    摘要: A removable filter for capturing thrombi in a body vessel is disclosed. The filter comprises a plurality of primary struts comprising proximal and distal portions. Each proximal portion has a first end, wherein the first ends are attached together along a longitudinal axis. Each primary strut extends arcuately along the longitudinal axis and linearly radially. The distal portions of the primary struts are configured to expand in the body vessel, engaging the distal hooks with the body vessel. Each distal portion integrally extends from the proximal portion to a plurality of distal hooks. The distal hooks are substantially equal in size relative to each other.

    摘要: A catheter apparatus (20) and radiation dosimetry unit indicator (21) for delivery of a prescribed radiation dose to a patient. The catheter is filled with a radiation carrier material such as an inert radioactive gas (12) for the treatment of, for example, restenosis after angioplasty, and malignancies. The inflated catheter includes a plurality of discrete chambers such as balloon sections (22, 24, 26) for transporting the radioactive carrier material, and a plurality of discrete chambers (32, 34, 36) enabling substantial blood flow through the artery during treatment with the prescribed radiation. The inflated catheter can also comprise a one unit balloon. A specific metal coating enhances the radiation dose delivered to the target. The wall (25) of the inflation lumen attenuates transmission dose to the blood circulating through the hollow inner lumen of the catheter device. The system also creates increased by-product radiation, from the impact of beta particles and gamma protons travelling toward the lumen wall. A radiation dosimetry unit indicator (21) is positioned, disposed, or affixed to a calibrated catheter to assist the physician in prescribing radiation activity and exposure times.

    摘要: The invention provides, in certain aspects, grafting devices deliverable into the body for repairing defects in bodily structure walls. One such grafting device comprises a compliant sheet-form material, and a removable resilient element that is retained in association with the sheet-form material. In some forms, the resilient element is adapted for delivery in its entirety into the body, and thereafter, can be disassociated from the sheet-form material for removal from the body. The sheet- form material may be formed with one or more of a variety of biocompatible materials including some that are naturally derived and some that are non-naturally derived. Illustratively, the sheet-form material may be comprised of a remodelable, angiogenic material, for example, a remodelable extracellular matrix (ECM) material. In additional embodiments, the invention provides methods and apparatuses for delivering these and other inventive grafting device into the body.
