The present invention involves an expandable element with an outer sticky surface. The expandable element may be in the form of a balloon with deflated and inflated configurations. The expandable element serves to both dilate a lumen in a blood vessel thereby opening it and to exert force upon the sticky surface in order to press it into apposition against a vessel wall. The outer sticky surface may be provided directly upon the expandable element or on a separate outer sheath that conforms to and follows the contours of the expandable element. The sticky surface may take the form of a biochemical composition and/or a mechanically abrasive structure such as microhooks, hairs, mesh netting, etc. Optionally, additional expandable elements may be provided proximal and distal to the main element to occlude blood flow on either side of a lesion in order to better trap emboli for collection.

A method and apparatus is described that facilitates appropriate placement of a closure device and allows ease of placement with repeated access without bleeding. A suitable biocompatible polymer diaphragm such as silicone or nipple is place on the adventitia of the vessel through a small cutdown incision. The puncture surface is a diaphragm that functions as a self-sealing valve. For embodiments designed for small catheter access such as 4 to 9 Fr, this may be a polymer that elastically seals around the puncture once the catheter is removed. Especially for larger access catheters, such as 10 French to 24 French, a preformed aperture or slit may be cut into the material, allowing controlled and atraumatic penetration of the device and artery. The sealing element may also be fixed to the outside wall of the vessel with holdfasts through a method that facilitates percutaneous delivery through the use of a guiding wire. A method and apparatus is also described that minimizes the potential migration of emboli generated upstream from the access site, an anchoring cannula and method for facilitating localizing of the access device.

The present invention provides a method and device for preventing cerebral embolization during endovascular procedures in the carotid arteries. The invention comprises a guide catheter and balloon, which may selectively occlude the common carotid artery, and further comprises a wire and balloon, which may selectively occlude the internal carotid artery. Occlusion of the common carotid artery will induce retrograde flow at the site, redirecting emboli to the external carotid artery. Occlusion of the internal carotid artery reduces the risk of emboli migrating to the brain, and allows clearance of the site by antegrade blood flow from the common carotid artery. Occlusion of both the common and internal carotid arteries induces a quiescent state at the site during the procedure. Control of blood flow by selective inflation and deflation of either or both balloons, in concert with the procedures, will reduce the risk of emboli migrating to the brain.
