APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR ACCESSING THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
摘要
Systems and methods are provided for performing a medical procedure within a patient's body that involves a thoracic duct including an ostium communicating with the patient's venous system. An apparatus is provided that includes a catheter including proximal and distal ends and a lumen extending therebetween. An expandable sealing member is carried beyond the distal end that is expandable from a delivery condition to a deployed condition in which the sealing member defines a concave contact surface shaped for engaging a vessel wall surrounding the outlet of the thoracic duct. The sealing member includes an aspiration port in the contact surface communicating with the catheter lumen for removing fluid from the thoracic duct.
