Abstract
A method for surgically enlarging an arterial lumen totally occluded by a stenotic lesion, and a unique balloon catheter used during that operation. The balloon catheter is generally rod shaped and includes an elongated tubular member having a double central lumen with a proximal end and a distal end and a balloon portion having a concave distal tip smaller in diameter than the proximal tip. The method takes advantage of the catheter design and includes positioning of the catheter in close proximity to a total occlusion and inflating the balloon to form a plaque cleft.
