ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an endovascular non-balloon flow-directed catheter comprising a tube-like body with a proximal and a distal end, a connecting member connected to the proximal end, and a tube-like distal section which is very flexible and does not retain its shape when external forces are applied to the distal end. As a result this tube-like distal section is guided and carried along by the surrounding flow, in particular, by the flow of surrounding blood.
