Abstract

An intraluminal grafting system having a balloon catheter assembly, a capsule catheter assembly and a capsule jacket assembly is used for deploying a graft having attachment means in the vessel of an animal body. The system contains a proximal capsule means and a distal capsule means, wherein the graft is disposed within the two capsule means and a removable sheath covers the graft and capsule means. The graft is comprised of a tubular member having superior and inferior ends, having attachment means with wall engaging members secured thereto. The balloon catheter is disposed within the capsule catheter to provide relative movement between the balloon catheter and the capsule catheter, whereby the graft can be removed from the capsule means. The balloon is inflated to firmly implant the graft and attachment means within the vessel. The graft and attachment means remain in the vessel after the intraluminal grafting system in withdrawn.

Claims (8)

THE EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION IN WHICH AN EXCLUSIVE
PROPERTY OR PRIVILEGE IS CLAIMED ARE DEFINED AS FOLLOWS:
1. A balloon catheter comprising:
an elongate tubular member having a proximal end and a distal end;
a first lumen extending from the proximal end to the distal end of said elongate tubular member, said first lumen configured to receive a guidewire;
a second lumen extending from the proximal end to proximate the distal end of said elongate tubular member;
an inflatable member in fluid communication with said second lumen and positioned proximate the distal end of said elongate tubular member; and a capsule assembly for removably retaining a prosthesis, said capsule assembly positioned proximate the distal end of said elongate tubular member.
2. The balloon catheter of claim 1, further comprising:
a third lumen extending from proximate the proximal end to proximate the distal end of said elongate tubular member;
a control wire slidably disposed in said third lumen, said control wire having a proximal end and a distal end secured to said capsule assembly; and a control device connected to the proximal end of said control wire for moving said capsule assembly in relation to said elongate tubular member.
3. The balloon catheter of claim 2, wherein said capsule assembly comprises a distal capsule and a proximal cap, the distal capsule being secured to the distal end of said control wire for removably retaining a prothesis, the proximal cap being coaxially secured to the elongate tubular member and configured to be slidably retained in the distal capsule.
4. The balloon catheter of claim 3, wherein said control device comprises:
a handle positioned distal of the proximal end of said elongate tubular member; and a locking device for engaging said control wire such that movement of the locking device causes movement of said distal capsule, wherein the locking device is configured to be releasably secured to the handle to prevent movement of said control wire.
5. The balloon catheter of claim 4, wherein said control device further comprises a hypotube secured within the handle and secured coaxially over a portion of said elongate tubular member distal of the handle.
6. The balloon catheter of claim 1, wherein the proximal end of said elongate tubular member is bifurcated to form a first arm and a second arm, the first arm having a lumen in communication with said first lumen and configured to releasably secure a guidewire, the second arm having a lumen in fluid communication with said second lumen and configured to accept means for inflating said inflatable member.
7. The balloon catheter of claim 1, further comprising a pusher for engaging a prothesis, said pusher being slidably disposed on said elongate tubular member proximal said inflatable member.
8. The balloon catheter of claim 7, further comprising a retaining bump fixedly positioned on said elongate tubular member proximal said pusher so as to prevent proximal movement of said pusher.
