Methods and apparatus are provided for removing emboli during an angioplasty, stenting or surgical procedure comprising a catheter having a funnel--shaped occlusion balloon of uniform thickness disposed on a distal end of the catheter. The occlusion balloon is fused to the distal end so that it provides a substantially seamless flow transition into a working lumen of the catheter. Additionally, a distal edge of the occlusion balloon is configured to be in close proximity with an inner wall of a vessel to facilitate blood flow into the catheter and efficiently remove emboli.
L'invention concerne des méthodes et un dispositif destinés à retirer des emboles pendant une angioplastie, une pose de stent ou une opération chirurgicale, et utilisant un cathéter comprenant un ballonnet d'occlusion en forme d'entonnoir (42) d'épaisseur uniforme disposé sur une extrémité distale du cathéter (41). Ce ballonnet d'occlusion est fusionné (67) à l'extrémité distale de sorte à assurer une transition d'écoulement (72) sensiblement continue dans une lumière active du cathéter (fig. 3A). En outre, un bord distal (68) du ballonnet d'occlusion est conçu pour se trouver au voisinage immédiat d'une paroi intérieure d'un vaisseau de sorte à faciliter l'écoulement du sang dans le cathéter et à permettre un retrait efficace des emboles.
