Implantable Device For Treating Atrial Fibrillation And Method Of Using Same
US Patent:
6965798, Nov 15, 2005
Filed:
Dec 13, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/318298
Inventors:
Young D. Kim - McLean VA, US
International Classification:
A61N001/00
US Classification:
607120, 607129, 607 3
Abstract:
A device for treating atrial fibrillation includes a pad which houses the distal end of an electrode which is adapted to deliver a substantially uniform shock gradient to an atrial surface of a postoperative cardiac patient, if atrial fibrillation is detected. The device also includes a catheter for delivering anti-arrhythmic and/or anesthetic drugs to the pad. After a treatment period, the device may be removed by pulling the electrode and the pad, if the pad is not bioabsorbable, into the catheter and then pulling the catheter through the patient's chest wall.
External Electromagnetic System For Assisting Systolic And Diastolic Ventricular Function, And Method Therefor
US Patent:
6604529, Aug 12, 2003
Filed:
Jun 14, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/170625
Inventors:
Young D. Kim - McLean VA 22102
International Classification:
A61M 112
US Classification:
128899, 600 17, 600 16
Abstract:
A method of aiding the compression and relaxation of a heart chamber using ferromagnetic and diamagnetic pellets inserted into the anterior and posterior walls of the chamber is provided. The pellets are inserted into the myocardial walls of the heart chamber by means of a delivery catheter. Electromagnetic fields, which are used to push and pull the pellets to compress and relax the hear chamber, are cyclically generated by electromagnetic field generators positioned on a patients chest and back wall.
Magnetic Pellets And External Electromagnetic Device For Assisting Left Ventricular Contraction, Method Of Pellet Insertion, And Method Of Ventricular Electromagnetic Assistance
US Patent:
2004017, Sep 9, 2004
Filed:
Apr 26, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/475563
Inventors:
Young Kim - McLean VA, US
International Classification:
A61M001/12
US Classification:
128/899000, 600/017000
Abstract:
A magnetic pellet for use in treating a patient's congestive heart includes a contact portion and a plurality of wings. Each wing has a distal end portion hingedly connected to the contact portion and a proximal end portion. The proximal end portions bend toward each other when an electromagnetic field is applied to the pellet. A method of inserting the pellets into a myocardial wall of a heart includes supplying an electromagnetic field to the pellet attached to a distal end of an electromagnetic rod positioned within a delivery catheter, positioning the magnetic pellet at a target area on the myocardial wall; using an injection syringe, positioned at a proximal end of the catheter, to force the pellet into the myocardial wall; and removing the electromagnetic field previously supplied to the pellet and thereby causing the spring-wings to open.
Method And Apparatus For Percutaneous Trans-Endocardial Reperfusion
US Patent:
2002002, Mar 7, 2002
Filed:
Sep 6, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/946928
Inventors:
Young Kim - McLean VA, US
International Classification:
A61B018/18
US Classification:
606/041000
Abstract:
A percutaneous trans-endocardial reperfusion catheter, and a method of using the same, is provided for the treatment of acute myocardial ischemia. The catheter includes a compressive, ferromagnetic, and electrically conductive tip which is used with an external magnetic device to anchor the catheter tip in a desired position. Needles are movably mounted within the catheter to extend through exit ports formed therein near the catheter's distal end. When extended, the needles protrude beyond the ferromagnetic tip. With the ferromagnetic tip anchored in the myocardium, the needles may be extended to penetrate the tissue to form channels. One or more of the needles may have a hollow channel and holes formed therein for the delivery of drugs, blood, or other fluids directly into the tissue in which the needle is imbedded. An electrode positioned at the catheter tip may be used to detect electrical signals and to provide electrical therapy.
