摘要: The invention provides devices, systems and methods for tissue approximation and repair at treatment sites. The devices, systems and methods of the invention will find use in a variety of therapeutic procedures, including endovascular, minimally-invasive, and open surgical procedures, and can be used in various anatomical regions, including the abdomen, thorax, cardiovascular system, heart, intestinal tract, stomach, urinary tract, bladder, lung, and other organs, vessels, and tissues. The invention is particularly useful in those procedures requiring minimally-invasive or endovascular access to remote tissue locations, where the instruments utilized must negotiate long, narrow, and tortuous pathways to the treatment site. In addition, many of the devices and systems of the invention are adapted to be reversible and removable from the patient at any point without interference with or trauma to internal tissues.

摘要: A medical device includes a catheter shaft extending along a longitudinal axis and having a shaft lumen. A balloon includes a proximal balloon end coupled to the catheter shaft, an interior in fluid communication with the shaft lumen, and a distal balloon end. A lead wire extends from a proximal wire end through the shaft lumen and the interior to a distal wire end. The lead wire includes a stepped portion between a proximal wire surface and a distal wire surface. The distal balloon end is axially fixed to the proximal wire surface. The proximal wire surface is narrower than the distal wire surface. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要: A flexible drive shaft assembly is provided for an intravascular medical device, for example and without limitation, a blood pump, a rotational atherectomy device, or a rotational thrombectomy device. The blood pump embodiment provides an electric motor and a rotational impeller, with a rotational drive shaft disposed therebetween and configured to rotationally drive the impeller. The drive shaft is moved from an undeformed length to a deformed length when connected between the electric motor and the rotational impeller to provide a biasing force on the rotational impeller in the proximal direction to maintain the impeller in a desired axial or linear location. In other embodiments, drive shaft comprises a proximal section with a length and a spring constant and a distal section of relatively longer length and a relatively higher spring constant. In other embodiments, hypotube(s) and/or support mandrel(s) may be provided.

摘要: This invention is directed to an expandable stent for implantation in a body lumen, such as an artery, and a method for making it from a single length of tubing. The stent consists of a plurality of radially expandable cylindrical elements generally aligned on a common axis and interconnected by one or more links. A Y-shaped member is comprised of a U-shaped member and a link having a curved portion and a straight portion to improve the flexibility and thereby improve the fatigue performance of the Y-link junction.

摘要: A suturing system including an elongate distal member and an elongate proximal member proximal the elongate distal member, the elongate proximal member having a lumen. A needle deployment actuator extends to the elongate distal member and is configured to initiate proximal movement of a needle toward an opening of the elongate proximal member. A guide is disposed within the elongate proximal member, a perimeter of the guide forming a plurality of needle receiving gaps that, when viewed in cross-section, are circumferentially spaced about the deployment actuator with a portion of the guide disposed between adjacent needle receiving gaps extending outwardly towards a wall of the lumen of the elongate proximal member.

摘要: A device for closing an opening in a body lumen, the device having a first elongate member with a first lumen, a second elongate member distal the first elongate member, and a needle assembly slidably cooperating with the first elongate member to position a plurality of sutures within the lumen of the first elongate member. The needle assembly includes a needle base and a plurality of needle portions extending from the needle base. Slidable movement of the needle assembly in relation to the first elongate member locates the plurality of sutures selectively mounted to the needle assembly within the first lumen.

摘要: A guidewire for use in intravascular procedures has an inner coil that is radiopaque and an outer coil that is non-radiopaque at the distal end of the guidewire. The radiopaque inner coil is visible under fluoroscopy so that the physician can monitor the location of the distal end of the guidewire during a procedure. The inner coil and the outer coil can be formed from a single wire or a multi-filar wire. The inner coil and the outer coil can have any of the following cross-sections for enhanced torquability: I-beam; vertical rectangular; vertical ellipse; square; peanut shape; vertical hexagonal; horizontal hexagonal; and horizontal ellipse.

摘要: Devices, methods and systems are described that enable achieving a working diameter that is greater than a resting diameter and to stimulate fluid circulation during high-speed rotation. The drag coefficient of the drive shaft is increased and, in some embodiments, the mass is increased. Among other advantages, the resulting drive shaft with an eccentric element integrated with and/or attached thereto will achieve orbital motion at a rotational speed that is less the rotational speed required to achieve orbital motion without the increased drag coefficient. The concomitant increase in fluid flow and/or fluid stirring at a comparatively lower rotational speed is a further advantage. These characteristics may allow, therefore, a smaller diameter abrasive element to be used which is advantageous in small and/or highly tortuous vessels.
