ABSTRACT:
A multi-lumen vascular catheter for use with a guidewire, comprising a longitudinally extending catheter shaft having a proximal end and a distal end and having at least first and second lumens extending distally from the proximal end, each of the lumens having a proximal opening, wherein the first lumen is adapted to receive a guidewire, and a first connector at the proximal end of the catheter providing a first channel communicating with the interior of the first lumen for insertion of a guidewire therethrough, the connector including means for permitting a guidewire extending longitudinally through the first channel into the first lumen to be moved laterally out of the first channel through the first connector beginning at the proximal end of the first connector. The catheter may be an angioplasty catheter. Also disclosed are methods for using the catheter and for exchanging catheters and guidewires during vascular catheterization procedures.
