Operating A Vessel Occlusion Catheter
First Claim
1. A control and inflation device for a balloon catheter, comprising a pressure tank for fluid, a dosing unit for dosing of fluid into the pressure tank, a connection for an inflation lumen of the balloon catheter which can be connected with the pressure tank via a control valve, a first pressure measuring device for measuring the fluid pressure prevailing in a balloon of the balloon catheter and a control circuit to which balloon pressure values detected by the pressure measuring device are fed and which cooperates with the dosing unit for dosing a defined amount of fluid into the pressure tank as a function of the balloon pressure values.

Abstract
Some systems and methods for operating a vessel occlusion catheter may include a control and inflation device to control the filling of the balloon in such a manner that the vessel wall will not be overstressed while the safe occlusion of the blood vessel is achieved.
