20090171437LOW PROFILE NON-SYMMETRICAL STENT - A stent for use in a medical procedure having opposing sets of curved apices, where the curved section of one set of apices has a radius of curvature that is greater than the curved section of the other set of apices. One or more such stents may be attached to a graft material for use in endovascular treatment of, for example, aneurysm, thoracic dissection, or other body vessel condition.07-02-2009
20110118821LOW PROFILE NON-SYMMETRICAL STENT - Various stents and stent-graft systems for treatment of medical conditions are disclosed. In one embodiment, an exemplary stent-graft system may be used for endovascular treatment of a thoracic aortic aneurysm. The stent-graft system may comprise proximal and distal components, each comprising a graft having proximal and distal ends, where upon deployment the proximal and distal components at least partially overlap with one another to provide a fluid passageway therebetween. The proximal component may comprise a proximal stent having a plurality of proximal and distal apices connected by a plurality of generally straight portions, where a radius of curvature of at least one of the proximal apices may be greater than the radius of curvature of at least one of the distal apices. The distal component may comprise a proximal z-stent coupled to the graft, where the proximal end of the graft comprises at least scallop formed therein that generally follows the shape of the proximal z-stent. Further, the distal component may comprise at least one z-stent stent coupled to the distal end of the graft and extending distally therefrom that reduces proximal migration of the distal component.05-19-2011
20120041535PRECANNULATED FENESTRATION - Devices for delivering and deploying an endoluminal prosthesis are disclosed and comprise a delivery catheter, an endoluminal prosthesis disposed at a distal end portion of the delivery catheter, and a wire. The prosthesis comprises a tubular graft having at least one fenestration. The wire extends distally from a first wire end through an axial lumen of the delivery catheter and the prosthesis, and through the fenestration in the graft. The wire extends proximally through a lumen of the prosthesis and through an axial lumen of the delivery catheter towards a second wire end. Additional devices, systems, and methods are disclosed.02-16-2012
20120046728PROSTHESIS HAVING PIVOTING FENESTRATION - The present disclosure relates to an endoluminal prosthesis, such as a stent graft that includes one or more fenestrations to accommodate endovascular disease, such as an aneurysm in cases where one or more side branches is involved. In one aspect, the prosthesis includes fenestrations that are pivotable to accommodate the dynamic geometry of the aortic branches.02-23-2012
20120168022WOVEN FABRIC HAVING COMPOSITE YARNS FOR ENDOLUMINAL DEVICES - A woven fabric for a low profile implantable medical device includes a plurality of textile strands of a composite yarn aligned in a first direction interlaced with a plurality of textile strands of the composite yarn aligned in a second direction. The composite yarn includes a combination of a first material and a second material. The textile strands have a size between about 10 denier to about 20 denier. The first material has at least one characteristic different from the second material and the second material reacts favorably with blood when placed within an artery.07-05-2012

20120179237SPRAY SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MAKING PHASE SEPARATED POLYMER MEMBRANE STRUCTURES - A spray system and method of using such spray system to fabricate a polymer membrane structure for use as a vascular graft or tissue engineered scaffold is provided. Generally, this spray system includes the use of at least two spray apparatus to apply different polymer and solvent mixtures to the outer surface of a mandrel to form a blended layer. Upon curing of the blended layer, phase separation occurs leading to the formation of a polymer membrane structure having variable properties along at least a portion of its longitudinal axis.07-12-2012

20100241357Single-Cell Raman Spectroscopy for the Non-Destructive, Non-Invasive Analysis of Cells and Cellular Components - Raman spectra of cells, such as normal human T- and B-cells from peripheral blood or human tonsil and the corresponding transformed cells are obtained by optically trapping the cells and obtaining their Raman spectra. The trapped cells can be subjected to one, two, or more different excitation wavelengths, and each wavelength of the corresponding Raman spectra can be stored in a separate channel. In preferred embodiments, two spectra are subtracted from each other to give a difference spectrum and each channel is analyzed independently to characterize the trapped cell. Alternatively, the Raman spectrum can be subjected to Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in order to characterize the trapped cell. The trapped cell thus classified can be sorted, or further manipulated.09-23-2010

20080239307Sequencing single molecules using surface-enhanced Raman scattering - A surface-enhanced Raman scattering method and apparatus to sequence polymeric biomolecules such as DNA, RNA, or proteins is introduced. The method uses metallic nanostructures such as, for example, spherical or cylindrical Au or Ag nanoparticles having characteristic lengths of 10-100 nm which when illuminated with light of the appropriate wavelength produce resonant oscillations of the conduction electrons (plasmon resonance). Electric field enhancements of 30-1000 near the particle surface resulting from such oscillations increase Raman scattering cross-sections by about 1010-02-2008
