    摘要: A stent and catheter for implanting or removing a helical-shaped stent within a body passageway; the catheter having an elongate sheath with a socket for securing one end of the stent at a distal region of the sheath and an inner member extending from the sheath, and also having a socket at a distal region of the inner member for securing the other end of the stent. The inner member is rotatable relative to the sheath to transmit torque to the stent to permit unwinding of the helical stent at its limiting strain to expand the stent. Also discussed are methods for performing procedures for implanting or removing a helical stent from a body passageway.

    摘要: An expansible tunneling apparatus and associated methods for creating an anatomic working space for a surgical procedure. Various embodiments of one and two piece apparatus that permit laparoscopic observation both during tunneling and during subsequent balloon dissection are disclosed. In a disclosed one piece embodiment, a tubular member has a bore extending therethrough and an open distal end. A lip is formed in the distal end of the tubular member to capture the distal tip of a laparoscope that is inserted into the tubular member to permit observation of the procedure both during tunneling to a desired location and during subsequent balloon inflation. An elongated neck of the balloon is secured to the tunneling member. The elongated neck permits the tubular member to be withdrawn slightly from the balloon after inflation to facilitate observation. After the balloon has been advanced to the desired location in the body it is inflated through a balloon inflation lumen to cause the balloon to dissect tissue and create an operating space. Various balloon constructions and a reusable design are also disclosed.

    摘要: Apparatus for applying fasteners during endoscopic surgery includes a handle portion, a triggering mechanism and a fastener application. The fastener applicator is detachable from the handle portion by virtue of a rotational locking system and may be replaced with a new fastener applicator having a fresh load of vertically stacked fasteners. The fastener may be formed around a single point on an anvil. The fastener applicator having only one actuated part in its applicator mechanism, and makes use of biased springs controlled by the position of the actuated part for the remaining part of the mechanism. Another embodiment of the invention deploys a plunger/ratchet assembly and pawl within the handle portion of the apparatus to ensure that the apparatus applicator mechanism will not reverse in the middle of a triggered application stroke. A method of applying a fastener includes the following steps: moving a fastener from a storage channel, where it has been vertically stacked, to a driving channel by a biased fastener positioning spring as a slide is retracted; advancing the slide until the slide engages the fastener in the driving channel and drives the fastener over an anvil to form the fastener. During advancement of the slide a biased stop spring is forced back into a recess thereby allowing the next fastener to move forward in the storage channel in response to the force of a biased pusher spring; retracting the slide thereby freeing the biased ejector springs to kick the formed fastener off the end of the anvil; and further retracting the slide until the fastener positioning spring is once again free to move the distal-most fastener from the storage channel into the driving channel.
