Patent

CA 2220683

An apparatus and method are disclosed for performing ERCP procedures and other diagnostic and surgical procedures performed in the gastrointestinal system. A multi-lumen catheter (12) is inserted into a duct or body passage through the accessory channel of an endoscopic instrument. The catheter typically includes a cylindrical sheath (204) and substantially uniform diameter with a plurality of independent lumens (such as 59, 57) extending lengthwise therethrough. The catheter can be used to place stents, visualizing materials, and a needle-knife (206) assembly for increasing access to the common bile duct.

L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé pour effectuer des procédures de cholangiopancréatographie rétrograde endoscopique ainsi que d'autres procédures chirurgicales et de diagnostic dans le système gastro-intestinal. On insère un cathéter (12) à plusieurs lumières dans un conduit ou un passage du corps, par le canal d'un instrument endoscopique. Le cathéter se compose généralement d'une gaine cylindrique (204) dont le diamètre est sensiblement uniforme, et de plusieurs lumières indépendantes (59, 57) s'étendant dans le sens de la longueur du cathéter. Ce dernier permet de mettre en place des drains-tuteurs (206), de visualiser des matériaux, et un ensemble aiguille-bistouri (206) pour faciliter l'accès au canal cholédoque.
