20130231675 | Tissue Separating Catheter Assembly and Method - A tissue-separating catheter assembly comprises a rotatable shaft, having a distal shaft portion, and a tissue separator device extending along the shaft. The tissue separator device has a distal separator part at the distal shaft portion movable between a retracted state, towards the distal shaft portion, and an outwardly extending, operational state, away from the distal shaft portion. A pivot joint may be used to pivotally connect the distal separator end to the distal shaft portion. The distal shaft portion may comprise a distally-facing transition surface at a proximal end of the distal shaft portion. First and second energizable tissue separator elements may be used at the transition surface and the tip of the device, respectively. | 09-05-2013 |
20100036481 | Cardiovascular Devices and Methods - A material in a flowable state is applied to the interstitial pores of a radially-expandable endovascular tubular braid structure to modify the tubular braid structure for use in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. The material is cured to form a membrane at least within the coated interstitial pores. A cardiovascular device, for use in a vascular lumen within a body for treatment of cardiovascular disease, includes a braided body with electroporation means for helping prevent restenosis in a cardiovascular lumen. A method for treating cardiovascular disease includes placing a radially expandable and collapsible medical device within a cardiovascular passageway, positioning it at a target site, and placing it in a radially expanded state. Restenosis at the target site is inhibited by a chosen one of electroporation and iontophoresis. The medical device is collapsed and is then removed from the passageway. | 02-11-2010 |
