Abstract:
A catheter that is configured to achieve high velocity injections of contrast solution that will not readily wash out in retrograde blood flow. The distal end of the catheter can include a plurality of fluid outlet openings. The fluid outlet openings are spaced circumferentially around the circumference of the catheter and the fluid outlet openings have ejection axes that are angled in a direction toward the distal end so that a velocity component of the ejected contrast solution is against or opposite the retrograde blood flow.

Claim (Index 1):
A catheter comprising:\n a catheter body having a proximal end portion, a distal end portion with a distal end, an exterior surface defining a circumference, and a fluid passageway extending from the proximal end portion to the distal end portion; a plurality of fluid outlet openings formed in the catheter body adjacent to the distal end portion thereof, the fluid outlet openings extend from the fluid passageway through the exterior surface to place the fluid passageway in fluid communication with an exterior of the catheter body; the fluid outlet openings are spaced circumferentially around the circumference of the catheter body; and each one of the fluid outlet openings has an ejection axis that is angled in a direction toward the distal end.
