    摘要: This is an implantable vaso-occlusive device. It is typically a vaso-occlusive coil comprised of a primary helically wound coil which may then be wound into a secondary shape. Central to the invention is the use of a stretch-resisting member fixedly attached within at least a portion of the primary coil. The stretch-resisting member may be formed into coil tips at the ends of the coil by melting the polymeric fibers or alloys or by attaching the fibers with a glue. This stretch-resisting member is for the primary purpose of preventing stretching of the coil during movement of that coil, e.g., by retrieval or repositioning after deployment. The device typically has a self-forming secondary shape made from a pre-formed primary linear helically wound coil, although it need not have the secondary form. External fibers may be attached to the device and affixed to the pre-formed linear member to increase. The vaso-occlusive member may be also be covered with a fibrous braid. The device is typically introduced into the body through a catheter. The device is passed axially through the catheter sheath and assumes its secondary form upon exiting the catheter.

    摘要: This is an artificial occlusion kit for implanting and retaining an artificial occlusion device in a body space adjacent to and extending from a body lumen in a mammal. The includes at least one occlusion device and a retaining device for blocking the migration of the occlusion device out of the occlusion site. The retaining device is radially expandable at a retaining site adjacent the body space to be occluded to a diameter that is sufficient to engage the body lumen wall at the retaining site and form a barrier across the entrance zone of the body space to be occluded. The expanded retaining device also forms a lumen for flow through body lumen at the retaining site. The retaining device may be placed in the body temporarily or permanently. At least one semi-penetrable space may also be provided in the retaining device, allowing introduction of occlusion devices into the body space to be occluded, but preventing subsequent migration of the occlusion devices out of the body space. This semi-penetrable space may also be distensible to allow for delivery of occlusion devices therethrough. An introducer wire or a tapered-tip delivery catheter may be used to distend the distensible space and deliver the occlusion devices. The retaining device structure may further include a radiopaque metal wire wound into a primary helix over an inner core member made of a superelastic alloy of nickel and titanium.

    摘要: This is an implantable vaso-occlusive device. It is typically a vaso-occlusive coil comprising a primary helically wound coil which may then be wound into a secondary shape. Central to the invention is the use of a stretch-resisting member extending through the lumen formed, which stretch-resisting member is fixedly attached, directly or indirectly, to the coil in at least two locations. The stretch resisting member is preferably somewhat loose within the interior of the lumen so to prevent the coil from collapsing, binding, and therefore stiffening during passage of turns through the human body. The coil should bend easily. In some variations of the invention, the stretch-resisting member may be formed into coil tips at the ends of the coil using simple equipment such as soldering irons or the like. The tips are typically of the same diameter as is the coil body itself. This stretch-resisting member is for the primary purpose of preventing stretching of the coil during movement of that coil, e.g., by retrieval or repositioning after deployment. The device may have a self-forming secondary shape made from a pre-formed primary linear helically wound coil, although it need not have the secondary form. Desirably, the coil is extremely flexible and is controllaby released using a severable or mechanical joint such as an electrolytically detachable joint. External fibers may be attached to the device and affixed to the pre-formed linear member to increase thrombogenicity. The extremely flexible variation of the invention may be hydraulically delivered through the lumen of a catheter and is so flexible that it may be retrievably delivered therethrough a flow-directed catheter. The vaso-occlusive member may be also be covered with a fibrous braid. The device is typically introduced into the body through a catheter. The device is passed axially through the catheter sheath and assumes its secondary form upon exiting the catheter.

    摘要: This is a catheter assembly and a section of that catheter assembly. That catheter assembly may be used in accessing a tissue target within the body, typically a target which is accessible through the vascular system. Central to the invention is the use of a braided metallic reinforcing member, typically of super-elastic alloy ribbon, situated within the catheter body in such a way to create a catheter having an exceptionally thin wall, controlled stiffness, high resistance to kinking, and complete recovery in vivo from kinking situations. The braid may have a single pitch or may vary in pitch along the axis of the catheter or catheter section. The braided ribbon reinforcing member typically is placed between a flexible outer tubing member and an inner tubing member to produce a catheter section which is very flexible but highly kink resistant. The catheter sections made according to this invention may be used alone or in conjunction with other catheter sections either made using the concepts shown herein or made in other ways. The more proximal sections of the catheter assembly are often substantially stiffer than the more distal sections due to the presence of stiff polymeric tubing or metallic tubing or composited materials in the stiffer section.
