    Abstract: A cell encapsulation device for implantation in a body includes one or more cell encapsulation layers, each of the one or more cell encapsulation layers including at least one membrane and a guide tube. The at least one membrane is semipermeable. The least one membrane forms a chamber for encapsulating cells and at least one access port through the at least one membrane. The guide tube extends into the chamber from the at least one access port. The guide tube includes a porous wall along at least a portion of its length. The guide tube is capable of guiding movement of a catheter within the chamber.

    Abstract: A vascular closure system for sealing an opening in a blood vessel may include an introducer sheath extending through the opening, the introducer sheath having a lumen extending through the introducer sheath, wherein partial withdrawal of the introducer sheath from the opening everts tissue of the blood vessel at the opening, and a shaping sheath slidably disposed over the introducer sheath, the shaping sheath having a split distal portion configured to engage the everted tissue.

    Abstract: A medical device assembly may include an elongated guidewire, an elongated flexible tubular membrane disposed about the guidewire, and a percutaneous medical device, wherein the membrane is configured to permit the percutaneous medical device to pass through the lumen. A method of advancing a medical device through a vessel may include advancing an elongated flexible tubular membrane through the vessel to a treatment site, inserting the medical device into the membrane, and advancing the medical device through the membrane while maintaining the membrane in an axially stationary position relative to the vessel.

    Abstract: A system for transluminal delivery of cardiac repair components into a heart includes a visualization catheter having an imaging device disposed at a distal end. An anchor lumen extends through the visualization catheter to an anchor port disposed on its distal wall. An adjustment mechanism is translatably disposed within the visualization catheter and configured to adjust a height of the anchor port relative to a septum of the heart. The imaging device may be used to visualize the placement of anchors expelled from the port into a tissue target. The adjustment mechanism enables accurate placement of multiple anchors along a consistent axis within the heart by rotating the visualization catheter to align the port with different tissue targets. The anchors may be coupled to sutures and the tissue targets may include papillary muscles that are reconfigured by pulling together and securing the sutures to approximate a healthy papillary structure.
