    摘要: Techniques are disclosed that allow a stent to be folded within a balloon of a stent delivery system. In one example, a stent has first and second columns that extend from a proximal end to a distal end along a longitudinal axis. Each of the first columns extend substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis and comprise a plurality of elements that each have a substantially polygonal shape. Each of the second columns extend substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis and are between adjacent first columns. Each of the respective second columns include a plurality of first connectors that have a curvilinear shape and that extend in a substantially circumferential direction to connect adjacent first columns. The stent also has a plurality of second connectors, wherein at least one of the second connectors extends between a first element and a second element.

    摘要: An elongate medical device that may be used for performing medical procedures on a patient is provided. This elongate medical device may include a first member having a distal end, an outer surface, and a first lumen, where the first member may have an elongated configuration such that the length of the first member is at least ten times greater than the width of the first member. The elongate medical device may also have a second member positioned within the first member and a hood stop. The hood stop in this device may be positioned within the first member and may have a distal region and a shoulder region where the shoulder region may be configured to limit the travel of the first member or the second member past the hood stop.

    摘要: Devices and methods for delivering therapeutic or diagnostic agents to a target tissue of a human body are disclosed. A catheter in accordance with the present invention includes an elongate shaft having a distal end, a proximal end, and a lumen therethrough. The elongate shaft includes a first curved portion proximate the distal end of the elongate shaft. The first curved portion of the elongate shaft defines a first plane. The elongate shaft also includes a second curved portion disposed between the distal end of the elongate shaft and the first curved portion of the elongate shaft. The second curved portion of the elongate shaft defines a second plane. The second plane intersects the first plane at an angle.

    摘要: Therapeutic catheters for increasing myocardial blood perfusion in procedures including percutaneous myocardial revascularization (PMR), which can include tips for cutting into the myocardium to stimulate a healing response and/or for injecting angiogenic substances. PMR catheters can include an outer shaft slidably housing an inner shaft having a distal therapeutic tip. The outer shaft can be slidably disposed in a guide catheter and have an expandable atraumatic distal tip for presenting an enlarged distal profile against the heart chamber wall. The enlarged atraumatic profile can reduce the likelihood of the outer shaft penetrating undesirably into the myocardium. One expandable distal tip expands radially when forced against the endocardium. Another expandable tip expands when unconstrained by the guide catheter. Yet another expandable tip expands when manipulated by an elongate manipulation member.

    摘要: Guide catheters which can be used in percutaneous myocardial revascularization (PMR) to deliver therapeutic catheters to difficult to reach heart chamber wall regions. Some guide catheters include distal regions which can be bent under control from the proximal region of the catheter. One steerable guide catheter has a flexible distal region, a more proximal, less flexible intermediate region, a first lumen for receiving a therapeutic catheter, and an elongate manipulation member slidably disposed in a second, blind lumen. The elongate manipulation member can be secured off-center near the distal end of the flexible distal region. The distal region can be bent by retracting the manipulation member and straightened by pushing the manipulation member. Controllably bendable guide catheters according to the present invention can be nested inside other, similar guide catheters. The invention also includes means for resisting free rotation of guide catheters relative to other adjacent catheters or tubes.
