Side-Exit Catheter And Method For Its Use

US Patent:
2003003, Feb 13, 2003
Filed:
Aug 10, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/927603
Inventors:
Robert Lederman - Chevy Chase MD, US
International Classification:
A61M031/00
US Classification:
604/507000, 607/120000, 607/123000, 604/164090
Abstract:
Disclosed is a device for delivering a therapeutic or diagnostic agent to an anatomic position, such as a heart. The device includes a flexible catheter having a proximal end and a distal end, a guide wire lumen that extends longitudinally through the catheter, and a delivery lumen that extends longitudinally at least partially through the catheter. The delivery lumen communicates with a side port adjacent a distal end of the catheter, through which side port a therapeutic or diagnostic agent may be delivered. The device also may include a guide wire, and the catheter may be advanced along the guide wire via the guide wire lumen. The device also may include a secondary catheter capable of sliding through the delivery lumen and capable of delivering a liquid, solid, or radiant agent to a desired anatomic location; thus, the secondary catheter may be considered a delivery catheter. The device may be used to deliver a therapeutic agent to a particular body location in a subject suffering a disease. In certain embodiments, the device may be used to deliver an ablative agent to the heart of a subject suffering hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Methods And Devices For Transcatheter Cerclage Annuloplasty

US Patent:
2013021, Aug 15, 2013
Filed:
Sep 15, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/824198
Inventors:
Robert J. Lederman - Chevy Chase MD, US
Ozgur Kocaturk - Rockville MD, US
Assignee:
The Government of the United of America, as Represented by the Secretary, Department of Health - Rockville MD
International Classification:
A61F 2/24
US Classification:
623 211, 623 237
Abstract:
Devices, apparatus, and methods for catheter-based repair of cardiac valves, including transcatheter-mitral-valve-cerclage annuloplasty and transcatheter-mitral-valve reapposition. In particular, a target and capture device is provided for guiding a cerclage traversal catheter system through a cerclage trajectory, particularly through a reentry site of the cerclage trajectory. The target and capture device provides the user with a target through which the cerclage traversal catheter system must be guided, particularly under imaging guidance, so as to properly traverse the cerclage trajectory at any desired location, particularly at a reentry site. The target and capture device can, further, ensnare and externalize the cerclage traversal catheter system.

Method And Device For Catheter Based Repair Of Cardiac Valves

US Patent:
2005021, Sep 29, 2005
Filed:
May 12, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/127112
Inventors:
Robert Lederman - Chevy Chase MD, US
International Classification:
A61F002/24, A61B017/04, A61B017/12
US Classification:
606144000, 623002100
Abstract:
Disclosed is a system and method for catheter-based repair of cardiac valves, including transcatheter-mitral-valve-cerclage annuloplasty and transcatheter-mitral-valve reapposition. An exemplary embodiment of the system includes: a guiding cathether; one or more secondary catheters, such as a valve-manipulation catheter and one or more optional suture-clip-pledget assemblies; and/or a canalization-needle catheter. Imaging methods and devices can be used to assist the operator of the system in determining the placement and orientation of the system within a subject's body. One exemplary imaging method is real-time magnetic-resonance imaging.

Interventional Devices For Chronic Total Occlusion Recanalization Under Mri Guidance

US Patent:
2006010, May 18, 2006
Filed:
May 18, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/131304
Inventors:
Parag Karmarkar - Columbia MD, US
Ergin Atalar - Columbia MD, US
Robert Lederman - Chevy Chase MD, US
Amish Raval - Middleton WI, US
Assignee:
THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY - Baltimore MD
International Classification:
A61B 5/05
US Classification:
600422000
Abstract:
Disclosed is a guide catheter that includes one or more RF antennas to enhance the visibility of the guide catheter in MR imagery. One embodiment of the guide catheter includes a loop coil at the distal end of the guide catheter and a loopless antenna between the distal end and the proximal end. By combining a loop coil and a loopless antenna on the catheter, the shaft of the catheter may be visible in MR imagery while the distal end may appear in the MR imagery more brightly than the shaft.

Variable Curve Catheter

US Patent:
7918819, Apr 5, 2011
Filed:
Nov 14, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/534362
Inventors:
Parag Karmarkar - Columbia MD, US
Robert J. Lederman - Chevy Chase MD, US
Assignee:
Health & Human Services - NIH - Bethesda MD
International Classification:
A61M 31/00
US Classification:
604 9501
Abstract:
Disclosed is a deflectable tip guiding device, such as a catheter, that enables a physician, or other health care personnel, to vary the radius of curvature of the tip of the device. In one embodiment, a guiding device includes an elongate body and a deflectable distal tip. An elongate stiffener tube is coupled to the body for longitudinal movement relative thereto and has a distal end spaced a variable distance from the distal end of the tip, thereby serving as a fulcrum for the tip. Longitudinal movement of the stiffener tube relative to the body varies the distance between the distal ends of the tip and tube, which in turn causes a corresponding increase or decrease in the radius of curvature of the tip.
