Abstract
Described here is a very low profile medical device system having one or more adjustable length (and, optionally, adjustable diameter) balloons, system accessories, and system components. Also described are methods for using the system and its parts, such as by performing procedures, such as dilatation and other methods clear from the description, and for placing implants such as stents or occlusive members into tubular organs, open regions of the body, and other body sites. The system includes at least one balloon integral with a guide member, which balloons are adjustable in length and optionally in diameter. The system may be used to introduce and to deploy implants of types such as those that maintain the patency of an open anatomical structure, install a graft, occlude a selected volume, isolate a region, treat a region in a lumen with a surgical procedure or medicinal materials, or collect other (desirable or undesirable) occlusive members at a site.
