Abstract
Abstract A blood perfusion balloon catheter is provided. The perfusion catheter includes an elongate tubular shaft having a proximal portion and a distal portion and a plurality of toroidal-shaped inflatable balloons laced through the distal portion of the tubular shaft, the balloons creating a blood flow lumen when they are inflated. The perfusion catheter may also include a cylindrical sheath attached to the balloons.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
64 words
A blood perfusion balloon catheter comprising: a) an elongate tubular shaft having a proximal portion and a distal portion; b) a plurality of toroidal-shaped inflatable balloons laced through the distal portion of the tubular shaft, the balloons creating a blood flow lumen when in the inflated state; and c) an inflation lumen in fluid communication with the inflatable balloons for inflating the inflatable balloons.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
64 words
A blood perfusion balloon catheter comprising: a) an elongate tubular shaft having a proximal portion and a distal portion; b) a plurality of toroidal-shaped inflatable balloons laced through the distal portion of the tubular shaft, the balloons creating a blood flow lumen when in the inflated state; and c) an inflation lumen in fluid communication with the inflatable balloons for inflating the inflatable balloons.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
132 words
A blood perfusion balloon catheter for insertion into a vessel comprising: a) an elongate tubular member having a proximal end and a distal end; b) a toroidal-shaped inflatable balloon assembly laced through the distal end of the tubular member, the balloon assembly including a plurality of toroidal-shaped inflatable balloon members having an uninflated state and an inflated state; the balloon assembly configured such that 1) when the balloon member is in an uninflated state, the blood in the vessel may flow around the balloon assembly, and 2) when the balloon members are in an inflated state, a flow lumen is defined through the balloon members to allow the blood to flow through the balloon members; and c) an inflation lumen in fluid communication with the balloon members for inflating the balloon members.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
132 words
A blood perfusion balloon catheter for insertion into a vessel comprising: a) an elongate tubular member having a proximal end and a distal end; b) a toroidal-shaped inflatable balloon assembly laced through the distal end of the tubular member, the balloon assembly including a plurality of toroidal-shaped inflatable balloon members having an uninflated state and an inflated state; the balloon assembly configured such that 1) when the balloon member is in an uninflated state, the blood in the vessel may flow around the balloon assembly, and 2) when the balloon members are in an inflated state, a flow lumen is defined through the balloon members to allow the blood to flow through the balloon members; and c) an inflation lumen in fluid communication with the balloon members for inflating the balloon members.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
The blood perfusion balloon catheter of claim 2 further comprising a guide wire lumen for receiving a guide wire.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
