Implantable medical endoprosthesis delivery system with hub
First Claim
1. An implantable medical endoprosthesis delivery system, comprising:
- an inner member having a first lumen disposed therein;
an outer member at least partially surrounding the inner member so that a second lumen is disposed between the inner and outer members, the second lumen being configured so that an implantable medical endoprosthesis can be disposed therein;
a hub including a fluid introduction port, a first fluid flow path in fluid communication with the fluid introduction port, and a second fluid flow path in fluid communication with the fluid introduction port;
wherein the first flow path is in fluid communication with the first lumen and the second flow path is in fluid communication with the second lumen;
wherein the hub comprises a body having a proximal face, a distal face, and a bore extending from the proximal face through the body to the distal face, the bore being in fluid communication with the first and second lumenswherein the body comprises;
a first section that defines a first portion of the bore; and
a second section proximal the first section, the second section defining a second portion of the bore;
wherein the first portion of the bore receives a proximal end of the outer member, the second portion of the bore receives a proximal end of the inner member, and the second portion of the bore includes a channel that defines at least a portion of the second fluid flow path; and
wherein the first portion of the bore has a diameter larger than a diameter of the second portion of the bore.

Abstract
Implantable medical endoprosthesis delivery systems and methods for making and using the same. An example implantable medical endoprosthesis delivery system may include an inner member having a first lumen disposed therein. An outer member may at least partially surround the inner member so that a second lumen is disposed between the inner and outer members. The second lumen may be configured so that an implantable medical endoprosthesis can be disposed therein. The delivery system may also include a hub including a fluid introduction port, a first fluid flow path in fluid communication with the fluid introduction port, and a second fluid flow path in fluid communication with the fluid introduction port.
