20100113969 | CATHETER HAVING AN AUXILIARY LUMEN FOR USE WITH A FUNCTIONAL MEASUREMENT WIRE - The present invention relates to a surgical catheter, and more particularly, a balloon catheter having an auxiliary lumen configured to permit the advancement of a functional measurement wire to a treatment site. The auxiliary lumen communicates with a working lumen that is configured to permit the advancement of a guidewire and the functional measurement wire, so that the guidewire and functional measurement wire may selectively be advanced to the treatment site during a surgical procedure. | 05-06-2010 |
20100305603 | Shape-Changing Medical Device, Kit, Method Of Production, And Method Of Use - The present disclosure relates to treatment of disorders in the heart rhythm regulation system and, more particularly, to a medical device for tissue cutting and/or migrating wherein the cutting and/or migrating is at least partly actuated by the swelling of a swellable material. The disclosure furthermore relates to a method of producing such a medical device, a kit of such medical devices, and a method for treating such disorders. | 12-02-2010 |
20120027872 | APPARATUS FOR SEALING A PUNCTURE BY CAUSING A REDUCTION IN THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE PUNCTURE - Apparatus is provided for sealing a vascular puncture by causing a reduction in the circumference of the puncture tract through delivery of a closure agent into tissue surrounding the puncture tract. A resultant inflammatory response and volumetric increase cause the tissue to swell into the puncture tract, thereby sealing it. | 02-02-2012 |
20120143089 | CATHETER HAVING AN AUXILIARY LUMEN FOR USE WITH A FUNCTIONAL MEASUREMENT WIRE - The present invention relates to a surgical catheter, and more particularly, a balloon catheter having an auxiliary lumen configured to permit the advancement of a functional measurement wire to a treatment site. The auxiliary lumen communicates with a working lumen that is configured to permit the advancement of a guidewire and the functional measurement wire, so that the guidewire and functional measurement wire may selectively be advanced to the treatment site during a surgical procedure. | 06-07-2012 |
20130158645 | Support Structure For An Endoprothesis, An Endoprotheses And Associated Methods - The disclosure is related to an endoprothesis, such as a stent. The disclosure also relates to a support structure for an endoprothesis and methods of delivering such an endoprothesis as well as a method of manufacturing a support structure. Furthermore, the disclosure provides an improved positioning of an endoprothesis and overcomes the folding issues and thus improves the flow through a body vessel. One embodiment provides a tubular support structure for avoiding folding of an endoprothesis, such as a stent or a valve, comprising one or more first circumferential zigzag patterns, at least two second circumferential zigzag patterns and wherein the first and second circumferential zigzag patterns are overlapping. | 06-20-2013 |
20140343590 | Device, And A Method For Treatment Of Increased Blood Pressure - Methods and devices are presented which act by cutting the renal nerves slowly through. The minimally invasive implantable devices can be delivered through state of the art delivery catheters into the renal arteries as known from stenting, and do not require external generators, thereby being easily to introduce in normal equipped radiology catheter labs. | 11-20-2014 |
