Abstract
Bifurcated delivery assemblies provide bilateral access to first and second branch lumens extending from a main body space or lumen in a patient. One or more interventional devices are combined with the delivery assemblies for delivery s into one or both of the branch lumens. Bilateral renal stenting or embolic protection procedures are performed using the combination delivery/interventional device assemblies. Fluids may also be injected or aspirated from the assemblies. A bifurcated catheter has a first fluid port located on one bifurcation branch, a second fluid port located on a second branch of the bifurcation, and a third fluid port positioned so as to be located within a vena cava when the first and second ports are positioned bilaterally within first and second renal veins.

110. A medical device assembly for performing an interventional procedure in at least one branch lumen extending from a main lumen in a body of a patient, comprising:
-
a bifurcated catheter assembly having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion with first and second branches;
an interventional device assembly;
wherein the first branch is adapted to be positioned within a first branch lumen extending from the main lumen; and
wherein the first branch is adapted to at least in part position the interventional device within the first branch lumen. - View Dependent Claims (111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129)
