Stent Delivery System And Method Of Use

View page
US Patent:
6409751, Jun 25, 2002
Filed:
Nov 14, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/710884
Inventors:
Todd A. Hall - Goshen KY
Greg R. Furnish - Louisville KY
Simon M. Furnish - Louisville KY
Scott J. Wolf - Minneapolis MN
Peter J. Wilk - New York NY
David Y. Phelps - Louisville KY
Vincent Pompili - Carmel IN
Assignee:
Percardia, Inc. - Nashua NH
International Classification:
A61F 206
US Classification:
623 111, 623124, 606108, 606194
Abstract:
Described herein are various methods and apparatuses for delivering stents and other devices into the myocardium of a patient. One preferred stent delivery system provides access to the insertion site in the myocardium by advancing a delivery catheter through a blockage in a coronary artery, or around the blockage through a coronary vein or through a channel or tunnel formed around the blockage. In one embodiment, once the distal end of the delivery catheter is adjacent the myocardium, an angled bend is created in the catheter by actuating expandable steering guides mounted to the catheter which cooperate with the walls of the blood vessel to cause the catheter to turn. Then, a guidewire is advanced through the delivery catheter and into the myocardium. In another embodiment, a tip-deflecting pull wire extends from the distal end of the delivery catheter which may be actuated to turn towards and then inserted into the myocardium. In another embodiment, an exit port facing the insertion site is provided within the catheter or a balloon mounted on the catheter so that a guidewire may be directed through a lumen and out the exit port into the myocardium.

International Classification:
A61B 600
US Classification:
600476, 600473, 600478, 600407
Abstract:
A catheter based optical system for generating data as to the condition of a tissue sample of a mammalian vessel. The system includes an elongated catheter shaft having a tissue engaging distal end and a coupled proximal end and an elongated optical delivery fiber arrangement disposed through a lumen of said catheter, said optical delivery fiber arrangement having a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end of the delivery fiber arrangement has a re-director light emitter thereon for directing light against mammalian tissues. An elongated optical collection fiber arrangement is disposed through a lumen of the catheter, the optical collection fiber arrangement having a distal end and a proximal most end. The distal end of the collection fiber arrangement has a re-director light receiver thereon for receiving light reflected from the mammalian tissue by the light emitter. The light emitter and the light receiver are longitudinally spaced apart from one another in the distal end of the catheter.

Assignee:
SciMed Life Systems - Maple Grove MN
International Classification:
A61F 206
US Classification:
623 116, 623 135
Abstract:
A bifurcated stent comprises a first stent section and a second stent section. Each stent section is expandable from a predeployed state to a deployed state independently from one another. The second stent section having an end engaged to a receiving region of the first stent section. In the deployed state the first stent section defines a primary flow path and the second stent section defines a secondary flow path in fluid communication with the first flow path. At least a portion of one or both the first stent section and second stent section is constructed from a wire member.

US Patent:
6706004, Mar 16, 2004
Filed:
May 31, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/871771
Inventors:
Guillermo J. Tearney - Cambridge MA
Brett E. Bouma - Quincy MA
S. Eric Ryan - Hopkinton MA
Simon Furnish - Louisville KY
Jing Tang - Allston MA
Andres Zuluaga - Boston MA
Assignee:
Infraredx, Inc. - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
A61B 5103
US Classification:
600587, 600473, 604 9901, 606194
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a feedback loop for controlling an extent of a gap between a wall of a balloon mounted on a catheter and a wall of a lumen into which the catheter is inserted. The apparatus includes a radiation detector mounted within the balloon for generating a feedback signal having information indicative of whether the extent of the gap is greater than or less than a desired value. The feedback loop receives the feedback signal and controls a size of the balloon to cause the extent of the gap to approach the desired value.
