    摘要: A sizing catheter and method of measuring a preselected internal opening within a patient to provide a rapid and precise determination of a stretched diameter of the preselected internal opening. The sizing catheter includes a dilation balloon constructed of a thin expandable plastic which is inflatable and is utilized to determine a size of the preselected opening. The dilation balloon is inflated to an inflation threshold, wherein the dilation balloon deforms about the preselected opening and the size of the dilation balloon adjacent the preselected opening approximates a stretched diameter of the preselected opening. The sizing catheter and method may be utilized to determine an appropriate sized occluding device to thereby occlude the preselected opening.

    摘要: Method for rendering a preformed article lubricious and antithrombogenic and a device being the same. On the surface of the article a thin coating of a biologically compatible, lubricious, hydrophilic polymer including acid groups, is provided. On the coating, ammonium cation, and heparin are applied in the manner that heparin is bound by electrostatic attraction to the ammonium cation of the coating to permit time release of heparin. A buffer solution may be applied in a manner to act to enhance the lubriciousness of the coating.

    摘要: A stent graft for reinforcement of a vascular abnormalities and an associated method are provided. According to one embodiment, the stent graft includes a flexible tubular structure comprising a proximal end and a distal end and having an expanded heat set configuration. The tubular structure is configured to be constrained to a smaller diameter than the expanded heat set configuration, and the tubular structure is heat set such that at least a portion of the proximal and/or distal ends is configured to fold over on itself when unconstrained.

    摘要: A method for delivering an object within a patient, wherein the object is delivered in a preferred orientation relative to the delivery site of the patient. The delivery device has an alignment member that allows the object to be delivered intravascularly to the delivery site of the patient, wherein the object is delivered in a pre-determined orientation. The object may, for example, be non-symmetric or include a configuration that requires delivery to the site in only one suitable orientation relative to the delivery site. Such objects may be used, for example, to treat certain defects or injuries in vessels or organs within a patient's body.

    摘要: An x-ray apparatus uses an x-ray tube which is pivoted about a pivot axis to provide scanning of an x-ray beam. The pivot axis passes essentially through the center of the focal spot on the target surface of the anode of the tube, is essentially perpendicular to the anode-cathode axis, and is essentially parallel to a film plane defined by the x-ray film. The scanning of the x-ray beam by pivoting the x-ray tube results in improved systems for standard radiography, linear tomography, and large-scale angiography. In standard radiography and large scale angiography systems, moving primary and secondary slots synchronized with the pivoting of the x-ray tube provide efficient removal of secondary radiation. In linear tomography systems, the object and film are moved synchronously with the pivoting of the x-ray tube, and primary and secondary slots which are stationary remove secondary radiation.
