Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for deploying and/or retrieving a balloon (12) configured to at least partially occlude a vessel, such as the coronary sinus. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention provide a stylet (40) and a balloon catheter configured such that the stylet can be inserted into a lumen in the catheter (10) and used to exert a force against an interior portion of the balloon in order to stretch the balloon and reduce the diameter of the balloon. In one embodiment, the stylet and the balloon both have specially- configured tips that work together to prevent tearing of the balloon when the stylet is exerting a force against the interior of the balloon's tip.

La présente invention concerne, dans des modes de réalisation, des systèmes et des procédés pour déployer et/ou récupérer un ballonnet (12) conçu pour occlure au moins partiellement un vaisseau, tel que le sinus coronaire. Plus particulièrement, les modes de réalisation de la présente invention concernent un stylet (40) et un cathéter à ballonnet conçu de façon que le stylet puisse être inséré dans une lumière du cathéter (10) et utilisé pour exercer une force contre une partie intérieure du ballonnet, dans le but détirer le ballonnet et de réduire le diamètre du ballonnet. Dans un mode de réalisation, le stylet et le ballonnet comprennent tous les deux des extrémités à configuration particulière, qui fonctionnent conjointement pour prévenir le déchirement du ballonnet lorsque le stylet exerce une force contre lintérieur de lextrémité du ballonnet.
