Abstract
Abstract Disclosed in an improved temporary stent and drug delivery catheter, for use in the prevention of restenosis of a dilated vascular region, and/or for use in the delivery of a medication to a preselected vascular site. The catheter comprises an elongate body, a perfusion conduit laterally offset from the axis of the catheter body, and an inflation balloon disposed about the perfusion conduit and at the end of the catheter body. In a drug delivery embodiment, a perforated drug delivery balloon is disposed concentrically about the inflation balloon. A first lumen extends through the catheter body for communicating with the inflation balloon, and a second lumen extends through the body for communicating with the drug delivery balloon. Methods of preventing restenosis during a post procedure observation period and of drug delivery to the vascular intima are also disclosed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
92 words
A temporary stent for maintaining patency of a body lumen while permitting perfusion of fluid through the lumen, comprising: an elongate catheter body; an inflatable balloon on the distal end of the catheter body; and at least one perfusion conduit extending through the inflatable balloon, the wall of said perfusion conduit further comprising a spring coil; wherein the longitudinal axis of the perfusion conduit is laterally offset from the longitudinal axis of the adjacent catheter body by a distance which exceeds the radius of the adjacent portion of the elongate catheter body.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
92 words
A temporary stent for maintaining patency of a body lumen while permitting perfusion of fluid through the lumen, comprising: an elongate catheter body; an inflatable balloon on the distal end of the catheter body; and at least one perfusion conduit extending through the inflatable balloon, the wall of said perfusion conduit further comprising a spring coil; wherein the longitudinal axis of the perfusion conduit is laterally offset from the longitudinal axis of the adjacent catheter body by a distance which exceeds the radius of the adjacent portion of the elongate catheter body.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
A temporary stent as in claim 1, wherein the internal diameter of the perfusion conduit is at least about 0.030 inches in a catheter having a deflated profile through the balloon of no more than about 0.060 inches.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
A temporary stent as in claim 1, wherein the proximal end of the inflation balloon surrounds both the catheter body and the perfusion conduit wall, and the distal end of the inflation balloon surrounds only the perfusion conduit wall.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
A temporary stent as in claim 1, wherein the perfusion conduit wall further comprises a tubular coating around the spring coil.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
A temporary stent as in claim 1, further comprising a drug delivery balloon disposed concentrically about the inflation balloon.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
49 words
A temporary stent as in claim 5, wherein said catheter body comprises a first inflation lumen for inflating the inflation balloon and a second drug delivery lumen for delivering drug to the drug delivery balloon, and said first and second lumen extend side by side throughout the catheter body.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
51 words
A temporary stent as in claim 5, wherein said catheter body comprises a first inflation lumen for inflating the inflation balloon and a second drug delivery lumen for delivering drug to the drug delivery balloon, and one of said first and second lumen extends concentrically within the other of said lumen.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
A temporary stent as in claim 1, wherein the perfusion conduit is disposed adjacent at least a portion of the catheter body.

Dependent Claim
117 words
A delivery catheter for delivering a quantity of a liquid or gas to a preselected site in a body lumen, comprising: an elongate catheter body; an inflation balloon on the distal end of the catheter body; a delivery balloon on the catheter, disposed adjacent the inflation balloon; a first lumen extending through the catheter for communication with the inflation balloon; a second lumen extending through the catheter for communication with the delivery balloon; and a bypass conduit extending through the inflation balloon and the delivery balloon, the wall of said bypass conduit further comprising a spring coil; wherein the longitudinal axis of the bypass conduit is generally parallel to and laterally offset from the elongate catheter body.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
117 words
A delivery catheter for delivering a quantity of a liquid or gas to a preselected site in a body lumen, comprising: an elongate catheter body; an inflation balloon on the distal end of the catheter body; a delivery balloon on the catheter, disposed adjacent the inflation balloon; a first lumen extending through the catheter for communication with the inflation balloon; a second lumen extending through the catheter for communication with the delivery balloon; and a bypass conduit extending through the inflation balloon and the delivery balloon, the wall of said bypass conduit further comprising a spring coil; wherein the longitudinal axis of the bypass conduit is generally parallel to and laterally offset from the elongate catheter body.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
17 words
A delivery catheter as in claim 1, wherein the delivery balloon extends coaxially about the inflation balloon.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
26 words
A delivery catheter as in claim 1, further comprising a wire receiving lumen extending throughout at least a portion of the axial length of the catheter.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
122 words
A delivery catheter for delivering a quantity of a liquid or gas to a preselected site in a body lumen, comprising: an elongate catheter body; an inflation balloon on the distal end of the catheter body; a delivery balloon on the catheter, disposed adjacent the inflation balloon; a first lumen extending through the catheter for communication with the inflation balloon; a second lumen extending through the catheter for communication with the delivery balloon; and a bypass conduit extending through the inflation balloon and the delivery balloon, said the bypass conduit comprising a support structure for resisting radial compression of the bypass conduit; wherein the longitudinal axis of the bypass conduit is generally parallel to and laterally offset from the elongate catheter body.
