Abstract:
1. A system for simultaneously flushing an internal site with two different fluids, said system comprising; (a) a multi-lumen catheter system comprising first, second and third lumens; (b) an automatic metered fluid delivery system comprising a first external reservoir containing a first fluid, which is a dissolution fluid, and a second external reservoir containing a second fluid, which is a dissolution fluid attenuating fluid, wherein said metered fluid delivery system is configured to automatically control the delivery of said first and second fluids into said first and second lumens of said multi-lumen catheter system at substantially the same flow rate to maintain to pressure substantially constant at an internal site; (c) a negative pressure means sufficient to aspirate fluid from said third lumen of said multi-lumen catheter system; (d) a balloon inflation means, including a balloon inflation lumen, wherein said dissolution fluid consisting of at least one of a surfactant/detergent solution or an acidic solution and, said dissolution fluid attenuating fluid comprising an extracorporeal fluid consisting of at least one of a dilution solution or a pH elevating solution, wherein said automatic metered fluid delivery system is configured to deliver said dissolution fluid and said dissolution fluid attenuating fluid to a target lesion in a body, each of said dissolution fluid and said dissolution fluid attenuating fluid being individually controlled by pressure regulation of the external reservoirs using a force of between about 500 pounds to about 600 pounds.
