Benefits of technology

[0009]In another aspect of the present invention, a method for intraluminal treatment of a patient employing an indwelling catheter device is provided. The method includes inserting a distal end of a shaft of a catheter device into a vessel of the patient. The catheter device includes the shaft having a first lumen extending longitudinally therethrough to a first opening and a second lumen extending longitudinally therethrough to a second opening

Problems solved by technology

However, several disadvantages are associated with leaving an indwelling device in place for an extended period of time.
Occluding the opening(s) presents the additional problem that successive treatments require substanti

Embodiment Construction

[0024]Several possible embodiments of an indwelling device of the present invention are shown in the figures. The indwelling device of the present invention may be any kind of medical device used for delivering multiple treatments through the indwelling device rather than a single insertion device that is subsequently removed after the single treatment. Indwelling devices of the present invention include, but are not limited to, devices for treatment of the vasculature, urogenital system, and the gastrointestinal tract. FIGS. 1A and 1B illustrate the present invention with reference to a hemodialysis catheter, however the description is intended to be illustrative of the present invention and not limited to such devices. The terms “proximal” and “distal” as used herein to describe the portions of the catheter. The term “proximal portion” refers the portion of the device that is closest to the operator during use of the medical device. The term “distal portion” refers to the portion ...

Abstract

An indwelling catheter device and a method of treatment using the indwelling catheter device are provided. The indwelling catheter device includes an elongate shaft having a proximal portion, a distal portion, a first lumen extending longitudinally therethrough and an inflation lumen extending at least partially through the shaft. The distal portion of the shaft includes a first opening connected to the first lumen. The catheter device further includes a balloon operably connected to an outer surface of the shaft proximal to the first opening wherein the balloon at least partially surrounds the shaft. The inflation lumen is connected to the balloon for selective inflation and deflation of the balloon for disrupting migration of the occluding material and inhibiting the material from occluding the first opening when the catheter device is indwelling.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]This invention relates generally to indwelling medical devices, and in particular, to catheters susceptible to fibrin deposition, such as catheters for use in hemodialysis treatment.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Catheters or other medical devices for placement into a patient's vascular system are used for many procedures. Frequently these devices are left in place for extended periods, especially when the procedures are performed on a periodic basis and can include several treatments per week. For example, some catheters are used in the simultaneous introduction of fluid into the body and withdrawal of fluid from the body. Such indwelling catheters are particularly useful in hemodialysis. The hemodialysis catheter is typically inserted partially within the body with the distal end placed in a blood vessel and the proximal end external to the body and connectable to another device such as a dialysis unit. An indwelling hemodialysis catheter is advantageous in ...
