Devices And Methods For Crossing Chronic Total Occlusions

US Patent:

2010003, Feb 4, 2010

Filed:

May 22, 2007

Appl. No.:

12/302142

Inventors:

Gurpreet S. Sandhu - Rochester MN, US
Charanjit S. Rihal - Rochester MN, US

Assignee:

Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research - Rochester MN

International Classification:

A61M 29/00, A61M 25/00

US Classification:

606194, 604264

Abstract:

Devices and methods for crossing total chronic occlusions in body lumens (e.g., blood vessels, etc.). The devices and methods may involve guidewire assisted delivery of a device designed to both traverse a chronic total occlusion (CTO) and create a passageway through the CTO for a treatment device (e.g., an angioplasty balloon, stent, etc.). Some devices of the present invention may include an expandable sleeve constructed of material that expands in response to temperature changes. In other devices, an expandable sleeve may be provided in which two or more interlocking cylindrical sections can be arranged such that the cylindrical sections have a first, smaller diameter at which the expandable sleeve can be inserted through a CTO. The expandable sleeve also has a second, larger diameter that can be achieved by moving the two or more interlocking cylindrical sections relative to each other such that the expandable sleeve moves from the first diameter to the second diameter when the expandable sleeve is located across the CTO. In other aspects, a guide catheter may include a friction-enhanced outer surface to assist in maintaining the guide catheter in a selected location during use. The friction-enhanced property may be provided using, e.g., materials with an increased coefficient of friction, adding features to the surface of an otherwise smooth guide catheter, etc.

Conformable Stents And Methods For Making

US Patent:

2010033, Dec 30, 2010

Filed:

Feb 25, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/919122

Inventors:

Gurpreet S. Sandhu - Rochester MN, US
Dan Dragomir Daescu - Rochester MN, US
Charanjit S. Rihal - Rochester MN, US
Samuel J. Asirvatham - Rochester MN, US

International Classification:

A61M 25/10

US Classification:

604500

Abstract:

Materials and methods for making conformable stents. The stents can be generated by, for example, injecting a fluid into a scaffold on the outer surface of an angioplasty balloon inflated at the site of a stenosis, and allowing the fluid to harden or set, thus generating a stent that can remain in the vessel at the site of stenosis.

Device For The Delineation Of Cardiovascular Or Other Anatomical Structures

US Patent:

2012033, Dec 27, 2012

Filed:

Dec 3, 2010

Appl. No.:

13/514039

Inventors:

Paul Sorajja - Rochester MN, US
Charanjit S. Rihal - Rochester MN, US

International Classification:

A61B 6/00, A61B 5/055

US Classification:

600420, 600435, 600425

Abstract:

A method and device for delineating structures includes a catheter for insertion at the structure, an expandable component operatively having proximal, distal and intermediate segments shiftable between a collapsed state and an expanded state, with the intermediate segment shiftable independently of the proximal and distal segments. A marking medium is carried by a portion of the intermediate segment, and the marking medium detectable using a selected imaging device. The marking medium is arranged to be transferable from the intermediate segment to portions of the cardiovascular structure upon shifting the intermediate segment to the expanded position with the intermediate segment in the desired position.
