Abstract:
The present disclosure teaches a novel medical device and method of use, employing a unique shape that allows the device to use the lesser (inferior) curve of aortic Arch as a fulcrum of support for a guide catheter, for subsequent prevention of recoil and displacement thereof, while delivering additional catheters or devices into the distal branches of the great vessels. A method for using same.

Claim (Index 6):
A method of using the device set forth in  claim 1 , the method comprising:\n (a) attaching said device set forth in  claim 1  at the distal end of a delivery system; (b) positioning said delivery system within a body lumen at a target arch; (c) positioning segment three of said device set forth in  claim 1  such that the distal end of said segment three extends into a target vessel; (d) positioning segment two of said device set forth in  claim 1  such that said segment two's center rests on the fulcrum formed by the top of said target arch while the distal end of said segment three extends into said target vessel; (e) positioning segment one of said device set forth in  claim 1  such that the proximal end of said segment one extends down a vessel below the fulcrum formed by the top of said target arch, while said segment two's center rests on the fulcrum formed by the top of said target arch, and said distal end of said segment three extends into said target vessel; and (f) removing said device set forth in  claim 1  using said delivery system; (g) advancing additional wires, catheters, or other devices through said tube into the distal vasculature of said target vessel.
