Abstract:
An adjustable flow narrow profile balloon device for use in an aorta has a catheter and an adjustable flow device comprising a scaffold having an anchored end fixed to the catheter, a movable end distal to the fixed end and support extending between the anchored end and the movable end, and a flexible tube attached to the support and at least one tension wire attached to the movable end and extending through the catheter such that the at least one tension wire is accessible to move the movable end of the balloon towards the anchored end when the catheter is positioned in the aorta. The adjustable flow device has a collapsed configuration; a fully occluded configuration in which the length of the support lies flat against the catheter and the flexible tube is inflated; and adjustable flow configurations allowing for a desired amount of fluid flow past the device.
