Abstract: A source-side coupler (10) for injecting light from an associated light source (4) into an associated fiber optic catheter (2) includes: an optical output aperture (14) configured to inject light from the associated light source into the associated fiber optic catheter; a plurality of mechanical switches (16) configured to be engaged by pins (34) of a catheter-side coupler; and an electronic processor (20) programmed to receive information from the associated fiber optic catheter via the connection by: electrically receiving the information if the connection establishes an electrical connection between the electronic processor and the associated fiber optic catheter, or mechanically receiving the information based on which mechanical switches of the plurality of mechanical switches are engaged by pins of the catheter-side coupler if the connection does not establish an electrical connection between the electronic processor and the associated fiber optic catheter.

Abstract: Systems and apparatuses for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) that include a catheter configured at a distal end with a guidewire to deploy the catheter within a vessel lumen to a situs of an aortic valve for leaflet resection; an accessory tool configured with a set of grasping elements attached at a catheter's distal end to enable the accessory tool to travel down the vessel lumen to the situs of the aortic valve to exert a pulling action, to draw an aortic valve leaflet in a direction towards the catheter's distal end and to draw a portion of the aortic valve leaflet into a protective sleeve of the catheter at the catheter's distal end; and a cutting sheath catheter configured at the catheter's distal end to resect tissue that includes a portion of the aortic valve leaflet drawn into the protective sleeve at the catheter's distal end.

Abstract: A leaflet resection catheter apparatus and system for a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) procedure including a catheter configured at a distal end with a guidewire to deploy the catheter within a vessel lumen to a situs of an aortic valve for leaflet resection; an accessory tool configured with a set of grasping elements attached at a catheter's distal end to enable the accessory tool to travel down the vessel lumen to the situs of the aortic valve to exert a pulling action to draw the aortic valve leaflet in a direction towards the catheter's distal end to draw a portion of the aortic valve leaflet into a protective sleeve of the catheter at the catheter's distal end; and one or more fibers of a ring of fibers surrounding the catheter's distal end to resect tissue that includes a portion of the aortic valve leaflet drawn into the protective sleeve.
