An intravascular balloon occlusion device according to the invention is shown. The device is ideally suited for use in a coronary artery bypass graft procedure. The device includes a body having at least one selectively inflated balloon provided on the distal end thereof. Preferably, the body is a closed end body so that fluid can only flow from the proximal end of the body into the balloon. In use, the distal end of the body and the balloon are inserted into an aperture provided in the aorta. The ballon is inflated and then the device is rectracted until the ballon seats against the incision or aperture in the aorta, thereby effectively sealing the aperture from the blood flow through the aorta, but not occluding blood flow through the body of the aorta itself. Next, the graft vessel is telescopically positioned on the occlusion device and mounted to the aorta. Once the vessel is secured thereto, the balloon is deflated and then the occlusion device is retracted from both the aorta and the graft vessel. Finally, the second end of the graft vessel is mounted to the appropriate coronary artery.

Dispositif d'occlusion par ballonnet intravasculaire. Ce dispositif convient parfaitement aux interventions de pontage aorto-coronarien par greffe, et il comprend un corps possédant au moins un ballonnet à gonflage sélectif monté sur son extrémité distale. De préférence, le corps a une extrémité fermée de sorte que du fluide ne peut s'écouler dans le ballonnet qu'à partir de l'extrémité proximale du corps. Lors de l'utilisation, l'extrémité distale du corps et le ballonnet s'introduisent dans une ouverture ménagée dans l'aorte. On gonfle le ballonnet puis on retire le dispositif jusqu'à ce que le ballonnet vienne se placer contre l'incision ou ouverture dans l'aorte, de manière à isoler celle-ci du débit sanguin dans l'aorte sans pour autant créer une occlusion du débit sanguin dans le corps de l'aorte proprement dite. Ensuite, on met en place de manière télescopique le vaisseau greffe sur le dispositif d'occlusion, et on le fixe à l'aorte. Une fois le vaisseau solidarisé, on dégonfle le ballonnet et on retire le dispositif d'occlusion aussi bien de l'aorte que du vaisseau greffe. Enfin, on fixe la seconde extrémité du vaisseau greffe à l'artère coronaire appropriée.
