摘要：
A deflation device including a catheter having a proximal opening at a proximal end and a distal opening at a distal end and a coring member disposed within the catheter and comprising a handle disposed near the proximal end of the catheter, a cable, and a coring tip disposed near the distal end of the catheter wherein pressing said distal end of said catheter against said wall of said balloon creates a substantially normalized surface of said balloon relative to a coring tip and wherein the coring tip is a sharpened, hollow cylinder. A method for deflating and removing an implantable, inflatable device comprising: pressing a distal end of a catheter against the wall of an inflated balloon of an implanted device advancing the coring tip within the catheter beyond the distal end of the catheter and into the balloon, whereby a hole adapted for advancing the catheter is created in the wall of the balloon and advancing the catheter into the balloon.
