A multilumen catheter is provided. The catheter (10) include a proximal end (14) and a distal end (12) separated by a non-coaxial multilumen tube, and includes a multiport manifold (18) at its proximal ends, where at least two of the ports (11a, 11c) of the multiport manifold comprise luer valves (15a, 15c). The catheter contains or is in fluid communication with an acidic dissolution fluid. Also provided are systems for use in flushing a vascular site with fluid, usually at least two different fluids, where the subject systems are made up of two multilumen catheters according to the subject invention, where one of the catheters is inserted inside of the other. In addition, kits comprising various components of the subject systems, e.g., at least two different multilumen catheters, are provided. The subject multilumen catheters, systems and kits find use in a variety of different applications in which it is desired to flush a vascular site with at least one and preferably two different fluids, where particular applications of interest include the treatment of vascular lesions.
