  • Title: [Clinical application of a Biballoon indwelling intraluminal shunt system for carotid endarterectomy].
    Author: Furui T, Asano Y, Shimosawa S, Hasuo M.
    Journal: No Shinkei Geka; 1984 Oct; 12(11):1293-7. PubMed ID: 6514126.
    Abstract:
    Clinical applications of newly developed shunt system for carotid endarterectomy were described. The shunt is a silicone tube equipped with balloons at both ends (Biballoon indwelling intraluminal shunt). The blood leak from the gap between a shunt tube and the inner wall of the carotid artery is prevented by inflating balloons after shunt insertion. This shunt system was used in seven cases of cerebral infarction resulted from the carotid stenosis and was proved to be more convenient than other known shunts.
