Micro-balloon catheter for superselective angiography and therapeutic occlusion
PH Pevsner
A miniature (0.5 mm) flow-directed balloon catheter with two different silastic balloon tips has been developed. One tip is used for perfusion; the other can be inflated and released to produce vascular occlusion. Examples of the developmental work in dogs and clinical use in patients are presented.
