  • Publication number: 20230404606
    Abstract: A vascular device for treating a tract of a blood vessel has an intraluminal element having at least one dispensing opening for dispensing a pharmacological agent in the tract of the blood vessel, and an abrasion element coming into contact with an inner wall of the blood vessel to remove material from the inner wall. The abrasion element has a contact portion for removing the material and a collection portion for collecting the removed material. and is configured to expand between a rest configuration and a contact configuration. The abrasion element has a first surface facing the intraluminal element and configured to face a fluid inside the blood vessel. The first surface in the contact configuration forms a concave portion adapted to face the fluid inside the blood vessel. The collection portion includes the concave portion to collect the material removed from the inner wall treated with the pharmacological agent.

  • Publication number: 20220105319
    Abstract: A vascular catheter includes a catheter shaft having a distal end, a proximal end, a handle, at least two occlusion elements adapted to isolate a volume of the blood vessel, and an expandable balloon, between the two occlusion elements. The catheter shaft includes a first hole that opens into the expandable balloon. The catheter handle includes a first pumping device associated with a first path and with a first tank containing a first fluid, a second pumping device associated with a second path and with a second tank containing a second fluid, and a synchronization device connectable both to the first and to the second pumping devices.
