Devices and methods for preventing distal embolization using flow reversal by partial occlusion of the brachiocephalic artery

   
   

The invention provides a medical device having a catheter and one or more expandable constricting/occluding members. The catheter is adapted for use with therapeutic or diagnostic devices, including an angioplasty/stent catheter and an atherectomy catheter. The constrictor/occluder is mounted at the distal end of the catheter. Manometers may be mounted distal to one or more constrictors for measuring pressure distal to the constrictor(s). Methods of using the devices for preventing distal embolization during extracranial or intracranial carotid procedures or vertebral artery procedures by reversing blood flow in an internal carotid artery, an external carotid artery, and/or a common carotid artery toward the subclavian artery are disclosed.

Вымысел обеспечивает медицинское приспособление имея катетер и one or more expandable члены constricting/occluding. Катетер приспособлен для пользы с терапевтическими или диагностическими приспособлениями, включая катетер angioplasty/stent и atherectomy катетер. Constrictor/occluder установлено на дистальном конце катетера. Манометры могут быть установленные дистальными к one or more constrictors для измеряя давления дистального к constrictor(s). Показаны методы использования приспособлений для предотвращать дистальное embolization во время extracranial или внутричерепных каротидных процедур или vertebral процедур по артерии путем обращать подачу крови в внутренне каротидной артерии, внешней каротидной артерии, and/or общей каротидной артерии к subclavian артерии.
