Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides catheters whose lumen may be cleared of obstructions without transducing pressure changes to the patient compartment in which its proximal end is placed. In an illustrative embodiment, the lumen is cleared by a flush fluid supplied from or to a secondary lumen, with the patient compartment isolated with a gate mechanism. In another illustrative embodiment, the lumen is cleared by a progressively expanding balloon therein.
