    摘要: A hemostasis valve is disclosed herein. The hemostasis valve may include an inner bushing, a rotation sleeve, an elastomeric sleeve, and a biasing element. The rotation sleeve may extend about the inner bushing and be rotationally displaceable relative to the inner bushing. The elastomeric sleeve may include a first end operably coupled to the inner bushing, a second end operably coupled to the rotation sleeve, and an iris valve portion. Rotation of the rotation sleeve relative to the inner bushing may cause the iris valve to transition from an open state to a closed state. The biasing element may act between the rotation sleeve and inner bushing to bias the iris valve towards at least one of a closed state or an open state.

    摘要: A device and method for hermetically sealing a medical device is provided. In one aspect, a silicon device is coupled to a sensor, such as a pressure transducer, which benefits from having direct contact with its environment, which in many cases, is the human body. Thus, a method to hermetically seal the non-sensing portion of a silicon device while allowing the sensing portion (e.g. the pressure transducer) to have direct contact with the body is provided. In one aspect, a silicon chip, a gold preform and a metallic housing are each primed for sealing and are assembled. The assembly is then heated to react the gold preform to the silicon chip and to form a molten gold-silicon alloy in-situ to bind the metallic housing to the non-sensing portion of the silicon chip. In this way, the non-sensing portion of the silicon chip is hermetically sealed and protected from exposure, while still permitting exposure of the sensing portion to the environment.

    摘要: Systems and methods for penetrating a tissue membrane to gain access to a target site are disclosed. In some examples, systems and methods for accessing the left atrium from the right atrium of a patient's heart are carried out by puncturing the intra-atrial septal wall. One embodiment provides a system for transseptal cardiac access that includes a stabilizer sheath having a side port, a shaped guiding catheter configured to exit the side port and a tissue penetration member disposed within and extendable from the distal end of the guide catheter. The tissue penetration member may be configured to penetrate tissue upon rotation and may be coupled to a distal portion of a torqueable shaft. In some embodiments, the stabilizer sheath and shaped guiding catheter may be moved relative to the patient's body structure and relative to each other so that a desired approach angle may be obtained for the tissue penetration member with respect to the target tissue.

    摘要: A method of displaying details of a coronary artery lesion in a cineangiogram, by adjusting each frame of the cineangiogram so that the lesion is continually displayed at a fixed location on a display. The remaining cardiac anatomy appears to move, in background, past a stationary arterial segment, thus making the displayed arterial segment easier to identify and to examine by medical personnel. Cineangiographic image frames are digitized and processed by a processor and the image frames are digitally shifted to place the arterial segment in substantially the same viewing location in each frame. Sequential image frames may be presented to the viewer as a stereoscopic pair, to produce pseudostereopsis. The arterial segment appears to the viewer in foreground, as if it was floating in front of the remaining cardiac anatomy. Image frames may be further processed to aid examination by medical personnel. The processor may make quantitative measurements of the cineangiogram and may display results of those measurements to aid review of the cineangiogram. Frames may be averaged to reduce quantum noise and to blur any structure noise; frames may be compared with prior cineangiograms to increase clarity or contrast. Coordinate adjustments for a cineangiogram may help guide therapeutic procedures, or may help enhance other imaging procedures such as fluoroscopy.
