Patent ID: 7244243

Claim:
A catheter system for endovascular procedures comprising; a port for accessing the vascular system from outside a patient, said port having an external surface with a tubular extension for placement in the vascular system, said port having a plurality of channels extending from said external surface through said tubular extension, a first catheter having a proximal end and a distal end and being disposed in one of said plurality of channels, said first catheter having a length sufficient to allow said distal end to traverse said patient's heart when said proximal end extends outside of the patient, a second catheter having a proximal end and a distal end and being disposed in a second of said plurality of channels, said second catheter having a length sufficient to allow said distal end to traverse said patient's vena cava and extend into the venous tree when said proximal end extends outside of the patient, a third catheter constructed and arranged to telescope about said second catheter, said third catheter having a proximal end and a distal end, an inflatable balloon surrounding said distal end of said third catheter, said third catheter having an inflation fluid supply lumen extending therethrough and in fluid communication with said inflatable balloon and said outside of said patient for supplying inflation fluid to said inflatable balloon, said third catheter also having at least one gas pervious tubule attached to an exterior portion of said third catheter proximal to said inflatable balloon, said first catheter having a first lumen extending therethrough for transporting treatment agents, said second catheter having a second lumen extending therethrough for transporting treatment agents, said third catheter having a third lumen extending therethrough for transporting oxygen enriched gas to said at least one gas pervious tubule, whereby endovascular procedures may be executed in different parts of the vascular system.
