Abstract
Abstract A dilation-drug delivery catheter comprises a dilation portion for dilating a stenosis and a drug delivery portion for delivering antithrombolytic, antiproliferative, or any other type of medication, to the dilation site. The drug delivery portion of the catheter is located within the dilation portion, which can be retracted to reveal the drug delivery portion, after dilation. Occlusion balloons are preferably provided on the drug delivery portion to isolate the dilation site during drug delivery.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
189 words
A dilation-drug delivery catheter comprising: a dilation portion comprising an outer catheter shaft, a dilation balloon attached to the outer catheter shaft, the outer catheter shaft comprising a dilation lumen for providing inflation fluid to the dilation balloon and a central lumen; a drug delivery portion located at least in part within the central lumen, the drug delivery portion comprising an inner catheter shaft having a distal end and at least one drug delivery port in the distal end, the inner catheter shaft defining a drug delivery lumen for providing a drug to the drug delivery port, the drug delivery port being located in a portion of the inner catheter shaft lying within the central lumen, a first occlusion balloon attached to the inner catheter shaft distal to the drug delivery port and an inflation lumen in fluid communication with the first occlusion balloon, and a second occlusion balloon attached to the inner catheter shaft proximal to the drug delivery port, wherein the dilation portion is adapted to retract from the distal end of the drug delivery portion to reveal the first occlusion balloon and the drug delivery port.
