Publication number: 20040230176Abstract: The present invention provides a system for treating a vascular condition that inhibits restenosis at the ends of a stent by delivering a therapeutic agent to the vessel wall at and beyond the stent ends. The system comprises a catheter, a stent, and a therapeutic agent. The catheter includes an inflatable balloon. The stent is operably coupled to the balloon. The therapeutic agent is disposed on at least a portion of the balloon and is delivered to a wall of a vessel at a proximal and a distal end of the stent when the balloon is inflated. The therapeutic agent may also be disposed on at least a portion of the stent. The system may further comprise a protective coating disposed under the therapeutic agent, over the therapeutic agent, or both under and over the therapeutic agent.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2004Publication date: November 18, 2004Applicant: Medtronic Vascular, Inc.Inventors: John P.

Patent number: 6780174Abstract: A bifurcated catheter assembly is provided for treating bifurcated vessels. The bifurcated catheter assembly comprises an elongate main catheter shaft having a stiffer proximal portion, a more flexible distal portion, and a pair of branch catheters attached to the distal portion. An expandable member is located on each of the branch catheters. The balloons are held together to provide a low profile as the device is advanced over the tracking guide wire. Upon reaching the bifurcated vessel, the balloons separated and are advanced over separate guide wires into separate branches of the bifurcated vessel. The bifurcated catheter assembly can be used to dilate a stenoses or deliver and implant a Y-shaped stent in the bifurcation.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2002Date of Patent: August 24, 2004Assignee: Advanced Cardiovascular Systems, Inc.Inventor: Kevin M.
