    Abstract: Embodiments of medical device centering systems and associated methods thereof are described herein and include an elongate medical device, such as a catheter, and a centering device configured to transition between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration. In the extended configuration the centering device can be configured to prevent a distal tip of the catheter from contacting a wall of the vessel. The centering device can provide a spaced apart relationship, or center the tip within the vessel. In an embodiment, the centering device can distend the vessel to provide a fluid pathway between the catheter tip and the vessel wall. Embodiments described herein can mitigate arterial insufficiency while allowing a catheter to be fluid locked along an entire length of the lumen.
