    摘要: An apparatus for repairing the function of a diseased valve includes an annular first support member expandable to a first diameter. An annular second support member is spaced axially apart from the first support member and is expandable to a second diameter that is independent of the first diameter. A tubular graft section interconnects the first and second support members. The graft section defines an annulus having a third diameter that is independent of each of the first and second diameters. A prosthetic valve is secured within the annulus of the graft section. The bioprosthetic valve has at least two valve leaflets that are coaptable to permit the unidirectional flow of blood. Methods for repairing the function of a diseased valve and for making the apparatus are also provided.

    摘要: An endoluminal prosthesis comprises a prosthetic trunk comprising a trunk lumen extending therethrough, a wall, an anastomosis in the wall, and a first fenestration in the wall, wherein the prosthetic trunk has a circumference. The endoluminal prosthesis further comprises a prosthetic branch comprising a branch lumen extending therethrough. The branch lumen is in fluid communication with the trunk lumen through the anastomosis. The prosthetic branch is disposed longitudinally along and circumferentially about the prosthetic trunk.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for endovascular removal of a cardiac valve having at least two valve cusps is disclosed. The apparatus is insertable through a blood vessel to access the cardiac valve. The apparatus includes a first catheter assembly for insertion into a blood vessel, deployable cutting means for cutting at least one valve cusp of the cardiac valve, and a deployable filter assembly disposed adjacent the distal end of the first catheter assembly. The first catheter assembly has a longitudinal axis and a distal end. The cutting means is attached to the distal end of the first catheter assembly. The filter assembly is operable to collect the severed valve cusps and is collapsible for removal from the blood vessel with the severed valve cusps retained therein.

    摘要: An apparatus for insertion into a blood vessel and for modulating the baroreflex system of a mammal includes an expandable support member for engaging a wall of a blood vessel at a desired location where baroreceptors are located, and at least one electrode connected with the expandable support member. The at least one electrode is arranged to selectively deliver electric current to modulate the baroreceptors. The apparatus further includes an insulative material attached to at least a portion of the expandable support member for isolating blood flowing through the vessel from the electric current delivered by the at least one electrode.

    摘要: A modular endoluminal prosthesis includes a first prosthetic module (40) having an opening at one end (41) and an internal surface (46), and a second prosthetic module (50) having an opening at one end (43) and an external surface (48). The first and second modules (40, 50) are connected by inserting the one end (43) of the second module (50) into the one end (41) of the first module (40). Either the internal surface (46) or the external surface (48) comprises at least one projection (42 or 44) and the other of the internal surface or the external surface comprises at least one surface feature (42 or 44) which engages the at least one projection (42 or 44) when the modules (40, 50) are connected.
