  • Publication number: 20230398334
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a catheter shaft extending from a proximal end to a distal tip. The apparatus includes a distal balloon positioned on a distal segment of the catheter shaft proximal to the distal tip. The distal balloon is coated with a Natural Vascular Scaffolding (NVS) treatment. The NVS treatment is configured to enhance maturation of an arteriovenous fistula.

  • Publication number: 20220370220
    Abstract: An apparatus and methods tissue restoration are provided. The apparatus may include a catheter shaft extending from a proximal end to a distal tip and a translucent first distal balloon positioned on a translucent distal segment of the catheter shaft inside of and concentric with a second distal balloon proximal to the distal tip in fluid communication with a drug source via a first lumen, the first distal balloon may include first and second outer surfaces, and longitudinal and circumferential channels. A first light fiber and a second light fiber each positioned in the catheter shaft and extending through the translucent distal segment. The drug source provides at least one drug to the first distal balloon via the first lumen.

  • Publication number: 20200101269
    Abstract: An apparatus and methods to form a tissue scaffolding are provided. The apparatus may include a catheter shaft extending from a proximal end to a distal tip, a distal balloon positioned on the catheter shaft proximal to the distal tip, and a proximal balloon positioned on the catheter shaft proximal to the distal balloon. The apparatus may further include an intermediate balloon positioned on a distal segment of the catheter shaft proximal to the distal balloon and distal to the proximal balloon. The intermediate balloon and the distal segment each include a translucent material. A light fiber may extend through the distal segment. A first lumen and a second lumen may be arranged in the catheter shaft, the first lumen comprising a first port located between the distal balloon and the intermediate balloon, and the second lumen comprising a second port located between the intermediate balloon and the proximal balloon.
