Guide Or Diagnostic Catheter For Right Coronary Artery
US Patent:
6595983, Jul 22, 2003
Filed:
Dec 7, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/732059
Inventors:
Jan K. Voda - Oklahoma City OK 73116
International Classification:
A61M 2500
US Classification:
604530, 604523
Abstract:
A torqueable, three-dimensionally preformed guide or diagnostic catheter to selectively engage the ostium of a right coronary artery in a human includes: a torque-transmitting proximal shaft that receives manipulation by a user outside a human body in which the catheter is used; and a distal shaft that is responsive to torque transmitted by the proximal shaft. The distal shaft includes a preformed support section having at least a segment that abuts a posterior interior surface of the ascending aorta of the human body. The distal shaft also includes a preformed ostium entry section extending from the support section. In one implementation, the ostium entry section transitions from the support segment abutting the aortic wall to a distal tip end by way of at least two angles which provide smoother transition than a single sharp angle.
Preformed Coronary Artery Guide Catheter
US Patent:
6558368, May 6, 2003
Filed:
Jul 20, 2000
Appl. No.:

Inventors:
Jan Voda - Oklahoma City OK 73116
International Classification:
A61M 2500
US Classification:
604532, 604525
Abstract:
A catheter having an elongate body including a central lumen adapted to slidably receive a therapeutic catheter. The catheter includes a soft tip adapted to lodge in the ostium of the right coronary artery. The elongate body is formed near the distal end to impinge against the wall of the aorta opposite the ostium of the coronary artery.

Angioplasty Guide Catheter
US Patent:
5445625, Aug 29, 1995
Filed:
Jun 14, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/259567
Inventors:
Jan Voda - Oklahoma City OK
International Classification:
A61M 2500
US Classification:
604281
Abstract:
An angioplasty guide catheter adapted for use within a cardiovascular system and cooperable with a left main coronary artery. The guide catheter has a distal end portion such that with a distal tip of the distal end portion coaxially intubated within an ostium of the left main coronary artery fully disposed within the cardiovascular system, a portion of the distal end portion rests against and is substantially contiguous with a wall of the ascending aorta. A distal end of the resting portion is substantially directly opposite the ostium of the left main coronary artery and a portion of the distal end portion defines a generally rectilinear axis of support extending from the distal end of the resting portion across the ascending aorta to the ostium of the left main coronary artery.

Filed:
May 19, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/246552
Inventors:
Jan Voda - Oklahoma City OK
International Classification:
A61M 2514
US Classification:
604281
Abstract:
A catheter for insertion into an artery of a cardiovascular system including a first straight portion extending from the proximal end of the catheter for a distance greater than the length of the artery and a distal end portion extending from the straight portion and bent in a unique manner to enable the distal end to be precisely located relative to the artery.
Steerable Catheter For Right Coronary Artery
US Patent:
7867218, Jan 11, 2011
Filed:
Feb 24, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/786893
Inventors:
Jan K. Voda - Oklahoma City OK, US
Assignee:
Voda Heart Technology, LLC - Oklahoma City OK
International Classification:
A61M 25/00, A61M 5/00
US Classification:
604532, 604530, 604264
Abstract:
A steerable three dimensional catheter to engage the ostium of a right coronary artery in a patient includes: a torque-transmitting proximal shaft that receives manipulation by a user outside a patient in whom the catheter is used; and a distal shaft that is responsive to torque transmitted by the proximal shaft. The distal shaft includes a preformed support section having at least a segment that abuts a posterior or left lateral interior surface of the ascending aorta of the patient. The distal shaft also includes a preformed ostium entry section extending from the support section. In one implementation, the ostium entry section transitions from the support segment abutting the aortic wall to a distal tip end by way of at least two differently directed angles.
Vascular Sheath
US Patent:
5354271, Oct 11, 1994
Filed:
Aug 5, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/102420
Inventors:
Jan K. Voda - Oklahoma City OK
International Classification:
A61M 3100, A61M 2900
US Classification:
604 49
Abstract:
A vascular sheath apparatus is used for placement of a medical device through a perforation in a side wall of a patient's blood vessel. An elongated cylindrical sheath has a distal end portion constructed to be received through the blood vessel. An annular expandable sealing device is disposed about the sheath and expandable radially outward beyond the outer surface of the sheath. The sealing device preferably lies generally in a plane oriented at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis of the sheath. A clamp is slidably disposed on the sheath proximally of the sealing device and can slide toward the sealing device so as to sandwich the vessel wall and overlying tissue between the clamp and the expanded sealing device. The sealing device may be either an inflatable balloon or an accordion fold. Other features include the particular geometry of the clamp which makes it especially suited for use in clamping a sheath in place in the femoral artery.
