Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
50 words
A balloon device for implanting an intraluminal aortic or aortodiiliac prosthesis for repairing aneurysms, comprising: a catheter having at least three internal passages; and first and second inflatable balloons disposed upon the catheter and separated by a predetermined distance, each balloon connected to at least one of the internal passages.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
50 words
A balloon device for implanting an intraluminal aortic or aortodiiliac prosthesis for repairing aneurysms, comprising: a catheter having at least three internal passages; and first and second inflatable balloons disposed upon the catheter and separated by a predetermined distance, each balloon connected to at least one of the internal passages.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
The balloon device of Claim 1, wherein the catheter has an introduction end and the first balloon is located proximate the introduction end of the catheter and the second balloon is located at a distance from the first balloon which is proportional to the length of the prosthesis to be implanted.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
76 words
The balloon device of Claim 2, wherein the catheter passes through the second balloon, the second balloon having first and second ends and a longitudinal axis, the first end of the second balloon being disposed closer to the first balloon than the second end of the second balloon; and the catheter enters the second end of the second balloon at an angle of approximately thirty degrees with respect to the longitudinal axis of the second balloon.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
46 words
The balloon device of Claim 3, wherein the second balloon has a substantially tubular cross-sectional configuration with a radial dimension R; and the catheter enters the second end of the second balloon at an approximate distance of 1/2R from the longitudinal axis of the second balloon.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
68 words
The balloon device of Claim 2, wherein the first and second balloons each have a substantially tubular cross-sectional configuration with a radial dimension R about their longitudinal axes; the radial dimension R of the first balloon being greater than the radial dimension R of the second balloon, and the catheter passes through the first and second balloons coaxially with the longitudinal axes of the first and second balloons.
