    摘要: Percutaneous transmyocardial revascularization (PMR) systems are disclosed for creating thin, linear incisions through the endocardium and partially into the myocardium. The systems position a catheter body (10) lengthwise along the endocardial surface and incorporate a cutting mechanism (14) movable radially relative to the catheter body to create one or more thin, linear incisions along one or more windows (16) through the catheter body. Flexible support strands (12) are used to urge each window into intimate contact with the endocardial surface. Each cutting element is adapted to protrude radially outward from the catheter body to contact tissue adjacent each window. The cutting mechanism incorporates a mechanical cutting element or an electrode designed to transmit direct current or RF energy into tissue to simultaneously cut and coagulate tissue. The catheter also can infuse a therapeutic agent directly into the incisions to encourage angiogenesis. The catheter also cuts thin, linear incisions capable of ablating arrhythmia substrates by disrupting electrical propagation through the affected myocardium.

    摘要: A resilient graft construction incorporates a structural layer (38) formed of a resilient body compatible metal or polymer, and a fluid impervious layer of graft material (40) secured to the structural layer. The structural layer includes an elongate longitudinal primary section (42), and secondary sections (46) extended transversely from opposie sides of the primary section (42). The secondary sections (46) can be arranged in opposed pairs, or staggered. The secondary sections (46) further can be tapered in width, thickness or both. The grafts can be constructed by stamping or otherwise severing structural layer patterns from a flat sheet of structural material, then thermally setting the structural layers when they are wrapped about a mandril to determine a relaxed state curvature. Opposed longitudinal edges either can overlap one another or be spaced apart from one another in the relaxed state. According to one alternative, the structural layer (38) alone functions as a stent. Other alternatives include circumferentially closed graft structures, one of which consists of a resilient graft material.

    摘要: An atherectomy device includes a catheter (20) with a window (28) at its distal tip for admitting tissue into a catheter compartment. A cylindrical cartridge (32) in the compartment has a cutting edge that supports an electrically conductive cutting element, e.g. a band or wire. The cutting element and adjacent tissue can be heated to a selected temperature by generating an electrical current through the cutting element. The catheter is maneuverable to position its distal end near a lesion in an artery. The catheter incorporates a dilatation balloon or other feature to urge the catheter against the lesion, so that at least part of the lesion enters the compartment through the window. Then, the cartridge (32) is manipulated from the catheter's proximal end to move the cutting edge across the window (28), severing the acquired tissue. According to alternative embodiments, the cartridge is either rotated or moved axially relative to the catheter, in either event closing the catheter window when the cut is complete.

    摘要: A catheter is insertable into a vessel within a mammalian body. The catheter includes a tubular body, at least one channel extending along the tubular body; and a central lumen. The tubular body includes an exterior surface, a first end and a second end, and defines a length between the first end and the second end. The channel passes between a first opening and a second opening and includes a slot in the tubular body between the channel and the exterior surface of the tubular body such that a tubular member can be passed between the channel and the exterior surface. The slot extends from the the first opening to the second opening and includes a pair of edges. The central lumen extends along the tubular body at least for a portion of the length of the tubular body. The catheter can be used as a rapid exchange catheter, for stent deployment, for drug delivery or therapeutic infusion with or without electoporation, to provide localized heat, to provide ultrasonic visualization and ablation, and to examine for vulnerable plaque. The catheter may have multiple balloons.
