    摘要: Methods and apparatus employed to locate body vessels and occlusions in body vessels finding particular utility in cardiac surgery, particularly minimally invasive cardiac surgery to locate cardiac arteries and occlusions in cardiac arteries are disclosed. An elongated vessel lumen probe incorporating a lumen probe element at or near the elongated vessel lumen probe distal end is advanced into the vessel lumen. A vessel surface probe manipulated by the surgeon and having a surface probe element sensor is employed to detect the lumen probe element and to follow the progress of the vessel lumen probe element as it approaches and is advanced through or is blocked by an occlusion. In the location of a coronary artery, the surface probe element sensor is moved about against the epicardium over the suspected location of the artery of interest until a surface probe element sensor of the present invention at the surface probe distal end interacts with the lumen probe element of the vessel lumen probe.

    摘要: A system, method and apparatus for regulating vacuum applied to surgical suction devices allowing the use of a single vacuum regulator and associated canister to provide vacuum to two suction devices, such as a suction stabilizer and a suction retractor. Vacuum controllers may be placed in the vacuum lines provided to each of two or more suction devices, or may be placed only in the vacuum line of the suction device believed most likely to detach during the procedure. Each vacuum controller is provided with a primary vacuum line, coupling its associated suction device to the output of the vacuum regulator and a pilot passage, also coupling the suction device to the vacuum regulator. The controller closes a valve in the main vacuum line in response to loss of vacuum attachment, which valve remains closed until attachment is reestablished. Closure of the valve results in substantial or complete blockage of the main vacuum line. The pilot passage, which may be part of the valve or a separate vacuum line, serves to allow reestablishment of vacuum attachment while the valve is closed. The pilot passage is configured so that airflow through the pilot passage is low enough that the other suction device or devices coupled to the vacuum regulator can still maintain vacuum attachment.

    摘要: An implantable stimulation device comprises one or more electrodes, a receiving antenna coil, a transmitting antenna coil and a control circuit. The receiving antenna coil is in a first layer, the transmitting antenna coil is in a second layer and the control circuit is in a third layer between the first and second layers. The control circuit is configured to receive signals using the receiving antenna coil, transmit signals using the transmitting antenna coil, and deliver stimulation signals to the one or more electrodes. The receiving antenna coil, the transmitting antenna coil and the control circuit are contained in a hermetically sealed container.
