  • Publication number: 20230068326
    Abstract: Temporary vascular occlusion devices and methods for use thereof are described which provide temporary vascular occlusion while maintaining distal perfusion along with vascular access. The temporary vascular occlusion device may include a multiple layer scaffold covering having proximal and distal attachment zones separated by an unattached scaffold covering zone where the scaffold covering is adjacent to but not attached directly to the scaffold frame. Devices for a vascular procedure may access the vasculature using a guide catheter in the shaft of the occlusion device. The occlusion device may then be used to provide protection from contrast media used during the vascular procedure conducted using the access provided by the occlusion device.
