The present invention relates to a device for protected angioplasty, intended for the implantation of luminal endoprosthesis (or stent) in critical areas such as carotid or vertebral arteries, where protection of downstream-situated organs is highly desirable. The device comprises a central stent pusher part comprising a microcatheter bearing at its distal end an atraumatic tip, said atraumatic tip being prolonged by a tip balloon part comprising an inflatable occlusive balloon which may be inflated with a physiologically acceptable fluid at predetermined rates, a fluid-releasing section extending at the proximal side of the occlusive balloon, said releasing section being able to release the fluid from the balloon into an upstream section of the vessel when the pressure of said fluid reaches a predetermined level.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour angioplastie protégée, destiné à l'implantation d'endoprothèses luminales (ou stents) dans des zones critiques telles que les artères carotides ou vertébrales où il est hautement souhaitable de disposer d'une protection pour les organes situés en aval. Le dispositif comporte une pièce centrale de poussée sur le stent. Cette pièce comprend un microcathéter portant en son extrémité distale une pointe atraumatique. Cette pointe atraumatique se prolonge par un ballonnet d'extrémité comportant d'une part un ballonnet occlusif gonflable, et d'autre part un organe de dégagement de fluide. Le ballonnet occlusif gonflable peut se gonfler à différents niveaux au moyen d'un fluide physiologiquement compatible. L'organe de dégagement de fluide, qui est monté sur l'extrémité proximale du ballonnet occlusif, est capable de dégager le fluide à partir depuis le ballonnet vers un segment amont du vaisseau lorsque la pression du fluide considéré atteint un niveau défini.
