Device to create proximal stasis
First Claim
1. A system for occluding the flow of blood in a vessel of a human vascular system comprising:
- a catheter having proximal and distal ends and a lumen; and
a sealing device having a proximal sealing portion and a distal sealing portion and a lumen, the proximal sealing portion being sized to seal against the lumen of the catheter and the distal sealing portion being sized to seal against the wall of the vessel when the distal sealing portion is extended from the distal end of the catheter, wherein the distal sealing portion comprises an expansion control section having a restraining member.

Abstract
A method and system of performing an intravascular procedure at a treatment site in a vessel of a patient. A device creates a seal to prevent the flow of blood during the treatment of vascular disease. A seal may be formed between the distal inside diameter of a sheath or catheter such as a guide catheter as well as within a vessel, such as an artery or vein. An elongated device having a distal portion extending from the catheter and having a fluid impermeable membrane disposed about at least the distal end of the device is used to seal the vessel. The system includes a device to occlude blood flow and a distal protection device to filter or remove embolic debris.

19. A system for protecting a patient from emboli released during an intravascular procedure performed at a treatment site in a vessel of a patient comprising:
-
a guide catheter having proximal and distal ends and a lumen;
a sealing device having a distal sealing portion and a proximal sealing portion and a lumen, the proximal sealing portion being sized to seal against the lumen of the guide catheter and the distal sealing portion being sized to seal against the wall of the vessel at a location proximal to the treatment site when the distal sealing portion is extended from the distal end of the guide catheter, wherein the distal sealing portion comprises an expansion control section having a restraining member; and
a distal protection device sized to be delivered through the lumens of the guide catheter and sealing device to a location in the vessel distal to the treatment site.
