Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2005123169A1] A vascular steerage access device is provided having an elongate body (81) and a steerable portion. The access sheath (80) has an outside diameter sufficiently small so that it may be inserted into a vessel and a sufficient length to extend through a patient's circulatory system. The access sheath may have two internal lumen, a first lumen sized and configured as an access to a surgical site and a second lumen sized and configured to contain a tensioning device (86) that, when acted upon, will deflect the steerable portion. The tensioning device may be directly or remotely attached to an actuation device that operates to control the tensioning and loosening of the tensioning device.
