20080262506 | CATHETER - A retrieval catheter | 10-23-2008 |
20090138037 | STRAIN LIMITING TETHER FOR A CATHETER - A catheter tip and a catheter system are provided. The catheter tip includes a shaft which comprises at least two segments at a distal end portion thereof, wherein the at least two segments define a reception space for receiving a filter element; an expandable tip body; and at least two tethers connecting the segments. The catheter system includes a guide catheter; and a retrieval catheter for insertion into the guide catheter, the retrieval catheter having a catheter tip including a shaft which comprises at least two segments at a distal end portion thereof, wherein the at least two segments define a reception space for receiving a filter element; an expandable tip body; and at least two tethers connecting the segments. | 05-28-2009 |
20090138038 | EMBOLIC FILTER DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - An embolic filter device and method of manufacturing the same are provided. The method includes reducing a wall thickness of a tube in a central region between a proximal end portion and a distal end portion of the tube; cutting the proximal end portion of the tube to form an annular ring at a proximal end of the proximal end portion; cutting a plurality of slits in the central region; and expanding a portion of the tube between the annular ring and the distal end portion. The device includes a distal annular ring; a mesh connected to the distal annular ring; and a proximal annular ring connected to the mesh by at least two connecting portions. | 05-28-2009 |
20110307002 | EMBOLIC PROTECTION SYSTEM - An embolic protection system having a guidewire for advancing through a vasculature; an embolic protection filter having a filter body with a distal end and a proximal end, the filter body providing for a collapsed configuration and an expanded deployed configuration. The embolic protection filter body has a guidewire path for slidably receiving the guidewire to permit movement of the filter relative to the guidewire when the filter | 12-15-2011 |

20140067050 | Trans-Aortic Delivery System With Containment Capsule Centering Device - Heart valve delivery systems and methods of delivering and implanting heart valves using delivery catheters are disclosed. The delivery systems can include a handle assembly which can include a first control mechanism, a second control mechanism, and a decoupling mechanism. The delivery systems can also include a delivery catheter extending from the handle assembly. The delivery catheter can include an outer shaft, which can be controlled by the first control mechanism; a prosthesis containing capsule comprising a proximal capsule portion connected to the outer shaft, and a distal capsule portion releasably coupled to the proximal capsule portion. After deploying a valve prosthesis, the capsule can be closed by activating the decoupling mechanism in the handle to rapidly close the distal and proximal capsule portions together. The delivery system can also include a centering element to guide the distal and proximal capsule portions together. | 03-06-2014 |
20140236123 | Elastic Introducer Sheath - An elastic percutaneous elastic introducer sheath is disclosed which can locally expand and reduce to accommodate a transcatheter medical device. The elastic introducer sheath includes a non-circumferentially continuous elastic frame, a liner, and a jacket. | 08-21-2014 |
20140364939 | Delivery System with Inline Sheath - Systems and methods for delivering and implanting heart valves are disclosed. The delivery systems can include an integrated introducer. The integrated introducer can include a sheath having an inner diameter that is smaller than the outer diameter of a delivery capsule of the delivery system and an outer diameter that is approximately equal to the outer diameter of the delivery capsule. The integrated introducer can include a hub having a hemostatic seal. The hub can have a locking mechanism configured to fix the integrated introducer in place on the delivery system. | 12-11-2014 |
20150112430 | Systems, Devices and Methods for Transcatheter Valve Delivery - A heart valve therapy system including a delivery device and a stented valve. The delivery device includes an outer sheath, an inner shaft, an optional hub assembly, and a plurality of tethers. In a delivery state, a stent frame of the prosthesis is crimped over the inner shaft and maintained in a compressed condition by the outer sheath. The tethers are connected to the stent frame. In a partial deployment state, the outer sheath is at least partially withdrawn, allowing the stent frame to self-expand. Tension in the tethers prevents the stent frame from rapidly expanding and optionally allowing recapture. Upon completion of the stent frame expansion, the tethers are withdrawn. | 04-23-2015 |
