Method And System For Plicating Tissue In A Minimally Invasive Medical Procedure For The Treatment Of Mitral Valve Regurgitation
US Patent:
8226709, Jul 24, 2012

International Classification:
A61F 2/24, A61B 17/10
US Classification:
623 211, 606139, 606142
Abstract:
A system and method for the treatment of mitral valve regurgitation by reshaping the mitral valve annulus using one or more plications of annular or adjacent tissue each fixed by a retainer is described. The system includes four devices to achieve such percutaneous direct plication annuloplasty. The first is a crossing catheter having a prolapseable or curved tip. Second, a deflecting guide catheter is used to provide a means for guiding the plication device into proper position at the subvalvular region of the mitral valve annulus. Third, the plication device is then used to make plications in the subvalvular region of the mitral valve annulus. Fourth, a “C” shaped retainer with deformable ends is deployed by the plication device in order to retain the plicated tissue in the plicated form. A transseptal approach may be used to plicate and retain tissue on the atrial side of the mitral valve to achieve a reduction in mitral valve regurgitation.

International Classification:
A61B 1/32
US Classification:
600210, 600215
Abstract:
Methods and devices are provided for providing access through tissue to a surgical site. Generally, the methods and devices allow adjustment of a surgical access port's longitudinal length. In one embodiment, a surgical access port is provided that includes a housing having a cannula distally extending therefrom. The housing can be configured to cut a proximal portion of the cannula to adjust a longitudinal length of the cannula and hence of the surgical access port. In another embodiment, a surgical access port is provided that includes a cannula formed of a plurality of modular segments removably coupled together. One or more of the segments can be configured to be removable from the cannula to change the cannula's longitudinal length.

Filed:
Feb 29, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/039937

International Classification:
A61F 2/06
US Classification:
623 113
Abstract:
An aneurysmal repair system that utilizes a modified intraluminal scaffold apex and a delta stitch suture to secure graft material to the scaffold structure allows for no relative movement between the graft material and the scaffold structure. The absence of relative movement reduces the wear on the graft material.
Methods And Devices For Accessing A Body Cavity

Assignee:

International Classification:
A61B 1/32
US Classification:
600203
Abstract:
Methods and devices are provided for accessing a surgical site. In one embodiment, an access device is provided having a housing and a cannula extending distally therefrom. The cannula and the housing can define a working channel extending longitudinally therethrough. The cannula can be movable between an insertion configuration and a deployed configuration. The access device can also include an obturator insertable through the working channel. In one embodiment, the obturator can be configured to selectively mate with the cannula such that rotation of the obturator is effective to cause corresponding rotation of the cannula. In another embodiment, the obturator can be configured to move the cannula from the insertion configuration to the deployed configuration when the obturator is fully disposed within the cannula.
Intravascular Stent Having Imrproved Design For Loading And Deploying
US Patent:
2010005, Mar 4, 2010
Filed:
Aug 26, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/198150
Inventors:
Salvatore G. Caldarise - Belle Mead NJ, US
David C. Majercak - Stewartsville NJ, US
David C. Majercak - Stewartsville NJ, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/06
US Classification:
623 115
Abstract:
A stent may be inserted into a vessel in order to open and then maintain the patency of the vessel. The stent has a strut design that increases the overall fatigue resistance of the stent. Each strut is tapered to better distribute strain and thus increase fatigue resistance. In addition, some of the struts may comprise protrusions to increase the pushability of the stent during loading into a delivery device.
Bare Metal Stent With Drug Eluting Reservoirs Having Improved Drug Retention
US Patent:
2012010, May 3, 2012

Carl J. Evens - Branchburg NJ, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/82, B23P 17/00
US Classification:
623 142, 295271
Abstract:
Implantable medical devices may be utilized to locally delivery one or more drugs or therapeutic agents to treat a wide variety of conditions, including the treatment of the biological organism's reaction to the introduction of the implantable medical device. These therapeutic agents may be released under controlled and directional conditions from a stent having reservoirs so that the one or more therapeutic agents reach the correct target area, for example, the surrounding tissue. Features may be incorporated into the walls and bases of these reservoirs to improve securement of the drug construct.
