    摘要: An intraocular lens is adapted for insertion into a capsular bag having a zonular contact region. The intraocular lens comprises a shape changing optical element and an accommodating element comprising at least one force transmitting element and a plurality of spaced apart contacting elements each adapted to contact a portion of the zonular contact region and transmit compressive displacement radially inward at an oblique angle to the optical element and configured to cooperate with at least one of the ciliary muscle of the mammalian eye, the zonules of the mammalian eye and the vitreous pressure in the eye to effect an accommodating shape and a disaccommodating shape change to the optical element.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for treatment of heart arrhythmia via renal neuromodulation. Such neuromodulation may effectuate irreversible electroporation or electrofusion, ablation, necrosis and/or inducement of apoptosis, alteration of gene expression, action potential attenuation or blockade, changes in cytokine up-regulation and other conditions in target neural fibers. In some embodiments, such neuromodulation is achieved through application of an electric field. In some embodiments, such neuromodulation is achieved through application of neuromodulatory agents, of thermal energy and/or of high intensity focused ultrasound. In some embodiments, such neuromodulation is performed in a bilateral fashion.

    摘要: Flexible clips which are transported over a solid needle or through a hollow needle and methods of use thereof are described for tissue approximation and attachment and for joining a graft vessel to a target vessel. The tissue approximation or anastomosis clip includes a highly flexible or elastic material wrapped around and transported on the outside of a solid needle. Another embodiment is a flexible or composite clip which is transported within a hollow needle. The distal end of the clips has a tapered configuration to minimize resistance and facilitate tissue penetration. After placement of the clip in the desired location, the solid or hollow needle is withdrawn resulting in coiling or contraction of the clip thus approximating the tissue and securing the clip. Multiple clips can be loaded in the deployment device which is calibrated to deploy and secure one clip at a time. An additional embodiment is a needle point attached to a clip that overrides a solid shaft. Deployment is by pushing or displacing the clip portion from the shaft. A plurality of these needle-clips may be oriented on a circular ring which permits rapid clip deployment and tissue approximation, such as for anastomosis, and methods for subsequent ring removal or dismantling.
