    摘要: Apparatus (10) for locating an ostium of a branch vessel includes a delivery- catheter (12) having a distal end (16) sized for introduction into the branch, and locator elements (50) including first ends (52) fixed to the distal end (16) and second ends (54) free from the distal end (16). The locator elements (50) are compressible from a transverse, deployed condition to an axial, contracted condition, wherein the second ends (54) are disposed proximal to the first ends (52). The catheter (12) may be used to deliver a stent (40) into the branch with the expanded locator element (50) facilitating positioning the stent (40).

    摘要: Apparatus (20) is provided for use in filtering emboli from a vessel (17) such as the ascending aorta, wherein a vascular device comprises a support hoop (24) having an articulation region (26) connected near a distal end (23) of an elongated member, a blood permeable sac (28) affixed to the support hoop so that the support hoop forms a mouth of the blood permeable sac, a guide wire (22), and a delivery sheath. The articulation region comprises a reduced thickness region of the support hoop that prevents kinks from forming in the support hoop when the apparatus is contracted to its delivery state, and curved regions that close the mouth of the sac to prevent material escaping from the sac when the apparatus is collapsed for removal.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods for aspirating emboli from a vascular filter (30) or stent within a patient's circulatory system are provided. A filter sac (33) of the vascular filter permits blood flow and captures emboli from the flow. The aspiration device removes emboli from within or proximal to the vascular filter or stent to reduce the risk to the ischemia during retrieval of the vascular filter and during a treatment procedure. Two families of aspiration devices are provided: a single catheter type and telescoping dual catheter type. The single catheter type uses one catheter both to aspirate emboli and retrieve a vascular filter. The telescoping dual catheter type device uses two catheters, with one catheter disposed inside the other, so that the inner catheter is used to aspirate emboli from a vascular filter and the outer catheter being used to retrieve the vascular filter. Aspiration through the catheters may be accomplished using a syringe coupled to the catheter via a hemostatic valve.
