Abstract
Abstract A catheter and method of use adapted to intermittently deliver fluids to and drain fluids from a body vessel having an interior lumen occluding balloon. The selective inflation and deflation of the inner balloon controls the occlusion or communication of an inner lumen. The inner occluding balloon is defined between the distal end of the catheter and a proximal lumen opening allowing for the selective isolation of the proximal openings from the catheter distal end. The catheter of the present invention and several methods of use thereof are ideally suited for aortic perfusion and providing myocardial infusion in antegrade fashion using a single lumen. The catheter is further provided with a double lobed outer balloon for selectively occluding the body vessel, such as the aorta, and to provide a bloodless region to complete the proximal end of an anastomosis while perfusing the myocardium to restart the heart.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
177 words
A catheter for perfusing a human body via in an aorta, comprising: a catheter body extending from a proximal end to a distal end, said catheter body having an exterior surface and defining a first lumen and a second lumen, wherein said first lumen is open at said catheter body distal end and said second lumen is closed, wherein said first lumen has a sufficiently large diameter to allow blood flow therethrough at a rate and pressure sufficient to perfuse a human body via an aorta, said catheter body having an first opening defined between said first lumen and said second lumen, said catheter body further having a proximal second opening extending from said first lumen to the exterior surface, said second opening being disposed proximal said first opening; and a first expandable balloon member sealingly disposed across said first opening, said first balloon member being expandable to fully occlude said first lumen when pressure is applied to said second lumen such that said catheter body proximal second opening is isolated from said first lumen distal opening.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
177 words
A catheter for perfusing a human body via in an aorta, comprising: a catheter body extending from a proximal end to a distal end, said catheter body having an exterior surface and defining a first lumen and a second lumen, wherein said first lumen is open at said catheter body distal end and said second lumen is closed, wherein said first lumen has a sufficiently large diameter to allow blood flow therethrough at a rate and pressure sufficient to perfuse a human body via an aorta, said catheter body having an first opening defined between said first lumen and said second lumen, said catheter body further having a proximal second opening extending from said first lumen to the exterior surface, said second opening being disposed proximal said first opening; and a first expandable balloon member sealingly disposed across said first opening, said first balloon member being expandable to fully occlude said first lumen when pressure is applied to said second lumen such that said catheter body proximal second opening is isolated from said first lumen distal opening.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
The catheter as specified in claim 1 wherein said catheter further comprises a second expandable balloon member disposed about said catheter body distal end, wherein said catheter body proximal second opening is disposed proximal said second balloon.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The catheter as specified in claim 2 wherein said second balloon has a pair of lobes defining a recess therebetween when inflated.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
The catheter as specified in claim 3 wherein said catheter body further comprises a third lumen isolated from said first lumen and said second lumen, said third lumen being in fluid communication with said second balloon.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
36 words
The catheter as specified in claim 4 wherein said catheter body further includes a fourth lumen extending from said catheter body proximal end to said catheter body distal end and opening distal of said second balloon.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
44 words
The catheter as specified in claim 5 wherein said catheter further includes an annular member defining an annular cavity about said catheter body distal end, said annular cavity having a plurality of annularly spaced openings and being in fluid communication with said fourth lumen.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
60 words
The catheter as specified in claim 1 wherein said catheter further comprises a third lumen extending to said catheter body distal end being isolated from said first lumen and said second lumen, wherein said third lumen has a sufficiently large diameter to allow blood flow therethrough at a rate and pressure sufficient to perfuse a human body via an aorta.
