Abstract

Devices and methods establish and facilitate retrograde or reverse flow blood circulation in the region of the carotid artery bifurcation in order to limit or prevent the release of emboli into the cerebral vasculature such as into the internal carotid artery. The methods are particularly useful for interventional procedures performed through a transcarotid approach or transfemoral into the common carotid artery.

Claims (13)

1. A transcarotid access sheath system, comprising:

a distal sheath body defining an internal lumen, the sheath body sized and shaped to be introduced into an opening in a carotid artery and receive blood flow from the carotid artery;

an elongated tubing attached to a proximal end of the sheath body;

a Y-adapter at a proximal end of the elongated tubing, the Y-adapter including a hub adapted to be removably connected to a flow shunt line, the Y-adapter further including a valve positioned immediately adjacent to an internal lumen of the transcarotid access sheath system, wherein the valve regulates fluid flow out of the internal lumen of the transcarotid access sheath system relative to the hub;

a proximal extension connected to a proximal end of the adapter, the proximal extension formed of an elongated body;

a hemostasis valve at a proximal end of the proximal extension such that the proximal extension spaces apart the hemostasis valve from the adapter; and

a flush line connected to a proximal end of the proximal extension and providing a passageway for fluid to be flushed into the sheath body.

2. A transcarotid access sheath system as in claim 1 , further comprising an eyelet located adjacent a proximal region of the distal sheath.

3. A transcarotid access sheath system as in claim 1 , wherein the eyelet is positioned at a connection between the sheath body and the elongated tubing.

4. A transcarotid access sheath system as in claim 1 , wherein the valve transitions between an open state that permits flow out of the internal lumen of the transcarotid access sheath system and a closed state that blocks flow out of the internal lumen of the transcarotid access sheath system.

5. A transcarotid access sheath system as in claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the sheath system is malleable.

6. A transcarotid access sheath system as in claim 1 , further comprising the flow shunt line.

7. A transcarotid access sheath system as in claim 6 , wherein the flow shunt line is removably connected to the hub.
