| 20080221660 | Platelet Gel for Treatment of Aneurysms - Methods for ameliorating stent graft migration and endoleak using treatment site-specific platelet gel compositions in combination with stent grafts are disclosed. Also disclosed are platelet gel compositions directly to treatment sites before, during or after stent graft implantation. Additional embodiments include medical devices having platelet gel coatings and/or platelet gel delivery devices useful for treating aneurysms. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080249511 | In Situ Blood Vessel and Aneurysm Treatment - Treatment of aneurysmal blood vessels with local delivery of therapeutic agents thereby reduces or lessens the severity of an aneurysm, and, where used in conjunction with the placement of an excluding device, provides for more rapid recovery of the blood vessel from any disturbance occurring during placement of the excluding device. Therapeutic agents are placed in the aneurysmal site in a time-release carrier medium, such that the therapeutic agent is released into the aneurysmal site over a period of time without the need to provide systemic introduction of the therapeutic agent. The carrier may be introduced through the patient's dermis, such as with the use of a laparoscope, or intravascularly, through the use of a catheter. The carrier may be in a solid matrix, viscous liquid or liquid form. | 10-09-2008 |
| 20080262595 | Methods and Apparatus for Treatment of Aneurysms Adjacent to Branch Arteries - A stent graft includes at least one aperture extending through the main body thereof, into which an extension portion may be deployed for positioning within an adjacent branch flow lumen. The extension portions include self biasing features, wherein the extension is biased into engagement with the main body to seal the interface thereof. Additionally, the extension portion may be configured for tortuous or deviated anatomy, to enable sealing of the extension portion with the body while extending the extension portion in a substantially non-radial direction from the main body. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20090125096 | Stent Graft With Pins - A stent graft with pins, a stent graft including a tubular graft having a perimeter and a central axis; at least one stent ring operably connected about the perimeter, the stent ring having a plurality of struts connected in a sinusoidal pattern, at least one of the plurality of struts having a hole; and a pin having a free end. The pin is secured in the hole with the free end directed outwardly from the central axis. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090259290 | Fenestration Segment Stent-Graft and Fenestration Method - A method includes deploying a fenestration segment stent-graft into a main vessel such that a fenestration section of the fenestration segment stent-graft covers a first branch vessel emanating from the main vessel. The fenestration segment stent-graft includes a proximal section, a distal section, and the fenestration section attached to and between the proximal section and the distal section. The fenestration section has a greater resistance to tearing than the proximal section and the distal section facilitating formation of a collateral opening aligned with the branch vessel in the fenestration section. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20100217306 | METHODS FOR VENOUS OCCLUSION FOR THE TREATMENT OF VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY - Methods, devices and systems are described for treating venous insufficiency in which the vein is compressed at least partially along a treatment zone. A system can be provided including an injection device, such as a glue gun, that is operably connected to a delivery catheter that can be advanced across a treatment zone in the vein. The delivery catheter can be used to deliver one, two, or more boluses of media (e.g., cyanoacrylate) to occlude the vein along different spaced-apart sections of the treatment zone. External compression can also be applied to the vein by a compression element, such as a hand or multifunctional ultrasound transducer, to occlude portions of the vein along the treatment zone prior to or during the introduction of the boluses of media. | 08-26-2010 |
