    摘要: A suturing device of the present invention is in the form a compact, light-weight handheld device that includes a needle and suture assembly, a mechanism for gripping and releasing the needle/suture (a “needle transfer mechanism” or “needle shuttle mechanism”), safely capturing the needle/suture upon exit from the patient's tissue, and returning the needle to a position such that the process of delivering additional sutures to the patient can be repeated. A safety shield mechanism ensures the user is protected from the needle at all times. The device of the present invention accommodates the right or left-handed user, rests comfortably in the user's hand, allows sufficient visualization of the procedure site, and permits the user to either control penetration depth of the needle or default to a device-determined depth. The present device permits the user to utilize a wrist-rotation (pivoting) suture delivery technique.

    摘要: Devices and method are disclosed for reducing pressure in a patient's vena cava and in the right atrium of a patient's heart. A valve is implanted in the inferior vena cava (IFC) between the patient's renal veins and hepatic veins. When pressure in a patient's IFC reaches high levels, i.e., the pressure differential across the valve reaches high levels, the valve automatically closes or begins to close. The closing is caused by the pressure of the patient's blood moving one or more flaps in the valve to a closed or near-closed position. This prevents excessive pressure in the upper or superior vena cava and the right atrium of the patient's heart. The device also includes a pressure relief feature that opens and allows retrograde flow of blood if the pressure differential exceeds a yet higher pressure.
