20090131958 | TWO-PART CLAMPING DEVICE - A surgical clamping device for hollow anatomical structures such as, essentially, blood vessels, but also tracheas, intestines, etc. This device comprises three initially independent parts, namely two jaws, each jaw being formed of an elongate member having distal and proximal ends, and a mandrel that can be slipped over the proximal ends of the two jaws and that is able to bring the axes of the two jaws closer together, thus pinching an anatomical structure. The mandrel comprises a distal, pinching part and a proximal, handling part, these two parts being joined together by a locking part, the jaws being bendable at the level of the locking part when the clamp is activated, the distal, pinching part of the mandrel remaining in place by friction on the jaws when it is unlocked from the proximal, handling part. This surgical clamping device applies more particularly to the clamping of the aorta. | 05-21-2009 |
20110224725 | FLUIDTIGHT PUNCTURING AND OCCLUSION DEVICE FOR ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE - A surgical staple for a surgical stapling device fitted with a substantially flat back that can deform between a closed position and an open penetration position of the staple, and two spaced-apart pin rows. The back comprises two parts that are hinged with respect to each other. The two pin rows are affixed by the base of the pins to these two parts, substantially lying along axes perpendicular to a plane of each of the two parts. In the closed position of the back a free end of the pins of the two rows converge, but when the back is in the open penetration position, the axes of the pins of the two rows tend to align parallel to each other so as to offer minimal resistance to penetration into tissues and the parts of the back bearing the bases of the pins are separated by a gap larger than in the closed position. The staple is particularly designed to be used with a combined device for plugging and fluidtight puncturing of a wall of a hollow organ. | 09-15-2011 |

20130041395 | INTRODUCTORY ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR INSERTING INTRACARDIAC INSTRUMENTS - An introduction assembly and method for the insertion of medical instruments through a thoracic passage into a selected one of either the left or right atrium of the heart. Catheters or other instruments dedicated to performing required cardiac maneuvers are passed through an introductory sheath having a distal end disposed within the targeted atrium. Upon completion of the required cardiac maneuvers the instruments are removed from the atrium and a closure assembly is passed through the introductory sheath into a closing relation to an entry site, formed in the pericardium and corresponding atrium wall, to facilitate healing thereof. The introductory assembly and method facilitates the concurrent, operative disposition of a plurality of catheters or other instruments into the interior of the selected atrium through different thoracic passages and entry sites thereby allowing synergistic interaction between the multiple catheters in the performance of the required cardiac maneuvers. | 02-14-2013 |
20140142687 | DEVICE AND METHOD OF TREATING HEART VALVE MALFUNCTION - An assembly and method for treating heart valve malfunction including mitral regurgitation wherein an elongated chord is movably disposed within an introductory sheath and an anchor is secured to a distal end thereof. The sheath and the chord are introduced into the heart chamber and penetrate and pass through the anterior mitral valve leaflet and preferably through the mitral valve orifice. The sheath and the chord are then extended transversely across the heart chamber and the distal end of the chord is anchored to an opposing portion of the heart wall. The sheath is withdrawn back along the length of the anchored chord through the anterior mitral valve leaflet and the proximal end of the chord is secured to the valve leaflet. The chord is secured under sufficient tension to maintain an intended positioning of the valve leaflet to overcome mitral regurgitation. | 05-22-2014 |
20140142689 | DEVICE AND METHOD OF TREATING HEART VALVE MALFUNCTION - An assembly and method for treating heart valve malfunction typically including treating of mitral regurgitation wherein an instrument assembly includes an elongated chord movably disposed within an introductory sheath and including an anchor secured to a distal end thereof. An attendant method includes concurrently introducing the sheath and the chord into the heart chamber through an exterior wall and penetrating and passing the sheath and the chord through the anterior mitral valve leaflet. The sheath and the chord are then extended transversely across the heart chamber and the distal end of the chord is anchored to an opposing portion of the heart wall. The sheath is then withdrawn back along the length of the anchored chord and through the anterior mitral valve leaflet and a securing member connects the proximal end of the chord to the valve leaflet. The chord is secured between the valve leaflet and the opposing heart wall under sufficient tension to maintain an intended positioning of the valve leaflet to overcome mitral regurgitation. | 05-22-2014 |
20140172004 | ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE OCCLUSION - An assembly and method for performing the occlusion of the left atrial appendage including a delivery instrument being positioned in communicating relation with the interior of the left atrial appendage and disposing a distal end portion of the delivery instrument in covering relation to the entrance thereof. Occlusion material is movably connected to the delivery instrument and includes at least one elongated single strand of flexible material. A length of the single strand is progressively fed through the delivery instrument into the interior of the left atrial appendage and the flexibility thereof is sufficient to progressively form an arbitrarily intermingled array of occlusion material therein. The dimension and configuration of the formed arbitrarily intermingled array is sufficient to fill a predetermined portion of the interior of the left atrial appendage and thereby conform to the configuration thereof. | 06-19-2014 |
20140330263 | PERICARDIAL CUTTING ASSEMBLY - The present invention is directed to an assembly, and methods thereof, for cutting the pericardium of a subject. The assembly is designed for insertion into the thoracic cavity via a thoracic passage localized between adjacent ribs of the subject. The assembly is particularly useful for cutting a window in the pericardium to allow for access to the heart for performing further procedures. | 11-06-2014 |
20150039023 | CLOSURE SYSTEM FOR ATRIAL WALL - A closure system, assembly and attended method for closing and opening in the tissue of the patient includes first and second closure members each including a biased construction operative for disposition of the closure members into an out of retracted and expanded orientations. A connector is disposed in interconnecting relation with the closure members and structured to establish at least a partial spacing there between. The biased construction and the interconnection of the closure members facilitate con current disposition of the closure members with one another into and through an introductory instrument as well as independent and successive disposition of the first and second closure members into a closing relation to the tissue opening upon exiting the introductory instrument. | 02-05-2015 |
