Title:
CATHETER FOR POSITIONING INTRACAVITARY GRAFT USING GUIDE WIRE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3876246
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a deliver catheter for positioning an intracavitary graft at an intrabody bifurcation blood vessel of a patient.
SOLUTION: This deliver catheter 24 includes a long catheter preferably with an inflatable balloon 20 neighboring one end part, an intracavitary graft 10 (bifurcated into two short tubular extended parts 19a, 19b) placed around the balloon 20, and a thin auxiliary catheter 25 (extended upstream through a first tubular extended part 19a and further extended downstream through the other short tubular extended part 19b) including a guide wire 26. The deliver catheter 24 is especially applicable in optimally positioning a trouser type graft which enables an aneurysm extended to one or more bifurcation blood vessel, for instance, the iliac artery, to be bridged from single blood vessel such as the aorta.
