Photoacoustic Removal Of Occlusions From Blood Vessels

View page
US Patent:
6428531, Aug 6, 2002
Filed:
Jun 27, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/604454
Inventors:
Steven R. Visuri - Livermore CA
Luiz B. Da Silva - Danville CA
Peter M. Celliers - Berkeley CA
Richard A. London - Orinda CA
Victor C. Esch - San Francisco CA
Assignee:
The Regents of the University of California - Oakland CA
Endovasix, Inc. - Belmont CA
International Classification:
A61B 1818
US Classification:
606 7, 606 15, 606 22, 607 89, 128898
Abstract:
Partial or total occlusions of fluid passages within the human body are removed by positioning an array of optical fibers in the passage and directing treatment radiation pulses along the fibers, one at a time, to generate a shock wave and hydrodynamics flows that strike and emulsify the occlusions. A preferred application is the removal of blood clots (thrombin and embolic) from small cerebral vessels to reverse the effects of an ischemic stroke. The operating parameters and techniques are chosen to minimize the amount of heating of the fragile cerebral vessel walls occurring during this photo acoustic treatment. One such technique is the optical monitoring of the existence of hydrodynamics flow generating vapor bubbles when they are expected to occur and stopping the heat generating pulses propagated along an optical fiber that is not generating such bubbles.

Optically Generated Ultrasound For Enhanced Drug Delivery

View page
US Patent:
6484052, Nov 19, 2002
Filed:
Mar 30, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/281371
Inventors:
Steven R. Visuri - Livermore CA
Heather L. Campbell - Baltimore MD
Luiz Da Silva - Danville CA
Assignee:
The Regents of the University of California - Oakland CA
International Classification:
A61N 130
US Classification:
604 20, 606 15
Abstract:
High frequency acoustic waves, analogous to ultrasound, can enhance the delivery of therapeutic compounds into cells. The compounds delivered may be chemotherapeutic drugs, antibiotics, photodynamic drugs or gene therapies. The therapeutic compounds are administered systemically, or preferably locally to the targeted site. Local delivery can be accomplished through a needle, cannula, or through a variety of vascular catheters, depending on the location of routes of access. To enhance the systemic or local delivery of the therapeutic compounds, high frequency acoustic waves are generated locally near the target site, and preferably near the site of compound administration. The acoustic waves are produced via laser radiation interaction with an absorbing media and can be produced via thermoelastic expansion, thermodynamic vaporization, material ablation, or plasma formation. Acoustic waves have the effect of temporarily permeabilizing the membranes of local cells, increasing the diffusion of the therapeutic compound into the cells, allowing for decreased total body dosages, decreased side effects, and enabling new therapies.

Laser And Acoustic Lens For Lithotripsy

View page
US Patent:
6491685, Dec 10, 2002
Filed:
Mar 1, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/516999
Inventors:
Steven R. Visuri - Livermore CA
Anthony J. Makarewicz - San Ramon CA
Richard A. London - Orinda CA
William J. Benett - Livermore CA
Peter Krulevitch - Pleasanton CA
Luiz B. Da Silva - Pleasanton CA
Assignee:
The Regents of the University of California - Oakland CA
International Classification:
A61B 1722
US Classification:
606 25, 606128
Abstract:
An acoustic focusing device whose acoustic waves are generated by laser radiation through an optical fiber. The acoustic energy is capable of efficient destruction of renal and biliary calculi and deliverable to the site of the calculi via an endoscopic procedure. The device includes a transducer tip attached to the distal end of an optical fiber through which laser energy is directed. The transducer tip encapsulates an exogenous absorbing dye. Under proper irradiation conditions (high absorbed energy density, short pulse duration) a stress wave is produced via thermoelastic expansion of the absorber for the destruction of the calculi. The transducer tip can be configured into an acoustic lens such that the transmitted acoustic wave is shaped or focused. Also, compressive stress waves can be reflected off a high density/low density interface to invert the compressive wave into a tensile stress wave, and tensile stresses may be more effective in some instances in disrupting material as most materials are weaker in tension than compression. Estimations indicate that stress amplitudes provided by this device can be magnified more than 100 times, greatly improving the efficiency of optical energy for targeted material destruction.

Bubble Diagnostics

View page
US Patent:
6538739, Mar 25, 2003
Filed:
Sep 30, 1997
Appl. No.:
08/941015
Inventors:
Steven R. Visuri - Livermore CA
Beth M. Mammini - Walnut Creek CA
Luiz B. Da Silva - Danville CA
Peter M. Celliers - Berkeley CA
Assignee:
The Regents of the University of California - Oakland CA
International Classification:
G01B 1100
US Classification:
356394, 356388, 356372
Abstract:
The present invention is intended as a means of diagnosing the presence of a gas bubble and incorporating the information into a feedback system for opto-acoustic thrombolysis. In opto-acoustic thrombolysis, pulsed laser radiation at ultrasonic frequencies is delivered intraluminally down an optical fiber and directed toward a thrombus or otherwise occluded vessel. Dissolution of the occlusion is therefore mediated through ultrasonic action of propagating pressure or shock waves. A vapor bubble in the fluid surrounding the occlusion may form as a result of laser irradiation. This vapor bubble may be used to directly disrupt the occlusion or as a means of producing a pressure wave. It is desirable to detect the formation and follow the lifetime of the vapor bubble. Knowledge of the bubble formation and lifetime yields critical information as to the maximum size of the bubble, density of the absorbed radiation, and properties of the absorbing material. This information can then be used in a feedback system to alter the irradiation conditions.

Liposuction Cannula Device And Method

View page
US Patent:
6638238, Oct 28, 2003
Filed:
Dec 9, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/458134
Inventors:
Paul J. Weber - Ft. Lauderdale FL
Steven R. Visuri - Livermore CA
Matthew J. Everett - Livermore CA
Luiz B. Da Silva - Pleasanton CA
Alwin H. Kolster - Anaheim CA
Assignee:
The Regents of the University of California - Oakland CA
International Classification:
A61B 1720
US Classification:
604 22, 604902, 606171
Abstract:
A liposuction apparatus and method optionally having a sonic or ultrasonic source with an axial lumen passage in which the shaft can be made to reciprocate (oscillate) in a non-rectilinear fashion. The apparatus may also contain the concomitant use of rectilinear reciprocation motion in addition to ultrasonic motion or energy along the shaft of the apparatus. The advantages of the liposuction apparatus are as follows: 1) non-rectilinear single shaft reciprocating cannula, 2) sonic or ultrasonic energy delivered to the distal tip, 3) rectilinear reciprocating cannula with ultrasonic energy along the shaft from the handle, and 4) any of the above reciprocating components powered by excess unused vacuum capacity in the liposuction aspirator (suction engine) apparatus. There are three (3) primary sources of energy applied to the cannula shaft: the first is the oscillating surgeons arm motion (approximately 1-2 hertz); the reciprocating motion (of about 100 Hz); and the optional concomitant motion as delivered by the ultrasonic energy (e. g. 25 KHz).
