ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method and system for treating an ostium of a side-branch vessel. The system includes a catheter, a first inflatable member, a stent disposed on the first inflatable member, and a second inflatable member. The first inflatable member is disposed on a distal portion of the catheter, while the second inflatable member is disposed on a proximal portion of the catheter. The first inflatable member is inflated a first time to expand the stent within the side branch. The first inflatable member is then deflated, advanced, and inflated a second time to anchor the system while the second inflatable member is inflated to conform a portion of the stent to the ostium of the side-branch vessel.
