    摘要: This patent document discloses perfusion catheters and related methods for treating complications related to CTO interventions or dilating a vessel occlusion while maintaining a passage through the treated vessel segment. A perfusion catheter can include an inflatable balloon coiled in a helical manner around a central axis into a series of windings. An inner surface of the series of windings, when inflated, can define a passage through the inflatable balloon. A catheter can also include an elongate shaft extending from a proximal portion to a distal portion, having an inner surface that defines a lumen for providing inflation fluid to, or withdrawing inflation fluid from, a distal end of the inflatable balloon. A catheter can further include a guidewire support tube including a lumen, separate from the lumen from the elongate shaft and the passage through the inflatable balloon, for receiving a guidewire.

    摘要: An apparatus for performing a medical procedure and, in particular, an aortic valvuloplasty, in a vessel for transmitting a flow of fluid includes a first inflatable balloon, such a perfusion balloon with a plurality of cells in a single cross-section of the balloon for permitting the fluid flow in the vessel. An inflatable valve, which may take the form of a second inflatable balloon, may be provided for controlling the fluid, flow through the first balloon when inflated. Through selective movement of the second balloon when inflated via the flow rhythms created by the beating heart, a one way valve results that can be used to mimic the natural flow created by the valve under treatment.
