Braided angiography catheter having full length radiopacity and controlled flexibility |
摘要 |
A guiding catheter or angiographic catheter for use in cardiovascular interventions which incorporates a low-flexibility multi-layer proximal zone wherein a transition zone separates the proximal zone and a high flexibility distal zone. A mid-region zone transitions the high stiffness of the proximal zone to the higher flexibility of the distal zone to eliminate buckling and kinking. All zones of the catheter have a sufficiently large and substantially similar radiopacity, which allows the entirety of the catheter to be visible in a fluoroscope or other form of x-ray so that the positioning of the catheter can be precisely determined.
