Affected Products

Edwards Lifesciences(R) IntraClude(TM) Intra-Aortic Occlusion Device is a 10.5 Fr (3.5mm), triple lumen, 100cm long catheter with an elastomeric balloon near its distal tip designed to occlude the ascending aorta in order to partition the aortic root from arterial circulation. The balloon expands to occlude a range of aorta sizes from 20 to 40 mm. The large central lumen of the IntraClude Device serves three functions: accommodating the guidewire, delivering cardioplegia solution to the aortic root, and venting fluid and air from the aortic root. The two remaining lumens serve as conduits for balloon inflation/deflation and aortic root pressure monitoring.
