20140276718 | Direct Heat Ablation Catheter - Catheter apparatuses, systems, and methods for achieving renal neuromodulation by intravascular access are disclosed herein. One aspect of the present technology, for example, is directed to a treatment device including a therapeutic assembly having a central axis and a distal portion and a proximal portion axially spaced along the central axis, the therapeutic assembly including a core element extending from the proximal portion to the distal portion and a heating element disposed along at least a portion of a length of the core element. An energy source provides electrical current to the heating element to cause the heating element to increase in temperature. | 09-18-2014 |
20140277382 | Method for Manufacturing a Stent and Stent Manufactured Thereby - A method for manufacturing a stent includes forming a stent blank from a first material, the stent blank comprising a plurality of struts and a plurality of crowns, each crown connecting at least two struts, and a plurality of slots in at least some of the plurality of struts and/or the plurality of crowns, depositing a second material over outer surfaces of the struts and the crowns and in the slots to encase the stent blank in the second material, creating at least one opening through the second material, and removing the first material to form a stent comprising the second material, the stent having a continuous lumen from one end of the stent to the other end of the stent, the continuous lumen being partitioned in portions corresponding to the locations of the slots in the stent blank. The lumen may then be filled with a therapeutic substance. | 09-18-2014 |
20140277396 | Bioabsorbable Stent With Hydrothermal Conversion Film and Coating - A stent includes a bioabsorbable metal, a hydrothermal conversion film covering the bioabsorbable metal, and a coating covering the hydrothermal conversion film. A method for manufacturing a stent includes forming a stent body comprising a bioabsorbable metal, forming a hydrothermal conversion film over surfaces of the stent body, and coating the hydrothermal conversion film with an overcoat. | 09-18-2014 |
