Embodiment Construction

[0068] The present invention provides a mobile agent (agent, agent, agent) based system and method for scanning and cleaning of blood vessels such as coronary arteries, peripheral arteries or any other body blood vessels. The system consists of a micromachined guidewire (catheter) device that is electronically controlled to perform a vessel wall cleaning procedure by removing built-up plaque or any completely occlusive material. This plaque or other type of blockage can lead to atherosclerosis and may eventually lead to blocked arteries, which can lead to heart disease, heart attack, or stroke. During initial setup, the system is inserted into the body and guided within the body's blood vessels. Based on a laser-acoustic sensor in wired or wireless communication with the imaging system, the system finds areas of blockage and uses its cleaning system to remove the blockage without damaging the tissue of the vessel. The guidewire travels and searches for blockages within the ve...

Abstract

A vascular guide wire device comprising: a guide wire comprising a guide wire head and a laser-acoustic head sensor configured to navigate in a patient's blood vessel, said laser-acoustic head sensorconnected via an optic fiber threaded through said guide wire device with a laser-acoustic diode controlled by a laser-acoustic diode controller; a computerized system electronically communicating with said laser-acoustic head sensor, said computerized system comprising a computer, image processing means and display means and configured to provide images and measurements 2- centimeters ahead inside a patient's arteries occlusions therein purposing to move and navigate safely into the right artery lumen; first steering means connected with said guide wire head and configured to navigate said laser-acoustic head sensor according to said image processing results; and opening means connected with said guide wire head for opening total occlusion of said artery.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of vascular occlusion and therapy. More specifically, the present invention relates to an apparatus for safely navigating, cleaning and traversing total occlusions in arteries. [0002] Cross references to related patent applications [0003] This patent application claims priority to and is related to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 470,908, filed March 14, 2017, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0004] Heart disease, specifically coronary artery disease (CAD), is a leading cause of death, disability, and medical expenditure. Until recently, most heart disease was thought to be primarily the result of a progressive buildup of hardened plaque in the coronary arteries. The atherosclerotic disease process of this hardened plaque results in severe narrowing (stenosis) of the affected coronary artery and produces the angina syndrome com...
