    摘要: The present invention is an injection port assembly for subcutaneous delivery of medication. A single molded body has a soft cannula extending downward from a generally flat bottom surface and a self-sealing septum mounted at the center of a top surface which is generally of a concave shape sloping downward towards its outer perimeter at which point the single body is very thin. The single body also has a tubular extension which is directed outward parallel to the skin's surface. A metal needle which penetrates through the septum and through the lumen of the soft cannula is used for inserting the cannula through the skin. Once the soft cannula is placed subcutaneously, the needle is removed and an adhesive tape is placed over the single body and onto the skin beyond the body's outer perimeter. By having a distal section of the needle which is smaller in diameter as compared to most of the needle's length, and by having the soft cannula fit tightly onto the needle, most of the cannula's length will be in tension during insertion thereby preventing an accordion-like compressional failure of the cannula. A quick-release connector on the proximal end of the tubular extension or mounted directly on the injection port assembly allows the tubing connecting the injection port assembly to a portable medication pump to be disconnected when the patient showers or performs some similar activity.

    摘要: A thin-walled guide wire tube is fixedly and sealably attached to both a proximal section and a distal section of a balloon angioplasty catheter. A stent is co-axially mounted onto the inflatable balloon of the balloon angioplasty catheter. Because the guide wire tube forms an inner liner for the balloon angioplasty catheter, the fluid inflation lumen of the catheter is sealed so the inflation liquid that pressurizes the balloon will not leak as it would be if there were no “inner liner” and the balloon angioplasty catheter were attached to the guide wire itself. By not having a traditional inner shaft through which a conventional guide wire slides, the deflated balloon on which the stent is mounted can have a reduced diameter.

    摘要: Disclosed is a system for the detection of cardiac events (a guardian system) that includes an implanted device called a cardiosaver, a physician's programmer and an external alarm system. The system is designed to provide early detection of cardiac events such as acute myocardial infarction or exercise induced myocardial ischemia caused by an increased heart rate or exertion. The system can also alert the patient with a less urgent alarm if a heart arrhythmia is detected. Using one or more detection algorithms, the cardiosaver can detect a change in the patient's electrogram that is indicative of a cardiac event within five minutes after it occurs and then automatically warn the patient that the event is occurring. To provide this warning, the guardian system includes an internal alarm sub-system (internal alarm means) within the cardiosaver and/or an external alarm system (external alarm means). If the guardian system is put into a pacemaker, the algorithm can utilize a different analysis of the electrogram depending on whether or not the pacemaker is actually pacing the heart.

    摘要: A hybrid stent that is defined as having a central section that is balloon expandable and end sections that are self-expanding. The entire stent is mounted on a balloon of a balloon angioplasty catheter. One way to retain the self-expanding portion of the stent onto a balloon onto which it has been nested is to place a cylindrical elastomer tube around each of the self-expanding end sections of the stent. Another way to retain the hybrid stent onto a stent delivery system is to use a conventional sheath that is pulled back to initiate stent deployment

    摘要: The present invention is a stent delivery system that uses a short section of a guide wire that is fixedly attached to a distal section of a balloon angioplasty catheter. By not having a guide wire that slides through the balloon of the balloon angioplasty catheter, the balloon on which the stent is mounted can have a reduced diameter. Therefore, the outside diameter of the undeployed stent mounted onto that balloon is also minimized. This provides a minimum profile, i.e., a minimum outside diameter, for the stent. A minimum profile at the distal section of the stent delivery system is highly advantageous for improving the percentage of cases that can be treated by means of direct stenting; i.e., without requiring pre-dilation of a stenosis.

    摘要: An expandable stent for delivery to a coronary artery. The stent has at least two longitudinally spaced apart circumferential rings having closed ends. Each of the circumferential rings has at least two peak segments and at least two valley segments. At least one longitudinally extending connector extends between adjacent circumferential rings. The connector has a first end portion fixedly connected to a first circumferential ring and a second end portion fixedly connected to an adjacent circumferential ring. The connector has at least one circumferentially extending turn back portion between its first and second end portions that can expand or contract in length while being passed through a curved coronary artery.

    摘要: The present invention provides for an expandable stent (10 or 20) for use in an artery or other vessel of a human body. The stent structure (10 or 20) maintains the patency of the vessel within which the stent (10 or 20) is expanded radially outward. One embodiment of the present invention is a stent (10) having a multiplicity of frames (12) joined together by at least two undulating longitudinal structures (14L and 14R) which can readily change their length in the longitudinal direction so as to provide increased longitudinal flexibility for the stent (10) for easy passage through and placement within a curved vessel such as a coronary artery. The stent (20) is an embodiment of the present invention having frames (22) joined with longitudinal structures (24B, 24T and 24R) and formed from a single, thin-walled piece of metal by laser cutting or chemical etching. Because the stent (20) is fabricated from a single piece of metal, it provides a multiplicity of closed perimeter cells that are formed as a continuous metal structure.
