A convertible catheter assembly for performing an intravascular procedure incorporates a guide wire lumen having at least a proximal segment thereof manufactured from a collapsible tubular member. The catheter assembly includes a full length guide wire lumen and an intermediate guide wire port therein so that the catheter may be utilized in a single operator exchange or an over-the-wire mode. The collapsible proximal segment of the guide wire lumen decreases the overall profile of the catheter by collapsing radially inward when not in use during a single operator exchange procedure.

L'invention concerne un ensemble cathéter convertible permettant de procéder à une intervention intravasculaire. Ledit ensemble comprend un canal à fil-guide comprenant au moins un segment fabriqué à partir d'un élément tubulaire pouvant s'aplatir. L'ensemble cathéter comprend un canal pour fil-guide pleine longueur et un orifice à fil-guide intermédiaire, de manière que le cathéter puisse être utilisé en mode changement par un seul opérateur ou en mode sur fil-guide. Le segment proximal pouvant s'aplatir du canal pour fil-guide réduit le profil général du cathéter en s'aplatissant dans le sens radial intérieur lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé pendant une opération de changement par un seul opérateur.
