    摘要: The invention provides a method for determining the degree of partial occlusion of a conduit, comprising the steps of:a) producing a graphical plot of fluid pressure versus fluid flow rate through said conduit;b) determining the value of one or more of the following variables:(iv) the PFLA variable consisting of the area enclosed by said graphical plot;(v) the slope of the line joining the two inflection points situated at the extremities of the major axis of said graphical plot;(vi) the y-axis intercept of the line joining the two inflection points situated at the extremities of the major axis of said graphical plot;c) determining the degree of partial occlusion of said conduit by comparing one or more of the above variables, with an appropriate calibration curve, said calibration curve comprising values of the chosen variable for a conduit of the same type as the tested conduit, at predetermined known degrees of occlusion.The invention also provides a method for determining the elastic properties of conduits, and apparatus for determining both the degree of partial occlusion and the elastic properties of said conduits.

    摘要: Described is a method of stabilizing blood vessel wall abnormality. The method includes ultrasonically heating at least a portion of the blood vessel wall having the abnormality; monitoring a parameter related to a property of at least a portion of the heated portion of the blood vessel wall; and stopping the heating when the monitored parameter changes by a predetermined factor or after the monitored parameter changes in a slow enough rate. The slow enough rate may be, for instance, a predetermined fraction of a maximal rate change observed during heating.

    摘要: Catheter cannula, catheter, and catheterization method, for administering a fluid or/and substance to, or for draining a fluid or/and substance from, a treatment space of a body vessel, duct, or cavity. In some embodiments the cannula includes: an elongated flexible tube mountable on a needle, and having an invasive section and a non-invasive section; and at least one anchoring element protruding from, a surface of the invasive section in a manner such that an operative configuration of each anchoring element increases outer circumferential diameter of the cannula to an extent less than lumen diameter of the body vessel, duct, or cavity, at the treatment space, thereby anchoring the invasive section to inside the body vessel, duct, or cavity, at the treatment space. The catheter includes a needle and the cannula mounted thereupon.
