Abstract
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a medical device may include a deflation catheter assembly. The deflation catheter assembly may include a tubular member having an outer surface, an inner surface, and a central lumen defined by the inner surface. The deflation catheter assembly may also include a plurality of passages extending through a side of the tubular member and from the inner surface to the outer surface. The deflation catheter assembly may also include an anchoring member coupled to the tubular member. A distal portion of the tubular member may extend distal the anchoring member. The plurality of passages may be at the distal portion of the tubular member. The anchoring member may be configured to move between an unexpanded state and an expanded state. At least a portion of the anchoring member may protrude radially outwardly from the outer surface of the tubular member when the anchoring member is in the expanded state.
