LOW PROFILE GUIDING CATHETER FOR NEUROVASCULAR APPLICATIONS

摘要

A low profile guiding catheter has a non-round shape for use in delivery of multiple microcatheters for treatment of neurovascular defects, such as for treatment of aneurysms. The low profile guiding catheter includes torque transmittal guidance walls that are flexible linearly but not circumferentially, and that are neither collapsible nor kinkable.
