    摘要: A system for establishing differential perfusion without the use of an occlusion balloon or other flow separator devices. The flows through two lumens are controlled such that the blood flow issuing from one lumen terminating in the aortic arch supplies the entire demand of the cerebral subcirculation while the blood flow issuing from a second lumen terminating in the descending aorta supplies the entire demand of the corporeal subcirculation. When the two flows are properly balanced, an inversion layer forms therebetween and no intermixing of the two flows takes place.

    摘要: The invention is a catheter with a fluid flow divider positioned near the distal end of the catheter for dividing a first lumen into two channels at a point where a second lumen branches from the first lumen, and for selectively perfusing the branch lumen. The invention is particularly suited for use in the aortic arch. The fluid flow divider may comprise one or more inflatable chambers or one or more deployable shrouds comprising a plurality of arms with a webbing extending between adjacent arms. The inflatable chambers may be relatively noncompliant or they may be compliant, exhibiting elastic behavior after initial inflation, to closely fit the aortic lumen size and curvature. The catheter may further include one or more additional or auxiliary flow control members located upstream or downstream from the fluid flow divider to further segment the patient's circulatory system for selective perfusion to different organ systems within the body or to assist in anchoring the catheter in a desired position.

    摘要: A valve prosthesis is sized and configured to rest within a blood path subject to antegrade and retrograde blood flow. A trestle element on the prosthesis extends across the blood path. A leaflet assembly is suspended from the trestle element and extends into the blood path in alignment with blood flow. At least one mobile leaflet member on the leaflet assembly is sized and configured to assume orientations that change according to blood flow direction. The mobile leaflet member has a first orientation that permits antegrade blood flow and a second orientation that resists retrograde blood flow. The valve prosthesis, when implanted in a heart chamber or great vessel, serves to supplement and/or repair and/or replace native one-way heart valve function.

    摘要: Devices, systems and methods establish scaffold-like structures within the heart or a body cavity. The scaffold-like structures establish a stable platform that makes it possible to accomplish a desired therapeutic and/or diagnostic objective in a targeted fashion in one or more tissue regions. The desired therapeutic and/or diagnostic objectives can include, e.g., (i) the delivery of various chemical, drug, and/or biological agents (in liquid, gel, or wafer form) into contact on or in the tissue regions, to accomplish, e.g., ablation or other therapeutic objectives in a controlled, precise fashion; and/or (ii) the delivery of mechanical, heat, cooling, or electrical energy to the tissue region—e.g., to promote the intake by tissue of a chemical, drug, or biological agent, or to pace heart tissue, or to form temporary or permanent conduction blocks, or to otherwise achieve localized effects in targeted tissue regions such as tissue shrinkage, or combinations thereof; and/or (iii) the positioning of physiologic sensors and/or monitors to analyze heart function for diagnostic purposes, e.g., to locate the origin of ectopic pacemakers or other regions where therapeutic intervention may be indicated.

    摘要: Devices, systems, and methods employ an implant that is sized and configured to attach to the annulus of a dysfunctional heart valve annulus. In use, the implant extends across the major axis of the annulus above and/or along the valve annulus. The implant reshapes the major axis dimension and/or other surrounding anatomic structures. The implant restores to the heart valve annulus and leaflets a more functional anatomic shape and tension. The more functional anatomic shape and tension are conducive to coaptation of the leaflets, which, in turn, reduces retrograde flow or regurgitation. The implant improves function to the valve, without surgically cinching, resecting, and/or fixing in position large portions of a dilated annulus, or without the surgical fixation of ring-like structures.
