ABSTRACT:
A multilumen catheter assembly (100) including an elongated body (108) having a proximal end (102) and a distal end (104) and a first lumen (110) having a sidewall (118) extending between the proximal end and the distal end, a first distal opening (151) disposed at the distal end, and a first guide wire opening (152) disposed proximally of the distal end and co-planar with the sidewall. The assembly (100) also includes a second lumen (112) connected to the sidewall (118) and extending from the proximal end toward the distal end, proximally of the distal end (104). The second lumen includes a second opening (155) extending obliquely away from the sidewall distally toward the first distal opening (151) and a second guide wire opening (156) disposed proximally of the second opening (155) and in a plane generally parallel to the sidewall. A method of inserting the catheter (100) into a vessel is also disclosed.
