Abstract: A percutaneous circulatory support device includes a housing and an impeller disposed within the housing and being rotatable relative to the housing to cause blood to flow through the housing. A cannula is coupled to the housing, and a distal tip portion is coupled to the cannula opposite the housing. A control wire is movable to modify at least one of a radius, a stiffness, and a shape of the distal tip portion.

Abstract: A catheter system (100) for placement within a treatment site (106) at a vessel wall (208A) or a heart valve includes an energy source (124), a balloon (104), an energy guide (122A), and a tissue identification system (142). The energy source (124) generates energy. The balloon (104) is positionable substantially adjacent to the treatment site (106). The balloon (104) has a balloon wall (130) that defines a balloon interior (146). The balloon (104) is configured to retain a balloon fluid (132) within the balloon interior (146). The energy guide (122A) is configured to receive energy from the energy source (124) and guide the energy into the balloon interior (146) so that plasma is formed in the balloon fluid (132) within the balloon interior (146). The tissue identification system (142) is configured to spectroscopically analyze tissue within the treatment site (106). A method for treating a treatment site (106) within or adjacent to a vessel wall (208A) or a heart valve can utilize any of the catheter systems (100) described herein.

Abstract: A percutaneous circulatory support device includes a housing having a proximal end portion, a distal end portion, and a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal end portion and the distal end portion. An impeller is disposed within the housing, and the impeller is configured to rotate relative to the housing to cause blood to flow through the housing. A motor is operably coupled to the impeller, and the motor is configured to rotate the impeller relative to the housing. A pressure sensor is coupled to the housing and is disposed at a non-zero angle relative to the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A catheter system (100) for treating a treatment site (106) within or adjacent to a vessel wall (208A) or a heart valve within a body (107) of a patient (109) includes an energy source (124), a balloon (104), an energy guide (122A), and a tissue identification system (142). The energy source (124) generates energy. The balloon (104) is positionable substantially adjacent to the treatment site (106). The balloon (104) includes a balloon wall (130) that defines a balloon interior (146). The balloon (104) can be configured to retain a balloon fluid (132) within the balloon interior (146). The energy guide (122A) is configured to receive energy from the energy source (124) and guide the energy into the balloon interior (146) so that plasma bubbles (134) are formed in the balloon fluid (132) within the balloon interior (146). The tissue identification system (142) can be configured to acoustically analyze tissue within the treatment site (106).

Abstract: A percutaneous circulatory support device including a percutaneous blood pump coupled to a distal end region of an elongate shaft at a junction. The percutaneous blood pump is configured to pump blood through a housing of the percutaneous blood pump during use. The junction includes an end cap at a proximal end of the percutaneous blood pump surrounding and secured to a distal end region of the elongate shaft at the junction. The junction may include a fillet of material surrounding a proximal end region of the end cap and extending proximally thereof and surrounding an exterior surface of the elongate shaft. The proximal end region of the end cap may include an annular side wall with one or more apertures and/or one or more grooves extending into the annular side wall in which the fillet of material extends into.

Abstract: A mechanical circulatory support system may include a blood pump, an elongate tube coupled with the blood pump and extending proximally from the blood pump, and a flexible elongate shaft configured to be removably positioned within the elongate tube. The blood pump may be configured to pump blood from a ventricle of a heart of a patient to vasculature of the patient. The elongate shaft may be inserted into the elongate tube prior to or during delivery of the blood pump to the heart to achieve a desired pushability along the elongate tube. The elongate shaft may be removed from the elongate tube to increase a flexibility along the elongate tube to mitigate movement at a proximal end of the elongate tube being transferred to the blood pump positioned in the heart.

Abstract: A percutaneous circulatory support device includes a housing, an impeller disposed within the housing and being rotatable relative to the housing, through the housing, and out of the outlet, a cannula coupled to the housing, the cannula having a body extending between a proximal end and a distal end and along a longitudinal axis, a structural body portion, a surface coating disposed onto the structural body portion of the cannula, and a channel defined between the structural body portion of the cannula and the surface coating, and a pull wire coupled to the cannula and extending through the channel of the cannula. Manipulation of the pull wire causes a change in shape profile of the cannula body.
