US12599755B2 - Vascular Catheter and Method
Summary
The USPTO granted Patent US12599755B2 to I-VASC S.R.L. for a vascular catheter featuring dual occlusion elements and an expandable balloon with integrated pumping and synchronization devices. The patent, with 17 claims, was filed on January 28, 2020.
What changed
The USPTO granted Patent US12599755B2 to I-VASC S.R.L. covering a vascular catheter assembly with at least two occlusion elements, an expandable balloon positioned between them, a catheter handle with dual pumping devices, and a synchronization device for coordinated fluid management. The patent contains 17 claims and provides 20-year exclusionary rights from the January 28, 2020 filing date.
Medical device manufacturers developing similar catheter technologies should review the granted claims to assess potential infringement risks and evaluate whether licensing or design-around strategies are necessary. Competitors may need to modify balloon configurations, occlusion element designs, or pumping mechanisms to avoid the protected technology.
What to do next
- Review patent claims for potential infringement
- Consider licensing or design-around options if developing similar catheter technology

Abstract
A vascular catheter includes a catheter shaft having a distal end, a proximal end, a handle, at least two occlusion elements adapted to isolate a volume of the blood vessel, and an expandable balloon, between the two occlusion elements. The catheter shaft includes a first hole that opens into the expandable balloon. The catheter handle includes a first pumping device associated with a first path and with a first tank containing a first fluid, a second pumping device associated with a second path and with a second tank containing a second fluid, and a synchronization device connectable both to the first and to the second pumping devices.
