CATETER PERFECCIONADO DE AYUDA DURANTE LOS PROCEDIMIENTOS DE ANGIOPLASTIA PRIMARIA

Improved aid catheter during primary angioplasty procedures. The catheter object of the present invention basically comprises a flexible tubular element having a distal end and a proximal end. The said proximal end has a single lumen that can be a simple polymer tube or reinforced with wire mesh, while the distal end is a fast exchange type and is formed by a two lumen tube, one wire guide passage and another lumen whose function could be injection or aspiration, in contact with the proximal lumen. The general profile of the tubular body is a growing profile of cross section from the distal part to the proximal part to carry out the dilatation of the lesion by "dotter" effect, without fragmenting the thrombus.
