Abstract
Sensor devices and methods of operating for use with catheter-based treatments of microcardial microvascular obstruction by infusion of fluids having protective agents into vasculature are provided herein. Such catheter devices can include a first lumen configured for advancement over a guidewire and for passage of fluid having protective agents after removal of the guidewire and a second lumen for inflation of an angioplasty balloon and can further include a temperature and/or pressure sensor mounted on the catheter body. Such catheter devices can further include use of a distal occlusive membrane between the angioplasty balloon and distal end to facilitate infusion into microvasculature. The occlusive membrane can be deployed by relative movement of concentric channels, thereby reducing the need for additional lumen while optimizing the size of the catheter device and lumens.
