摘要:
A stent delivery catheter comprises a catheter body having a proximal end, a distal end, and a guidewire lumen extending from the distal end to at least part way between the proximal end and the distal end. A balloon is disposed over the catheter body near the distal end, and a stent is positioned over the balloon. The stent has a proximal end, a distal end, and a side opening between the proximal end and the distal end. A side sheath is coupled to the catheter body and has a proximal end, a distal end, and a guidewire lumen extending between the proximal end and the distal end. The proximal end of the side sheath is located between the proximal end of the catheter body and the balloon, and the side sheath exits out of the side opening of the stent.

摘要:
Systems and methods for positioning a first guidewire (25) in a primary vessel (M) and a second guidewire (27) in a branch vessel (B). One embodiment comprises an introducer (10) having first (12) and second lumens (14) adapted to slidably receive the first guidewire within the first lumen and the second guidewire within the second lumen. One method embodiment includes inserting the first guidewire into the main vessel, introducing the introducer over the first guidewire, and inserting the second guidewire within the second lumen such that the second guidewire extends into the branch vessel. The introducer is withdrawn while maintaining the first and second guidewires in the respective vessels.
摘要:
A diagnostic device for determining the amount of change required in a coronary sinus to reduce valve regurgitation. The device includes a distal tube having a distal anchor at a distal end portion of the distal tube, a proximal tube having a proximal anchor at a distal end portion of the proximal tube, and an adjustor to move the distal tube relative to the proximal tube. The proximal tube and the distal tube together form a telescoping elongate body adapted to fit within the coronary sinus, and the device includes a scale to measure the movement of the distal anchor relative to the proximal anchor.

摘要:
A system and method is provided for treating a mitral valve. The method preferably includes advancing a guide catheter to an ostium of the coronary sinus and advancing a delivery catheter containing a medical implant through the guide catheter and into the coronary sinus. The delivery catheter has an inner member on which the medical implant is held and an outer sheath which is retractable for deploying and releasing the medical implant. In one embodiment, the medical implant has proximal and distal anchors and a bridge containing resorbable material. The inner member may have a flexible sleeve for gripping and holding a portion of the outer sheath, thereby providing a releasable attachment mechanism. In another embodiment, the inner member may include an inflatable balloon having a tapered distal region which extends from the outer sheath for providing an atraumatic tip. The inflatable balloon may also be used to expand the medical implant and to grip the outer sheath.
摘要:
A system for treating a bifurcation includes first and second delivery catheters, each having an expandable member. A stent having a side hole is disposed on the second delivery catheter. A portion of the first delivery catheter is disposed under a portion of the stent. The first delivery catheter is slidable relative to the second delivery catheter, and the first delivery catheter passes through the side hole. Expansion of the first expandable member expands a proximal portion of the stent in a main branch vessel, and expansion of the second expandable member expands a distal portion of the stent in a side branch vessel.
摘要:
A flexible engaging delivery device (10) for delivery of a vaso-occlusion flexible engaging structure (24) to a vascular target site via a catheter (50) is disclosed comprising a catheter (50) having a lumen (52) and an introducer (48) disposed within the catheter (52). The introducer (48) comprises an outer sleeve (49), a shaft (12) and a wire (16) that is slidably movable within the shaft (12). A wire tip (22) is permanently connected to the wire (16), wherein the wire tip (22) is adapted to contact a matted portion (20) of the vaso-occlusion flexible engaging structure (24) and is used to deliver said flexible engaging structure from said flexible engaging device (10) to a vaso-occlusion target site.
