Intravascular occluding balloon catheters are flexible, image-guided tubes with inflatable balloons designed to temporarily block blood vessels during procedures. Clinically, they’re used for tasks like controlling bleeding, treating aneurysms, delivering chemotherapy, or preparing vessels for surgery, often in critical or specialized settings like neurovascular or peripheral interventions.
These devices are typically single-use and regulated based on their intended use and risk level, with classification varying by jurisdiction. They may feature dual or multi-lumen designs for contrast infusion or guidewire compatibility, and their use requires precise imaging guidance to ensure accuracy and safety during procedures.
