Abstract
A method of occlusion detection is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of positioning a medical tool coupled to a distal portion of a distal end of a delivery catheter at a target cavity within a patient. The medical tool includes an expandable balloon, and at least one sensor. The expandable balloon is expanded when positioned at the target cavity. The expandable balloon includes a membrane formed of a plurality of irrigation pores. Fluid is introduced into the target cavity either by injection or through the pores, or both. Using a sensor, a characteristic of blood is detected with the target cavity. The characteristic of blood is processed to determine the presence or absence of an occlusion within the cavity.
