ABSTRACT:
An angioplasty catheter has a hollow metal tube having a proximal end and a distal end with at least two lumens extending through the tube. Also, the catheter includes a first angioplasty balloon and a second angioplasty balloon attached to the tube near the distal end of the tube, with each of the balloons being in fluid communication with a respective lumen. The balloons are eccentric with respect to the tube, and the first and second balloons have respective first and second lengths and respective first and second inflated diameters. The first length is different than the second length, and the first inflated diameter is different than the second inflated diameter.
