摘要:
A closure device for sealing a patent foramen ovale (PFO) in the heart includes a left atrial anchor adapted to be placed in a left atrium of the heart, a right atrial anchor adapted to be placed in a right atrium of the heart, and a flexible elongate member adapted to extend through the passageway and connect the left and right atrial anchors. A delivery system for delivering the closure device includes a lock push tube for moving a lock along the elongate member and a wire release tube surrounding a wire for controlling movement of the right atrial anchor along the elongate member. The lock push tube and the wire release tube extend in a side-by-side relationship. A handle includes knobs for controlling the lock push tube and the wire. A device for retrieving a mis-deployed closure device includes a shaft portion and an expandable retrieval portion.

A device for sealing a patent foramen ovale (PFO) in the heart is provided. The device includes a left atrial anchor adapted to be placed in a left atrium of the heart, a right atrial anchor adapted to be placed in a right atrium of the heart, and an elongate member adapted to extend through the passageway and connect the left and right atrial anchors. The right atrial anchor preferably includes a plurality of arms and a cover attached to the arms. The left atrial anchor preferably also includes a plurality of arms and preferably does not include a cover. Preferably, the elongate member has a first end fixedly connected to the left atrial anchor and a portion, proximal to the first end, passing through the right atrial anchor. Preferably, the elongate member is flexible.

A closure device for sealing a patent foramen ovale (PFO) in the heart includes a left atrial anchor adapted to be placed in a left atrium of the heart, a tether fixedly connected to the left atrial anchor and adapted to extend through the passageway of the PFO, a right atrial anchor adapted to be placed in a right atrium of the heart and moved along the tether, and a lock for securing the position of the right atrial anchor along the tether. The left and right atrial anchors preferably include a plurality of arms formed as loops and may include means for securing each arm in case of fracture in the loop. After the closure device is positioned, a cutting tool may sever the portion of the tether proximal of the right atrial anchor. The closure device can be retrieved during delivery, including by use of a snare catheter.

Electrically conductive films comprising a flexible support, an extensible metal or metal alloy layer, and a crosslinked polymeric protective layer have at least one permanently deformed curved region. The films can be light transmissive and can have regions of compound curvature, and the metal or metal alloy layer can be substantially continuous. The films have reduced susceptibility to fracture or corrosion compared to commercially available electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding films.

The methods and devices disclosed herein pertain to the percutaneous treatment of various forms of aortic dissection by at least partially filling the false lumen of the aortic dissection with a stabilization agent percutaneously and steps to decrease the size of the false lumen using the devices. Fluid maybe aspirated from the false lumen to decrease the volume of the false lumen. And the entrance opening between the true lumen and the false lumen may be sealed with a sealing agent such as a biocompatible adhesive. The medical devices disclosed herein generally comprise an extendable sealing element that is used in conjunction with a catheter to expand the true lumen while reducing the size of the false lumen. The device has the ability to aspirate and/or deliver fluid containing the stabilization agent into the false lumen.
