The assembly also includes a second lumen () connected to the sidewall and extending from the proximal end toward the distal end, proximally of the distal end. The second lumen () includes a second opening () extending obliquely away from the sidewall distally toward the first distal opening () and a second guide wire opening () disposed proximally of the second opening () and in a plane generally parallel to the sidewall. A method of inserting the catheter into a vessel is also disclosed.
