Abstract
A device and method are disclosed for partially occluding a blood vessel such that an area of hemostasis within the blood vessel is created without interrupting the blood flow through the blood vessel. The device comprises a first and second occlusive members for partially occluding a blood vessel, spaced apart from one another, wherein the occlusive members are inflatable to at least the inner diameter of the blood vessel. A tubular connector interconnects the first and second occlusive members and forms a conduit which allows the blood to flow through. When the occlusive members are inflated, an area of hemostasis is created between an outer surface of the tubular connector and an inner wall of the blood vessel while blood continues to flow through the tubular portion. A tube adapted to extend through an opening in the blood vessel to deploy the device includes multiple lumens, such as an inflation lumen to inflate the device and a suture lumen to collapse the device.
