Patent ID: 7513884

Claim:
An implantable branched catheter system comprising: a supply catheter section comprising a proximal end and a distal end; two or more delivery branches in fluid communication with the distal end of the supply catheter section, wherein each delivery branch of the two or more delivery branches comprises: a delivery catheter section comprising a proximal end and a distal end; a flow restrictor located along the delivery catheter section, wherein the flow restrictor restricts flow through the delivery catheter section, wherein the flow restrictor is located proximate a distal end of the delivery catheter section; a branch valve located between the distal end of the supply catheter section and the proximal end of the delivery catheter section; a supply valve located proximate the distal end of the supply catheter section, wherein the supply valve controls flow through the distal end of the supply catheter section; and a flow detector located proximate the proximal end of the supply catheter section, wherein the flow detector detects flow through the supply catheter section.
