ABSTRACT:
An intravascular catheter comprises a flexible tubular catheter body having a guidewire lumen. A pull cord extends through the catheter from a first position adjacent the proximal end of the lumen to an end position of the lumen remote from the proximal end, typically adjacent the distal end, where the pull cord is attached to the catheter body. The pull cord defines at least one loop extending about the guidewire lumen. The pull cord is longitudinally movable relative to the catheter body except where it is attached thereto. Thus, pulling the cord from the first position can cause the pull cord loop to straighten and trap a guidewire occupying the lumen, to suppress longitudinal motion of the guidewire.
