Delivery Of Biological Compounds To Ischemic And/Or Infarcted Tissue
US Patent:
2012022, Sep 6, 2012
Filed:
Feb 3, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/365914
Inventors:
Vahid SAADAT - Atherton CA, US
Sekhar S. RAO - Austin TX, US
Sekhar S. RAO - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
VOYAGE MEDICAL, INC. - Redwood City CA
International Classification:
A61B 6/00
US Classification:
600476
Abstract:
The delivery of biological compounds to ischemic and/or infarcted tissue are described herein where such a system may include a deployment catheter and an attached imaging hood deployable into an expanded configuration. In use, the imaging hood is placed against or adjacent to a region of tissue to be imaged in a body lumen that is normally filled with an opaque bodily fluid such as blood. A translucent or transparent fluid, such as saline, can be pumped into the imaging hood until the fluid displaces any blood, thereby leaving a clear region of tissue to be imaged via an imaging element in the deployment catheter. Additionally, any number of therapeutic tools can also be passed through the deployment catheter and into the imaging hood for performing any number of procedures on the tissue for identifying, locating, and/or accessing ischemic and/or infarcted tissue.
