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/143858
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for hydraulically controlled arterial/venous access are provided. The apparatus and methods may include tubing anastomized to a conduit. A clamp may be positioned over the tubing. The clamp may seal the tubing. The clamp may be configured to unseal the tubing. The clamp may be positioned to seal the tubing such that outer walls of the tubing are compressed flush with each other. The tubing may include an inner lumen and an outer lumen. The outer lumen may terminate in a balloon. The inner lumen may include a compressible portion near the anastomosis site. The inner lumen may include a non- compressible portion. The balloon may encircle at least part of the non-compressible portion. A reservoir may be configured to control an opening or closing of the clamp. When the inner lumen is open, fluid may flow from the conduit to the reservoir.
