    Abstract: Devices (10) for sealing an opening (1) in a blood vessel (3) are disclosed. A device (10) can include: an elongate, tubular non-stick outer sheath (20), the non-stick outer sheath (20) having a distal end (21) that is insertable into a vessel (3) of a patient through the opening (1) in the vessel wall (2), and having a proximal end remaining outside the patient; an elongate, tubular non-stick inner sheath (30) disposed within the non-stick outer sheath (20); and an elongate, tubular adhesive film (40) disposed between the non-stick outer sheath (20) and the non-stick inner sheath (30), the adhesive film (40) having both inward- facing and outward- facing adhesive surfaces and being supportable by the non-stick inner sheath (30) during insertion into the vessel (3) of the patient.

    Abstract: A cryotherapy balloon catheter includes a compliant cryotherapy balloon comprising a distal balloon section dimensioned for placement within a renal artery and a proximal balloon section dimensioned to abut against an ostium of the renal artery and extend into at least a portion of the abdominal aorta. The compliant balloon has a diameter that varies non-uniformly along a length of the compliant balloon, such that a diameter at the proximal balloon section is larger than a diameter of the distal balloon section. The cryotherapy balloon catheter may be configured to deliver cryogenic therapy to at least the ostium of the renal artery sufficient to irreversibly terminate renal sympathetic nerve activity, such as by causing neurotmesis of renal nerve fibers and ganglia at the ostium of the renal artery.

    Abstract: An imaging assembly for an intravascular ultrasound system includes a catheter, an imaging core, and at least one transducer conductor. The imaging core is insertable into the catheter and extendable from a distal end of the catheter. The imaging core includes a rotatable magnet, a tilted reflective surface, and at least one fixed transducer all disposed in a body. The rotatable magnet is configured and arranged to rotate by a magnetic field generated external to the catheter. The tilted reflective surface rotates with the magnet. The at least one transducer is configured and arranged for transforming applied electrical signals to acoustic signals and also for transforming received echo signals to electrical signals. The at least one transducer conductor is electrically coupled to the at least one transducer and is configured and arranged to extend into the catheter when the imaging core is extended from the catheter.
