    摘要: A method and apparatus for a radially expandable stent for implantation within a body vessel, comprising a first and second wire having a series of alternating peaks and valleys. The valleys of the first wire are braided with the peaks of the second wire forming a braided region with the interwoven first and second wire being wound into a continuous helix having a hollow cylindrical shape. The peaks of the first wire of the continuous helix may be welded to the adjacent valleys of the second wire of the continuous helix. The peaks and valleys of the first wire may symmetrically intersect with the peaks and valleys of the second wire to form a uniform series of crossings thereby permitting even expansion of the first and second wires. The proximal end of the first wire may be attached to the proximal end of the second wire. The distal end of the first wire may be attached to the distal end of the second wire. A means within the interwoven first and second wires of the continuous helix may be included for expansion thereof.

    摘要: An embolic filtering system includes a guide wire, a filter device disposed on the guide wire, a sheath adapted to maintain the filter device in an unexpanded position and a torque device having a lumen for receiving the guide wire and a locking mechanism for locking the torque device to the guide wire. The torque device may include a side port adapted to receive the proximal end of the sheath to allow a portion of the guide wire to shear the sheath from the guide wire through retraction of the sheath through the side port. The torque device may include an extension arm having a distal opening adapted to receive both the guide wire and the sheath. A second lumen may be used to allow a portion of the guide wire to shear the sheath away from the guide wire through retraction of the sheath through the second lumen.

    摘要: A novel polypeptide, osteoprotegerin binding protein, involved in osteolcast maturation has been identified based upon its affinity for osteoprotegerin. Nucleic acid sequences encoding the polypeptide, or a fragment, analog or derivative thereof, vectors and host cells for production, methods of preparing osteoprotegerin binding protein, and binding assays are also described. Compositions and methods for the treatment of bone diseases such as osteoporosis, bone loss due to arthritis or metastasis, hypercalcemia, and Paget's disease are also provided.

    摘要: This invention is directed to a diagnostic sheath device which is adapted to facilitate atraumatic navigation of intravascular catheters along vascular pathways. The sheath consists of an elongated flexible shaft, having a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end of the shaft is hemispherically-shaped or elongated. A guide wire lumen extends through the shaft, from the proximal end to the distal end, for receiving a guide wire. At least one dye-injection lumen extends through the elongated shaft from the proximal end and joins the guide wire lumen at a point near the distal end of the shaft to provide fluid communication between the injection lumen and the guide wire lumen. The shaft is slidably inserted through the hollow interior of a guide catheter so that the hemispherically-shaped or elongated distal end of the shaft extends beyond the distal end of the guide catheter. Thus, the hemispherically-shaped or elongated distal end cooperates with the guide catheter body to provide a smooth rounded catheter tip which, when advanced along the patient's vasculature, reduces the risk of causing trauma to the blood vessel, freeing plaque from the vessel wall, or creating embolisms in the bloodstream.

    摘要翻译: 本发明涉及一种诊断护套装置,其适于促进沿着血管通路的血管内导管的无损伤导航。 护套由细长的柔性轴组成,具有近端和远端。 轴的远端是半球形或细长的。 导丝腔从基端延伸到远端,用于接收导丝。 至少一个染料注射腔从近端延伸穿过细长轴并且在靠近轴的远端的点处连接导丝管腔,以在注射腔和导丝管腔之间提供流体连通。 轴可滑动地插入穿过引导导管的中空内部,使得轴的半球形或细长的远端延伸超过引导导管的远端。 因此,半球形或细长的远端与引导导管主体配合以提供平滑的圆形导管末端,当沿着患者的脉管系统前进时,导管尖端减小了对血管造成创伤的风险,从血管壁释放斑块, 或在血液中产生栓塞。
