Embodiment Construction

[0077] The current document refers to various embodiments of catheters with shafts of selectable lengths available for the treatment of vascular lesions. Catheters available in selectable lengths facilitate the selection of available lengths for the treatment of a single intravascular target site, as well as for procedures involving the treatment of multiple target sites. Since the available shaft lengths of selectable-length catheters can be selected before and during the medical procedure, selectable-length catheters provide protection against initial non-optimal placement and / or guidewires after initial catheterization into the patient's vessel. Adjustments that do not match the length of the catheter, changes to which may otherwise require removal of the first catheter and / or guidewire that was originally inserted, and reinsertion of a second catheter and / or guidewire of a different length. . The catheter thus significantly simplifies the treatment of multiple target site...

Abstract

The current document is directed to usable-length-selectable catheters that employ usable-length-selectable catheters to treat malformations, constrictions, obstructions, lesions, and blockages withinpatients' blood vessels. The usable length of the shaft of a usable-length-selectable catheter, to which the current application is directed, can be adjusted over a set of lengths prior to and duringmedical procedures.

Description

technical field [0001] This document relates to catheters for the treatment of vascular diseases, and more particularly to catheters in more than one available length configuration, which are used to treat a variety of different vascular diseases. Background technique [0002] Angioplasty catheters have been developed to treat a variety of different vascular diseases in patients' veins and arteries, which, if left untreated, often lead to progressive health conditions and complications including ischemia, heart attack, embolism and stroke . Angioplasty catheters can typically be inserted into a patient's blood vessel along a previously inserted guidewire at a variety of different vascular access points, including the femoral, subclavian, radial, pedal, and brachial arteries. The catheter is advanced over the guidewire to position the expandable portion of the angioplasty balloon catheter in or near the target area of ​​the blood vessel. The balloon is then inflated to mech...
