20130018259 | Target Identification Tool For Intra-Lumenal Localization - An intralumenal marker that includes an atraumatic anchoring portion that allows the marker to be fixed within a body lumen, such as an airway, without risk of migration. The anchoring portion may be an elongate body that reassumes a relaxed, coiled configuration after being delivered from a catheter. A body portion is attached to the anchoring portion and provides a function such as radiopaque marking, drug delivery, illumination, or the like. | 01-17-2013 |

20120271343 | EXPANDABLE IMPLANT DEVICES FOR FILTERING BLOOD FLOW FROM ATRIAL APPENDAGES - Implant devices for filtering blood flowing through the ostium of an atrial appendage have component structures one or more of which are expandable. Devices with component structures in their unexpanded state have a compact size suitable for intra-cutaneous delivery to an atrial appendage situs. The expandable component structures are expanded in situ to deploy the devices. A device may have sufficiently short axial length so that most or almost all of the device length may fit within the ostium region. | 10-25-2012 |

20140163605 | FILTER APPARATUS FOR OSTIUM OF LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE - Apparatus for permanent placement across an ostium of a left atrial appendage in a patient, which includes a filtering membrane configured to extend across the ostium of the left atrial appendage. The filtering membrane has a permeable structure which allows blood to flow through but substantially inhibits thrombus from passing therethrough. The apparatus also includes a support structure attached to the filtering membrane which retains the filtering membrane in position across the ostium of the left atrial appendage by permanently engaging a portion of the interior wall of the left atrial appendage. The support structure may be radially expandable from a first configuration to a second configuration which engages the ostium or the interior wall of the left atrial appendage. The filtering membrane may define an opening therethrough that is configured to expand from a first size which inhibits the passage of thrombus therethrough to a second size which allows an interventional device, e.g., an expansion balloon, to pass therethrough, and wherein the opening is resiliently biased towards the first size. | 06-12-2014 |
