Abstract
A system may include an elongate tubular member having a first lumen, a second lumen, and a crossover port extending in between the first and second lumens such that the two lumens are in fluid communication with each other via the crossover port. The first lumen may have a distal opening that is more restrictive than a distal opening of the second lumen. Fluid may be inserted into the first lumen, where it flows distally toward the crossover port. When the fluid reaches the crossover port, at least some of the fluid may enter the second lumen where the fluid passes through the distal opening of the second lumen to outside the tubular member. A blocking structure may be disposed near the distal opening of the first lumen, which may at least partially seal the distal opening of the first lumen.
