METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PERFORMING NEUROINTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES
First Claim
1. A system of devices for treating cerebral artery disease or the brain, comprising:
- an arterial access sheath adapted to be introduced into a common carotid, internal carotid, or vertebral artery through a penetration in the artery and receive blood from the artery;
a shunt fluidly connected to the arterial access sheath, wherein the shunt provides a pathway for blood to flow from the arterial access sheath to a return site;
a flow control assembly coupled to the shunt and adapted to regulate blood flow through the shunt; and
a treatment device adapted to be introduced into the artery through the arterial access sheath and configured to treat the cerebral artery or brain.

Abstract
A system of devices for treating cerebral artery disease or the brain includes an arterial access sheath adapted to be introduced into a common carotid, internal carotid, or vertebral artery through a penetration in the artery and receive blood from the artery. The system further includes a shunt fluidly connected to the arterial access sheath, wherein the shunt provides a pathway for blood to flow from the arterial access sheath to a return site, and a flow control assembly coupled to the shunt and adapted to regulate blood flow through the shunt. A treatment device is adapted to be introduced into the artery through the arterial access sheath and is configured to treat the cerebral artery or brain.
