Abstract: A drive assembly for use with a delivery catheter for delivering an implantable medical device includes a drive motor configured to be operably coupled to an inner shaft of the delivery catheter such that operation of the drive motor causes the inner shaft to translate relative to the outer shaft and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a position signal from a position sensor indicating a position of the implantable medical device relative to the outer shaft as well as a motor signal indicating a rotational position of an output shaft of the drive motor. The controller is configured to output a control signal instructing operation of the drive motor based upon the indicated rotational position of the output shaft of the drive motor and the indicated position of the implantable medical device relative to the outer shaft.

Abstract: A delivery system for an implantable medical device includes an outer shaft and an inner shaft translatable within the outer shaft. An internally exposed coil is disposed within the inner shaft and is electrically coupled to an externally exposed coil that can be used to inductively transmit a current flowing through the internally exposed coil. An actuation member extends within the inner shaft and includes a coupler, a force translation rod that extends proximally from the coupler and a plurality of push pull rods that extend distally from the coupler and that releasably couple to the implantable medical device. As the force translation rod moves relative to the internally exposed coil, an impedance varies in accordance with relative position.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to implantable systems and methods for treatment of pancreatic cancer. In an embodiment, a method of treating pancreatic cancer is included, the method including inserting an electrical stimulation lead through the inferior vena cava, a hepatic vein, and into the portal vein via a transjugular intrahepatic portosystem shunt (TIPS). The method can further include inserting the electrical stimulation lead into at least one of the superior mesenteric vein and the splenic vein. The method can further include positioning electrodes on the lead within at least one of the superior mesenteric vein and the splenic vein and delivering one or more electric fields through the electrodes to a treatment zone including at least a portion of the pancreas. The electric fields can be at frequencies and a field strength effective to prevent and/or disrupt cellular mitosis in a cell.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to implantable systems for cancer treatment and related methods. In an embodiment, an implantable system for cancer treatment is included having a plurality of implantable stimulation leads, a plurality of electric field therapy electrodes, a therapy output circuit, and control circuitry. The therapy output circuit can generate an electrical current for the plurality of electric field therapy electrodes to create one or more electric fields that are effective to prevent and/or disrupt cellular mitosis in a cell. The control circuitry can be configured to cause the electrical current to be distributed asymmetrically between working electrodes and counter electrodes amongst the plurality of electric field therapy electrodes. At least some of the plurality of electric field therapy electrodes are disposed on the plurality of implantable stimulation leads and in electrical communication with the therapy output circuit. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Abstract: A system for delivering an implantable medical device includes a handle housing. An outer sheath is coupler secured to a proximal end of an outer sheath that is configured to cover at least a portion of the implantable medical device. An outer sheath drive assembly is operably coupled to the outer sheath coupler and is configured to translate the outer sheath relative to the handle housing. An actuation shaft coupler is secured to a proximal end of an activation shaft. An actuation shaft drive assembly is operably coupled to the actuation shaft coupler and is configured to cause the actuation shaft to translate relative to the handle housing and shift the implantable medical device from a first position and a second position in which the implantable medical device is radially expanded relative to the first position.

Abstract: A delivery system for an implantable medical device includes an outer shaft defining an outer shaft lumen and an inner shaft translatable within the outer shaft lumen, the inner shaft defining a lumen extending through the inner shaft. An actuation mechanism extends through the lumen and includes a coupler, a force translation rod that extends proximally from the coupler and a plurality of push pull rods that extend distally from the coupler and that releasably couple to the implantable medical device. The force translation rod includes a transition in electromagnetic permeability. The delivery system includes an inductive coil disposed relative to the force translation rod and positioned to detect a change in inductance resulting from the transition in electromagnetic permeability passing through the inductive coil.

Abstract: A system may include an input device configured to receive a signal indicative of elevated glucose in a patient, and an electrical stimulator configured to electrically stimulate at least one skeletal muscle. The system may further include a controller operably connected to the electrical stimulator. The controller may be configured for delivering a glucose therapy in response to the signal by controlling the electrical stimulator. The system may be configured to deliver the therapy in combination with other glucose therapies, and the therapy may be titrated based on a sensed parameter or patient feedback.
