Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention is directed to balloon folding configurations and methods for catheter devices having dual lumens in radial proximity to the balloon, such as, but not limited to, self-aligning stent delivery systems for treatment of bifurcated lesions. The configuration designs alters the conventional catheter profile by packing balloon materials in otherwise vacant areas located on both sides of the side branch shaft and/or the parent shaft, such that the device takes on more of a round profile instead of the classical elongated egg-shaped profile.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A stent delivery system comprising: a catheter including a proximal portion and a distal portion, the distal portion comprising a stent, the stent being expandable from a contracted configuration to an expanded configuration, the distal portion of the catheter further including a first tubular shaft and a second tubular shaft disposed within the stent, the first tubular shaft being spaced apart from and extending parallel to the second tubular shaft, a…
