AI Technical Summary
Existing intracorporeal devices face challenges in securing themselves within blood vessels without obstructing blood flow or causing vessel damage, particularly in thin and compliant vessels like the pulmonary artery, and existing technologies have not adequately addressed the need for devices and methods for fixing intravascular devices in a safe, simple, and predictable manner.
A delivery system with a delivery shaft and sheath that includes a guidewire lumen, a pressure sensor, and anchoring structures such as wire loops, radial wire arrays, and daisy petal structures, which minimize vessel obstruction and secure the device through interference fit or lodging at vessel furcations.
The system effectively secures intracorporeal devices in vessels with minimal flow disruption, ensuring stable positioning and preventing migration, while allowing for easy deployment and fixation without causing vessel damage.
