Claim 21:
22. A method for operating an assembly including: a catheter having: a substantially tubular inner core forming an inner hollow lumen; a first inflation sleeve comprising a first inflation lumen therethrough and extending a majority of the length of the tubular inner core; a wound wire mesh securing the first inflation sleeve to an outer surface of the tubular inner core; a balloon affixed to a distal portion of the tubular inner core and in fluidic communication with the first inflation lumen of the first inflation sleeve; a second inflation sleeve comprising a second inflation lumen therethrough and extending a majority of the length of the tubular inner core, wherein the wound wire mesh secures the second inflation sleeve to the outer surface of the tubular inner core; a first opening approximate a proximal end of the catheter providing a first fluidic passageway from the first inflation lumen of the first inflation sleeve to exterior of the catheter; and a second opening approximate the proximal end of the catheter providing a second fluidic passageway from the second inflation lumen of the second inflation sleeve to the exterior of the catheter; and the assembly further including a luer having: a distal opening sized to receive a proximal portion of the catheter; a vent port configured to communicate with the second opening; a pump port configured to communicate with the first opening; and a proximal opening configured to allow insertion of devices into an inner hollow lumen of the catheter, the method comprising the step of:
flowing a fluid into and out of the catheter by flowing the fluid into the first inflation lumen, through the balloon, and out the second inflation lumen.
