1 . A catheter comprising:
a proximal subassembly defining two proximal lumens, the proximal subassembly including a proximal coiled wire having a first open pitch, and a plurality of openings each extending through a wall of the proximal subassembly and disposed between adjacent coil windings of the proximal coil; and
a distal subassembly defining a single distal lumen, the distal subassembly including a distal coiled wire having a second open pitch which is larger than the first open pitch, and a plurality of openings each extending through a wall of the distal subassembly and disposed between adjacent coil windings of the distal coil.
