Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a Low Profile Perfusion Catheter, for use in coronary angioplasty applications. Preferably, the catheter is provided with an inflatable dilatation balloon, and a perfusion lumen extending therethrough. The diameter of the perfusion lumen is enlargable from a first, reduced diameter to a second, enlarged diameter. In one embodiment, an axially movable tubular support is movable within the lumen from a proximal, insertion position to a distal perfusion position. In another embodiment, the support is radially expandable. In a further embodiment, a porus drug delivery balloon is provided.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
A drug delivery catheter, comprising: an elongate, flexible tubular body; an inflatable drug delivery balloon on the tubular body; at least one influent port on the tubular body on a first side of the balloon; at least one effluent port on the tubular body on a second side of the balloon, said influent and effluent ports in fluid communication with each other by way of a central lumen through the balloon; and an axially movable support within the central lumen, said support movable from a first, proximal position to a second, distal position, wherein at least a portion of the central lumen has a first inside cross-sectional flow area when the support is in the proximal position and a second, larger inside cross-sectional flow area when the support is in the distal position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
133 words
A drug delivery catheter, comprising: an elongate, flexible tubular body; an inflatable drug delivery balloon on the tubular body; at least one influent port on the tubular body on a first side of the balloon; at least one effluent port on the tubular body on a second side of the balloon, said influent and effluent ports in fluid communication with each other by way of a central lumen through the balloon; and an axially movable support within the central lumen, said support movable from a first, proximal position to a second, distal position, wherein at least a portion of the central lumen has a first inside cross-sectional flow area when the support is in the proximal position and a second, larger inside cross-sectional flow area when the support is in the distal position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
A catheter as in claim 1, wherein said support comprises a spring coil.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
A catheter as in claim 1, further comprising an axially movable push wire extending through the catheter for moving the support from the proximal position to the distal position.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
A balloon catheter as in claim 1, further comprising an elongate guidewire lumen extending through said tubular body.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
38 words
A catheter as in claim 4, further comprising an access port on the side of the tubular body for providing access to the guide wire lumen, said access port being located on the first side of the balloon.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
A balloon catheter as in claim 4, further comprising a port on the proximal end of the tubular body for accessing the guidewire lumen to provide an over-the-wire catheter.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
16 words
A catheter as in claim 1, further comprising an inflation balloon disposed within the delivery balloon.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
42 words
A catheter as in claim 7, wherein at least a portion of the delivery balloon is secured to the inflation balloon so that the profile of the delivery balloon is reduced in response to a reduction in profile of the inflation balloon.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
89 words
A catheter, comprising: an elongate, flexible, tubular body; a drug delivery balloon on the tubular body; at least one influent port on the tubular body on a first side of the balloon; at least one effluent port on the tubular body on a second side of the balloon, said first and second ports in fluid communication with each other by way of a central lumen through the balloon; and a movable support within the central lumen, said support movable from a first, reduced diameter to a second, enlarged diameter.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
89 words
A catheter, comprising: an elongate, flexible, tubular body; a drug delivery balloon on the tubular body; at least one influent port on the tubular body on a first side of the balloon; at least one effluent port on the tubular body on a second side of the balloon, said first and second ports in fluid communication with each other by way of a central lumen through the balloon; and a movable support within the central lumen, said support movable from a first, reduced diameter to a second, enlarged diameter.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
13 words
A catheter as in claim 9, wherein said support comprises a spring coil.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
36 words
A catheter as in claim 10, wherein said support is movable from the first to the second diameter by relative rotation of one end of the coil with respect to the other end of the coil.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
14 words
