| 20090318857 | SHEATH FOR USE IN PERIPHERAL INTERVENTIONS - A dual lumen introducer sheath provides access to at least one renal artery and at least one peripheral blood vessel of a patient. The introducer sheath includes a proximal hub comprising first and second ports, a first lumen, and a second lumen. The first lumen extends from the first port to a first distal aperture and has sufficient length such that when the first port is positioned outside the patient the first distal aperture is positionable in the abdominal aorta at or near origins of the patient's renal arteries. The second lumen extends from the second port to a second distal aperture, has a shorter length than the length of the first lumen, and is configured to allow passage of a catheter device through the second lumen and into or through an iliac artery contralateral to an insertion point of the introducer sheath into the patient. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20090105799 | RENAL ASSESSMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Techniques for assessing a physiological profile of a patient include advancing a catheter shaft of a bifurcated renal catheter system into an aorta of the patient, deploying branches of the bifurcated renal catheter system into the renal arteries of the patient, detecting a renal arterial physiological parameter with a sensing mechanism, and assessing the physiological profile of the patient based on the physiological parameter. Related techniques include modifying or initiating pharmacological or surgical treatments for the patient based on the assessment. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20080221551 | ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY TREATMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Systems and methods for the clinical treatment of individuals susceptible to or suffering from acute kidney injury are provided. Drugs, biologics, or other therapies or treatments are administered by fluid agent delivery directly to the kidneys via their arterial blood supply. Bifurcated renal artery infusion catheter devices and methods can treat kidney injury in patients with locally-delivered drugs, biologics, and other agents, so as to increase the ability of the kidneys to excrete nitrogenous waste products from the blood, and prevent or ameliorate azotemia. | 09-11-2008 |
