A catheter system is described for performing protected angioplasty and stenting of a patient's carotid bifurcation. A self-expanding stent is deployed across a stenosis in the patient's carotid artery. A catheter system that includes a rapid exchange angioplasty catheter with an occlusion balloon catheter positioned through the guidewire lumen is advanced through the guiding catheter to the distal end of the stent. A releasable linking device holds the catheter system together as a unit. The occlusion balloon is inflated within the stent to occlude the carotid artery and to prevent any embolic debris from traveling downstream from the treatment site. The angioplasty balloon is inflated to dilate the stenosis and to complete the expansion of the stent. The angioplasty catheter is withdrawn and any potential embolic debris is aspirated out through the lumen of the guiding catheter. The occlusion balloon is deflated and the catheter system is withdrawn.

Le système de cathéter ci-décrit permet de réaliser une angioplastie protégée et de poser une endoprothèse vasculaire au niveau d'une bifurcation carotidienne d'un patient. Une endoprothèse vasculaire auto-extensible est déployée sur le site d'une sténose dans l'artère carotide du patient. Un système de cathéter qui incorpore un cathéter d'angioplastie d'échange rapide avec un cathéter à ballon d'occlusion positionné le long de la lumière de fil guide est avancé à travers le cathéter de guidage vers l'extrémité distale de l'endoprothèse vasculaire. Un dispositif de liaison libérable maintient les éléments du système de cathéter ensemble pour former un bloc unitaire. Le ballon d'occlusion est gonflé à l'intérieur de l'endoprothèse vasculaire pour occlure l'artère carotide et pour empêcher tout embole de migrer vers l'aval du site de traitement. Le ballon d'angioplastie est gonflé pour dilater la sténose et pour compléter l'expansion de l'endoprothèse vasculaire. Le cathéter d'angioplastie est retiré et tout embole potentiel est aspiré le long de la lumière du cathéter de guidage. Le ballon d'occlusion est ensuite dégonflé et le système de cathéter retiré.
