20090306657 | SPLIT FLEXIBLE TUBE BIASING AND DIRECTIONAL ATHERECTOMY DEVICE AND METHOD - The invention provides a rotational atherectomy system, device and method comprising a flexible, elongated, rotatable catheter tube that is split into two elements, a biasing element and a cutting element, distally and wherein the biasing element and cutting element are capable of forming a first and retracted position for insertion into a lumen and a second and expanded position for ablation. The biasing element is biased in the expanded position, thereby placing a biasing force against the lumen wall and pressing the cutting element against the opposite side of the lumen wall for directional cutting and/or grinding, either by rotation, axial translation, vibration or a combination thereof. | 12-10-2009 |
20090306689 | BIDIRECTIONAL EXPANDABLE HEAD FOR ROTATIONAL ATHERECTOMY DEVICE - A rotational atherectomy device that includes an expandable head that can clean a blockage from vessel larger than its rest diameter, in which the drive shaft may rotate in two opposite directions and may have different abrasive characteristics for each rotation direction. In one direction, the head may be configured for cutting and/or slicing, which may be well suited to removing particularly soft blockage material. In the other direction, the head may be configured for grinding, scraping and/or sanding, which may be well suited to removing particularly hard blockage material. The head includes one or more arms that are pivotally or hingedly attached to the drive shaft. One or more abrasive elements are disposed on or are attached to the one or more arms. The abrasive elements have a cutting feature, such as a sharpened edge that cuts like a razor blade when the drive shaft is rotated in the “cutting” direction. The abrasive elements also have a grinding feature, such as an abrasive material disposed on the abrasive element adjacent to the sharpened edge, which grinds away a blockage when the drive shaft is rotated in the “grinding” direction. | 12-10-2009 |
20090306691 | CUTTING AND CORING ATHERECTOMY DEVICE AND METHOD - The invention provides a rotational and/or axially translatable atherectomy system, device and method comprising a flexible, elongated drive shaft or catheter comprising an expandable and collapsible conical coil with a cutting edge on the coil's large diameter proximal end. When retracted, the coil's sections are collapsed around each other, held together in the retracted position by a sheath that, when distally retracted, allows the coil to automatically expand. The coil is expanded at a point distal to the occlusion, then pulled proximally to cut the occluding material near the lumen wall. The proximal pulling force may be combined with low-speed rotation and/or translation and/or axial vibration at low to ultrasonic frequency. | 12-10-2009 |
20100121361 | DIRECTIONAL ROTATIONAL ATHERECTOMY DEVICE WITH OFFSET SPINNING ABRASIVE ELEMENT - The invention provides a rotational atherectomy system, device and method comprising a flexible, elongated, rotatable drive shaft with a pre-curved abrasive section disposed within a catheter that deforms the abrasive section to a substantially straight profile and, when the abrasive section is moved distally out of the catheter, the abrasive section resumes its pre-curved profile. Directional ablation is achieved by rotation of the drive shaft along its pre-curved axis as the abrasive section is urged against a portion of the lumen wall. | 05-13-2010 |
20110144671 | ATHERECTOMY DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD HAVING A BI-DIRECTIONAL DISTAL EXPANDABLE ABLATION ELEMENT - The invention provides a rotational atherectomy system, device and method comprising a bi-directional drive shaft with a flexible ablation element disposed at the distal end of the drive shaft. The flexible ablation element comprises a first retracted position for insertion into vasculature and a second expanded position for ablation, i.e., cutting, sanding and/or grinding. The ablation element comprises more than one flexible finger or blade which allows changing, in certain embodiments, of curvature radius to fit inside a deployment catheter and/or enlarge to the diameter of larger lumens, up to at least 9 mm in diameter. Bi-directional rotation of the expanded ablation element allows cutting in one rotational direction and grinding and/or sanding in the opposite rotational direction. | 06-16-2011 |
20110202079 | THERAPEUTIC AGENT DELIVERY SYSTEM, DEVICE AND METHOD FOR LOCALIZED APPLICATION OF THERAPEUTIC SUBSTANCES TO A BIOLOGICAL CONDUIT - The invention provides a system, device and method for localized application of therapeutic substances within a biological conduit. One embodiment comprises a rotational atherectomy device having a flexible, elongated, rotatable, drive shaft having a lumen and with an eccentric enlarged abrading head having at least one application hole attached therethrough and in communication with a therapeutic agent delivery sheath and an operator-controlled actuator. The therapeutic substances may then spray radially outwardly from the application hole(s) on the eccentric abrading head during and/or after high-speed rotation of the head. Another embodiment comprises compartments in the abrading head that hold therapeutic agent(s) for release during high-speed rotation. In each case, the therapeutic substance(s) is delivered with radial forces resulting from high-speed orbital rotation of the eccentric abrading head, driving the therapeutic substance(s) into the conduit wall. | 08-18-2011 |
