Guidewire With An Intermediate Variable Stiffness Section
US Patent:
6524301, Feb 25, 2003
Filed:
Dec 21, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/748294
Inventors:
W. Stan Wilson - Missoula MT
Robert C. Esselstein - Fallbrook CA
Wayne E. Cornish - Fallbrook CA
Mark T. Richardson - Escondido CA

Assignee:
Advanced Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
A61M 2500
US Classification:
604523
Abstract:
The invention is directed to an guide wire for intraluminal deployment of a medical device within a patient, the guide wire having an elongate core member with an intermediate core section comprising a plurality of contiguous segments in alignment with the longitudinal axis of the core member with alternating flexible and rigid core segments, so that the articulated section bends in a discontinuous, discrete manner when advanced through a curved blood vessel or other body lumen within the patient. When an obstruction on a vessel wall causes the catheter or other coaxial device to be impeded, the guide wire and intermediate core section may alternately be advanced and retracted a short distance through the catheter distal tip causing a ânoddingâ motion of the catheter tip while the catheter is pushed through the vessel, so as to avoid and bypass the vessel obstruction.
Stent And Stent Delivery Assembly And Method Of Use
US Patent:
6599315, Jul 29, 2003
Filed:
Nov 20, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/991391
Inventors:
W. Stan Wilson - Missoula MT
Assignee:
Advanced Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
A61F 206
US Classification:
623 111, 606108
Abstract:
A stent delivery catheter assembly for delivering and implanting a stent at or near an area of septal perforators includes a torquing member which, in cooperation with a tracking guide wire and a positioning guide wire, facilitates torquing and rotation of the catheter and hence the position of the stent mounted thereon to accurately position and implant the stent at or near the area of septal perforators. The stent of the present invention has an elongated side aperture which is designed to be implanted next to the area of septal perforators to prevent covering of the orifices of the septal perforators.
Stent And Catheter Assembly And Method For Treating Bifurcations
US Patent:
6361544, Mar 26, 2002

Assignee:
Advanced Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
A61M 2900
US Classification:
606194, 6041011
Abstract:
An apparatus and method is provided for stenting bifurcated vessels. A proximal angled stent is configured for implanting in a side-branch vessel wherein the proximal angled stent has an angulated portion that corresponds to the angle formed by the intersection of the side-branch vessel and the main vessel so that all portions of the side-branch vessel at the bifurcation are covered by the proximal angled stent. A main-vessel stent is provided for implanting in the main vessel, wherein the main-vessel stent has an aperture or stent cell that aligns with the opening to the side-branch vessel to permit unobstructed blood flow between the main vessel and the side-branch vessel. Side-branch and main-vessel catheter assemblies are advanced over a pair of guide wires for delivering, appropriately orienting, and implanting the proximal angled stent and the apertured stent. In one embodiment, a stent delivery assembly is provided for implanting a Y-shaped stent in a bifurcated vessel. A dual balloon Y-shaped catheter is provided having two expandable members.
