摘要：The present invention is a catheter device that includes a disruptable guidewirechannel. The guidewire channel is configured to provide necessary trackability of thecatheter along the guidewire during introduction of the catheter to a treatment site.

Once treatment is completed, the guidewire channel can then be disrupted so as to freethe guidewire from the catheter in situ. The apparatus of the present invention providesdistinct advantages over existing over-the-wire and rapid exchange catheter introductionmethods, including the ability to achieve much faster treatment implement exchanges,the ability to rapidly deliver multiple treatment implements in series, and the ability tomaintain multiple treatment implements simultaneously at a treatment site using a singleguidewire.
