    Abstract: A stent may include a connector having a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion positioned between the first and second portions. The connector may be configured to interconnect axially adjacent stent segments. The connector may be further configured such that the third portion severs in response to a threshold amount of axial force, axial foreshortening, and/or cyclic loading or fatigue, in order to predispose the severance of one or more pre-configured connectors in a controlled manner to minimize any potential harm to the surrounding vasculature of a patient.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide apparatus and methods for embolic filtering during percutaneous valve replacement and repair procedures. Under one aspect, an apparatus comprises a sheath and a filter. The sheath has proximal and distal ends and a lumen therebetween. The distal end may be introduced into the aortic arch via the peripheral arteries and ascending aorta, while the proximal end may be disposed outside of the body. The lumen permits percutaneous aortic valve replacement or repair therethrough. The filter has a frame with an inlet and an outlet and an emboli-filtering mesh attached to the frame. The inlet is substantially spans the aortic arch in a region between the aortic valve and the great arteries. The outlet is coupled to the distal end of the sheath without leaving any gaps through which emboli could pass and without obstructing the lumen at the distal end of the sheath.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for treating an injured or severed nerve pathway, wherein one or more microporous tubes are implanted into the nerve pathway to bridge the injured or severed region. A bioactive matrix including stem cells and nutrients is disposed within the microporous tube to facilitate growth of the stem cells and reestablishment of the sensory and motor conductive pathways through the injured or severed region. The microporous tube protects the bioactive matrix during development of the stem cells, and also retains the end regions in proper alignment during the nerve pathway regeneration.

    Abstract: An emboli filtration apparatus is provided comprising a guide wire having a filter element captured thereon, so that the guide wire is free to rotate and translate while the filter element remains stationary. The apparatus allows for movement and rotation of the guide wire as devices are advanced over it to treat occlusive disease, substantially without dislodging the filter element. In a preferred embodiment, the guide wire comprises a proximal stop configured to reposition the filter element during a medical procedure without having to remove or insert additional interventional devices.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a proximal catheter assembly that is configured to facilitate aspiration through a catheter lumen. The proximal catheter assembly enables natural aspiration to be achieved within the catheter lumen, for example, using an arterial-venous shunt, and further enables suction-assisted aspiration or infusion to be applied through the catheter lumen. This allows a physician to provide a substantially continuous level of retrograde flow within a vessel during a medical procedure without damaging the vessel wall, while providing the option of suction-assisted aspiration, when necessary, to further influence the level of aspiration within the vessel.
