  • Balloon bifurcated lumen treatment
    Patent number: 8936567
    Abstract: Balloon systems for treating bifurcated lumens include desirable burst and folding characteristics. In some cases, the balloon systems can be formed by varying the wall thickness of a balloon parison.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 5, 2009
    Date of Patent: January 20, 2015
    Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.
    Inventors: Richard Noddin, Dan Quillin, Daniel J. Horn, Ying Xiong, Richard Goodin, The Thomas Trinh Tran, Yousef F. Alkhatib, Steve Hoff, Richard Dunn, Thomas Holman, Zach Tegels
  • Bifurcation catheter assembly with distally mounted side balloon and methods
    Patent number: 8398697
    Abstract: A catheter assembly and related methods directed to a main balloon and a side balloon, wherein the side balloon is coupled in fluid communication with the main balloon at a location distal of the side balloon. In one example, a side inflation member couples the side balloon in fluid communication to the main balloon at a distal end portion of the main balloon. A side catheter branch of the catheter assembly, which defines a side guidewire lumen, can be operatively mounted to the side balloon at a side balloon connection point to help maintain alignment of the side catheter branch relative to the side balloon.
