Filter apparatus for ostium of left atrial appendage
Robert A. Vantassel,Robert G. Hauser,Robert S. Schwartz,David R. Holmes,Gregg S. Sutton,Thomas E. Borillo,Jeffrey Welch +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a support structure attached to the filtering membrane, which can be radially expandable from a first configuration to a second configuration which engages the ostium or the interior wall of the left atrial appendage.
Patent
Valvuloplasty devices and methods
Wesley R. Pedersen,Robert A. Van Tassel,Robert S. Schwartz,Gregory G Brucker,Skott Greenhalgh +4 more
TL;DR: Aortic valvuloplasty catheter as mentioned in this paper has a tapered distal balloon segment that anchors within the left ventricle outflow track of the patient's heart and a rounded proximal segment which conforms to the aortic sinuses forcing the valve leaflets open.
Patent
Venous valvuloplasty device and method
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a method for replacing or restoring competence to incompetent valves, which is either percutaneously or surgically and is preferably constructed of a material capable of promoting cellular ingrowth such that, eventually, native biologic tissue completely covers the device, insulating the blood flow therefrom.
Patent
Percutaneous in-situ coronary bypass method and apparatus
TL;DR: In this paper, a tissue puncturing catheter is used to form blood flow paths between an artery and an adjacent vein such that arterial blood will flow through a segment of the adjacent vein, thereby bypassing a lesion in the artery.
Patent
Steerable catheter with external guidewire as catheter tip deflector
TL;DR: In this paper, a steerable catheter is adapted to be slidingly received within routing eyelets or the like where one of such eyelets is disposed at a distal end of the bendable element and another near the proximal end thereof.
