BALLOON CATHETER FOR REPAIRING BIFURCATED VESSELS

摘要

A balloon catheter (10) comprises a body (12) with first and second arms (18 and 20) attached to one end of the body. A common inflation lumen extends along the body and branches into each of the arms. Expandable balloons (28 and 30) provided on each arm are in fluid communication with the lumen of each arm. The catherer further includes guide wire lumens in each of the arms. A method for dilating a narrowed bifurcated vessel is also disclosed.
