  • Fluid occluding devices and methods
    Publication number: 20060095065
    Abstract: In one aspect, the invention relates to a method of occluding blood in a blood vessel during the imaging of a portion of the blood vessel. The method includes the steps of selecting an inflatable element such that diameter of the inflated inflatable element is greater than the diameter of the blood vessel being imaged, introducing the inflatable element into the blood vessel and underinflating the inflatable element such that the vessel wall is not substantially deformed by the inflatable element, the inflatable element substantially occluding the blood vessel to reduce imaging distortion resulting from vessel fluids.
