Pacing, Sensing Or Defibrillator Leads For Implantation Into The Myocardium

US Patent:
2012024, Sep 27, 2012
Filed:
Sep 2, 2010
Appl. No.:
13/393521
Inventors:
Paul A. Friedman - Rochester MN, US
Charles J. Bruce - Rochester MN, US
Samuel J. Asirvatham - Rochester MN, US
Assignee:
MAYO FOUNDATIONFOR MEDICAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH - Rochester MN
International Classification:
A61N 1/05
US Classification:
607127, 607122
Abstract:
An electrical lead for a cardiac device includes a body having a distal end sized for insertion through a catheter, first and second electrodes extending through the body, with each electrode terminating in a tip having proximal and distal ends and arranged to extend to an area of cardiac tissue. The tips include a fully insulated portion on the proximal and distal ends measuring in a range between 5 percent and 40 percent of the lengths of the tips, and further include an uninsulated intermediate section. The tip of the second electrode includes a helical section surrounding the first electrode and has an insulated portion on an inwardly facing portion surface facing toward the first electrode. The tip of the second electrode also includes a fully insulated portion on the proximal and distal ends measuring in the same or similar percentage range.

2008029, Nov 27, 2008
Filed:
Jun 2, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/131756
Inventors:
Paul A. Friedman - Rochester MN, US
Charles J. Bruce - Rochester MN, US
Samuel J. Asirvatham - Rochester MN, US
International Classification:
A61N 1/05
US Classification:

Enhanced Signal Navigation And Capture Systems And Methods

US Patent:
2012032, Dec 27, 2012
Filed:
Sep 30, 2010
Appl. No.:
13/499431
Inventors:
Paul A. Friedman - Rochester MN, US
Charles J. Bruce - Rochester MN, US
Samuel J. Asirvatham - Rochester MN, US
Trevor A. McCaw - Vancouver, CA
Elliot Y.K. Hong - Vancouver, CA
Assignee:
Aegis Medical Innovations Inc. - Vancouver, BC
Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research - Rochester MN
International Classification:
H04N 7/18
US Classification:
348 65, 348E07085
Abstract:
Navigation and tissue capture systems and methods for navigation to and/or capture of selected tissue using the innate electrical activity of the selected tissue and/or other tissue are described. In the context of left atrial appendage closure, the systems and methods can be used to navigate to the left atrial appendage and capture/control the appendage while a closure instrument (suture, clip, ring) is placed over the appendage and tightened down or a closure method (ablation, cryogenic procedures, stapling, etc.) is performed to close the left atrial appendage. The use of innate electrical activity for navigating devices may be used in connection with other tissues and/or areas of the body.

Detecting And Treating Nervous System Disorders

US Patent:
8204600, Jun 19, 2012
Filed:
Nov 21, 2006
Appl. No.:
12/094704
Inventors:
Samuel J. Asirvatham - Rochester MN, US
Paul A. Friedman - Rochester MN, US
Charles J. Bruce - Rochester MN, US
Assignee:
Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research - Rochester MN
International Classification:
A61N 1/05
US Classification:
607 45, 600544, 606 61
Abstract:
Some embodiments of a mapping device may be capable of passing through cerebral veins and other cerebrovascular spaces to provide electrophysiological mapping of the brain. These embodiments of the device may also be capable of providing, simultaneously or separately, ablation energy or other treatments to targeted brain tissue. In such circumstances, a user may be enabled to analyze an electrophysiological map of a patient's brain and, at the same time or within a short time period before or after the mapping process, may be enabled to apply ablation energy for treatment of a central nervous system disorder. Such treatment may be accomplished without the use of invasive surgery in which the brain is accessed through an opening in the patient's cranium.

Devices And Methods For Reducing Cardiac Valve Regurgitation

US Patent:
7854762, Dec 21, 2010
Filed:
May 22, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/920670
Inventors:
Giovanni Speziali - Pittsburgh PA, US
Charles Bruce - Rochester MN, US
Assignee:
Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research - Rochester MN
International Classification:
A61F 2/24
US Classification:
623 211
Abstract:
Devices and methods that may be used to reduce valve regurgitation are disclosed by locating a body across the regurgitant valve. When the valve closes, the body obliterates/ameliorates the regurgitant orifice in the valve, thereby reducing or preventing valve regurgitation. The body may be expandable. The devices may be implantable such that they can remain in place within a subject for extended periods of time.

Implantable Closure Apparatus And Methods

US Patent:
2009021, Aug 27, 2009
Filed:
Sep 19, 2006
Appl. No.:
12/067373
Inventors:
Paul A. Friedman - Rochester MN, US
Samuel J. Asirvatham - Rochester MN, US
Charles J. Bruce - Rochester MN, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/08
US Classification:
606213
Abstract:
Implantable closure apparatus and methods for sealing or closing openings at internal body locations. The apparatus and methods may involve the delivery and attachment of a patch, patch and plug, or plug only to seal or close the opening. The closure apparatus and methods may be used to close a patent foramen ovale (PFO).
