Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9742871A1] The invention provides methods and apparatus for determining cross-sectional dimensions of body lumens, such as the diameter of a blood vessel. According to one exemplary method, the diameter of a blood vessel is measured by first inflating a balloon catheter (10) within the lumen until the balloon (20) diameter matches the lumen diameter. The balloon (20) includes at least one measurement element (26) which indicates the expanded balloon cross-sectional area, circumference or diameter.
