Zusammenfassung:	A medical catheter (10) and a method for infusing blood into a patient. The medical catheter (10) has first and second inlet openings (28, 30), an outlet opening (32), a passageway connecting the openings (34), and a flexible valve member (36) between the inlet openings. The valve member controls the size of the passageway between the inlet openings. The method includes inserting a conventional occlusion catheter into the medical catheter through the valve member and extending the tip of the occlusion catheter beyond the outlet opening of the medical catheter so that the blood vessel within the patient can be restrained.
