INTRA-VENTRICULAR INFUSION AND EVACUATION CATHETER FOR TREATMENT OF INTRACEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE (ICH)

Abstract:

An infusion/aspiration catheter comprises an elongate catheter body, at least one infusion lumen, and an aspiration lumen extending between a proximal end and a distal end of the catheter body. The aspiration lumen terminates in a distal fluid port at the distal end of the catheter body. The catheter further comprises arms respectively having proximal ends affixed together at the distal end of catheter body. The distal fluid port of the catheter body is between the proximal ends of the arms, the arms have lumens in fluid communication with the infusion lumen(s), and each of the arms has fluid ports in fluid communication with the lumen of the respective arm. The catheter further comprises at least one infusion connector in fluid communication with the infusion lumen(s), and an aspiration connector in fluid communication with the aspiration lumen(s).
