Abstract
The perivascular leak repair system, and method of using the same, of the present invention provides a sealant reservoirwith a repair catheteroperably attached; a flow control devicedisposed between the sealant reservoirand the repair catheter, and the flow control deviceresponsive to a flow control signal; a heart phase detectorgenerating a diastole phase signal; an injection switchgenerating a injection signal; and a flow controllerresponsive to the diastole phase signaland the injection signal, and generating the flow control signal. A method of sealing a perivascular leak comprises identifying the perivascular leak; inserting a repair catheter to the perivascular leak; injecting sealant at the perivascular leak; and removing the repair catheter. The sealant can be injected when the heart is in diastole to sweep the sealant into the perivascular leak.
