摘要:
A deployment system for forming an incision in a target vessel, for placement of an anastomosis device and for deployment of an anastomosis device having an inner flange formed by radial expansion of the device and an outer flange formed by axial compression of the device.
摘要:
An auger is axially fixed to and positioned within a cutter. The auger and cutter advance at the same time relative to a contact structure placed against a vessel, penetrating the wall of the vessel and cutting a tissue plug. When the auger and the cutter are retracted from the vessel wall, the tissue plug is retained by the auger and cutter and removed from the vessel wall. The auger and the cutter thus create an opening in the vessel wall, without the need for a prior incision in that wall.
摘要:
A single integrated tool is used both to create an opening in a vessel wall and deploy an anastomosis device into that opening, thereby simplifying an anastomosis procedure such as a coronary artery bypass graft procedure. The creation of the opening and deployment of the anastomosis device may be actuated with a single control.

An anastomosis device includes a deployable section that may be connected to a discard section. The deployable section may be configured to expand in two substantially orthogonal directions during deployment. The deployable section may include a ring that includes one or more expandable elements.
摘要:
A method for performing anastomosis between a graft vessel and a target vessel with an integrated anastomosis tool may include actuating at least one control on the integrated anastomosis tool to create an opening in the target vessel and complete an anastomosis with the target vessel. Another method for performing anastomosis may include creating an opening in intact tissue of the target vessel with an integrated anastomosis tool; and deploying an anastomosis device with the integrated anastomosis tool. The anastomosis may be performed with an anastomosis device, such as an anastomosis device having a deployable section detachable from a discard section.

The present invention is a computer controlled display device. In one embodiment, the display device includes a flat panel display having an input for receiving display data. Additionally, a moveable assembly may be coupled to the display. The moveable assembly may provide at least three degrees of freedom of movement for the flat panel display device. Additionally, the moveable assembly may have a cross-sectional area, which is substantially less than a cross-sectional area of a display structure of the flat panel display. Additionally, the moveable assembly may include a plurality of stacked ball-and-socket assemblies.

A reel comprises a drum assembly enclosed within a shell comprising upper and lower shell portions. The drum assembly is secured to the lower shell portion. The drum assembly comprises a motor-driven rotating drum rigidly secured between two discs, and a frame subassembly. The drum is adapted to received a linear material spooled thereon. A first of the discs has a spiral groove on an outer surface thereof. The spiral groove has a first end near the center of the first disc and a second end near an outer edge thereof. The second end is tapered to lesser depth. The frame subassembly comprises side plates enclosing the drum and discs. A first side plate has a track assembly attached to its inner surface, and a translating plate adapted to translate horizontally within the track assembly. The translating plate has a horizontal pin at each of its ends, which pins are adapted to be received within the spiral groove of the first disc. As the drum and discs rotate, the horizontal pins alternatingly engage the spiral groove, causing the translating plate to translate linearly within the track assembly. The translating plate is connected to the upper shell portion, causing the upper shell portion to reciprocatingly rotate about a vertical axis with respect to the lower shell portion and drum assembly. A guide aperture is provided in the upper shell portion, through which linear material is drawn onto the rotating drum. Advantageously, the aperture translates through an arc in front of the drum, so that the linear material is distributed across the drum surface as it is wound.
