Abstract
Occluding guidewires to access bodily lumen of a patient are disclosed. The occluding guidewires include a slotted tube and a balloon secured to a distal end of the slotted tube. The slotted tube includes a plurality of slots. The slots are in fluid communication with a lumen defined by the slotted tube. The balloon is secured about the slotted tube over one or more slots to permit inflation media to be communicated through one or more slots from the lumen into the inflation chamber of the balloon. The occluding guidewire may also include a proximal tube. A proximal lumen of the proximal tube is in communication with the lumen of the slotted tube. The occluding guidewire may be configured with a relatively small diameter using aspects of the present inventions.
