US Patent:
5259837, Nov 9, 1993
Filed:
Dec 27, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/635763
Inventors:
Mark E. Van Wormer - Clayton NM
International Classification:
A61M 2900
US Classification:
604 96
Abstract:
A percutaneous transluminal angioplasty or atherectomy catheter is acoustically enhanced by placing at least two ultrasonographically detectable markers, one at the proximal and one at the distal limits of the catheter balloon. The location of the catheter in the artery is thereby correctly positioned by ultrasonographic imaging.
