    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for improved administration of brachytherapy in the treatment of prostate disease. More particularly, a prostate visualization device is provided comprising a catheter coupled to at least one deployable member at the distal end of the catheter. The deployable member is preferably manufactured from a shape memory alloy having a petal-shaped configuration suitable for engaging and defining the proximal region of a patient's bladder. The deployable member may comprise tubing filled with air or other radiopaque agents to facilitate ultrasonic imaging of the deployable members near the bladder/prostate junction.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for brachytherapy treatment of prostate disease for use in conjunction with needles containing a plurality of radioactive seeds. The apparatus comprises a housing and plunger assembly operable by a single clinician. The plunger is coupled to the housing, so that when the apparatus is actuated the needle is retracted against the plunger and the plurality of radioactive seeds is ejected.

    摘要: Devices and treatments for various joint conditions include a resilient elongate orthopedic device inserted into a joint space using a suture. The suture is passed through the joint space and used to pull the orthopedic device into the joint space. The suture may be using a percutaneously inserted needle or other type of needle-based delivery instrument. The resilient elongate orthopedic device may be restrained to a reduced profile that permits minimally invasive implantation, but assume an enlarged profile when positioned at an implantation site.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to an implantable vascular prosthesis configured for use in a wide range of applications, such as treating aneurysms, maintaining patency in a vessel, and allowing for the controlled delivery of therapeutic agents to a vessel wall. The prosthesis comprises one or more helical sections coupled to one or more anchoring sections having a generally zig-zag or cell-like configuration. The prosthesis is configured to conform to a vessel wall without substantially remodeling the vessel, and further is configured to be precisely deployed in a vessel without shifting or foreshortening during deployment.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a proximal catheter assembly configured to facilitate natural or suction-assisted aspiration through a catheter lumen. The proximal catheter assembly comprises a multi-function valve configured to perform functions associated with conventional check valves and relief valves. The valve is configured to regulate the direction of fluid flow, and further configured to regulate the rate of suction-assisted aspiration provided through the lumen of the catheter. When the rate of suction-assisted aspiration exceeds a predetermined threshold, the valve opens to allow fluid to be drawn from tubing coupled to the proximal catheter assembly, thereby mitigating excessively high rates of aspiration imposed upon the patient's vessel.
