VASCULAR SHEATH WITH VARIABLE LUMEN CONSTRUCTION
First Claim
1. A system for delivering treatment to a renal artery and a peripheral artery, the system comprising:
- a renal catheter;
a peripheral catheter; and
an introducer sheath having a first lumen and a second lumen;
wherein the first lumen is configured to receive the renal catheter and is sized to extend from a patient insertion site to a femoral or iliac artery location near or distal to a patient aortic branch, and the second lumen is configured to receive the peripheral catheter and is sized to extend from the patient insertion site to an opposite femoral or iliac artery location near or distal to the patient aortic branch.

Abstract
A system for delivering a renal treatment and a peripheral treatment includes a renal catheter, a peripheral catheter, and an introducer sheath having first and second lumens. The first lumen is configured to receive the renal catheter and is sized to extend from a patient insertion site to a femoral or iliac artery location near or distal to a patient aortic branch. The second lumen is configured to receive the peripheral catheter and is sized to extend from the patient insertion site to an opposite femoral or iliac artery location near or distal to the patient aortic branch. A method of delivering a renal treatment and a peripheral treatment includes positioning an introducer sheath in an iliac artery, advancing a renal catheter and a peripheral catheter through the introducer sheath, where the renal catheter is separated from the peripheral catheter within the introducer sheath by a flap.
