Abstract:
The Trinity catheter is a novel multiballoon device designed to facilitate stent delivery by providing for predilatation, stent deployment, and further expansion on a single shaft. The device was tested extensively in a canine model with a variety of stents before being used in a limited human feasibility trial in Europe. A description of the device and its initial human application is presented.
