Title: Expandable laser catheter with opitical fibres attached to a flexible portion with folds where the flexible portion is at a distal end of the catheter and a expandable device expands the flexible portion
Inventor: WINSTON THOMAS R
IPC: A61F2/958
Filed: 1999-07-29
Abstract: Expandable laser catheters 10 for utilizing laser energy to remove obstructions 36 from body passages 34 are described. In one embodiment, the laser catheter includes a shaftway 12 having a distal end including a flexible portion configured in a series of radial folds. Multiple optical fibers 30, configured to transmit laser energy, extend along the shaftway and are attached to the flexible portion. An inflatable, ring-shaped balloon 22 is attached to the catheter 10 within the flexible portion 20. In use, the catheter 10 is inserted into a body passage 34 such as an artery, and advanced until the distal end 18 is adjacent to an obstruction. The balloon 22 is inflated to expand the flexible portion 20 and to bring the optical fibers 30 nearer the inner wall of the body passage. Laser energy is directed by the optical fibers 30 toward targeted regions of the obstruction 36. As the catheter is advanced and the process repeated, a core 50 is formed from the obstruction 36 and contained within the flexible portion 20. The flexible portion 20 is then contracted to hold the core 50, and the core 50 is removed from the body passage by withdrawing the catheter 10.
