Abstract

A method and apparatus for diverting a guidewire and/or catheter through a bifurcated passageway (e.g., blood vessel). The apparatus comprises an elongated tube (17) having an inner lumen (2) being accessible via a proximal end opening (6), a distal end opening (1), and a first and second side openings (3a, 3b) provided on a distal section of said elongated tube, wherein the lumen comprises a partitioning element (5) located in the distal section such that it partitions the lumen into a first and second separate lumens such that the first lumen is accessible via said first side opening and via said proximal end opening and the second lumen is accessible via the second side opening and via the distal end opening. A method for diverting a guidewire and/or catheter along a desired pathway through a bifurcated passageway by using this apparatus is also described.
