Abstract: A medical device for reducing the volume of a left atrial appendage (LAA) may include an elongate shaft having a distal portion, and a volume-reducing means expandable from a collapsed to an expanded state, the volume-reducing means being releasably attached to the distal portion. The volume-reducing means may include an actuatable frame and an impermeable covering disposed over the frame. The volume-reducing means may be sized to fit within the LAA in the expanded state while maintaining an open fluid flow path from a distal region through the ostium of the LAA. A medical device may include a second volume-reducing means to be placed within and substantially occlude a distalmost region of the LAA. A method may include inserting a volume-reducing means into the LAA, expanding the volume-reducing means, and positioning the volume-reducing means such that an open fluid flow path is maintained through an entire cycle of the heart.

Abstract: A medical device may include an elongate shaft having a distal end portion and a balloon disposed at least partially within the distal end portion. The distal end portion may be configured to selectively expand from a collapsed delivery configuration to a distally-opening expanded filtering configuration. A method of deploying a medical device may include obtaining an elongate shaft having a distal end portion and a balloon disposed at least partially within the distal end portion, advancing the elongate shaft through a vessel to a treatment site, disposing at least a portion of the balloon within the treatment site with the distal end of the elongate shaft positioned adjacent the treatment site, at least partially inflating the balloon, thereby expanding the distal end portion, and deflating the balloon and subsequently performing a procedure with the distal end of the elongate shaft positioned within the vessel adjacent to the treatment site.
