Delivery system for long self-expanding stents

The initial deployment of a self-expanding stent is performed by the physician manually retracting the sheath of a delivery system. This provides the physician with complete control of the initial deployment of the stent. Further, once the stent is securely engaged within the parent vessel, the remaining deployment over the remaining length of the stent is performed automatically by retraction of the sheath by a spring. Since the physician simply initiates the deployment of the stent, the deployment is readily performed using only a single hand of the physician.

Method for lung lesion location identification

A method and a system are disclosed for labeling an anatomical point associated with a lesion in an organ such as a lung. The method includes: a segmentation of a vessel tree anatomical structure starting from an autonomously determined initial image point; labeling the vessel segments of the vessel tree segmentation with segment labels based on a priori anatomical knowledge, thereby creating an individualized anatomical model; receiving a user-specified image point having a location from a user and locating a nearby vessel structure; tracking along the vessel structure in a direction towards a root of a parent vessel tree until a prior labeled vessel segment is encountered in the anatomical model, and assigning the label of the encountered prior labeled vessel segment from the anatomical model as an anatomical location label of the user-specified image point.

Expandable curvilinear strut arrangement for deployment with a catheter to repair an aneurysm

InactiveUSRE42758E1Reduce riskInhibit migrationDilatorsOcculdersRepair aneurysmAlloy
The vasoocclusive apparatus can be used in a method of interventional therapy and vascular surgery by inserting the apparatus into a portion of a vasculature, for treatment of a body vessel such as an aneurysm in conjunction with a secondary vasoocclusive device to be placed within the vessel. The vasoocclusiveVasooclusive apparatus includes a plurality of strut members connected together at a central hub that extend from a collapsed position to an expanded configuration to cross the neck of the aneurysm, dividing the neck into smaller openings, allowing the deployment of the secondary vasoocclusive device within the aneurysm but preventing migration of the secondary vasoocclusive device from the aneurysm. The strut members can be made from a twisted cable of strands of a superelastic material, such as a shape memory nickel titanium alloy, with at least one radiopaque strand. A shape memory collar is provided for detachably mounting the vasoocclusive apparatus to a pusher member and for detaching the vasoocclusive apparatus for deployment when a desired placement within an aneurysm to be treated and out of a parent vessel is achieved.

Method for creating perfusable microvessel systems

Microvessel networks are produced in vitro from tissue-engineered parent vessels sprouting into a supporting matrix, as for example gels, of extracellular matrix proteins. The microvessel systems are integrated into devices that allow for controlled perfusion with fluids. The vessels may include cells from one cell type, for example, endothelial cells, or from combinations of two or more cell types.

Aneurysm treatment system, device and method

An occlusion system, method, and apparatus which treats an aneurysm in a primary vessel such as an intracranial vessel. Aneurysm types treatable by means of this invention include bulge (sometimes referred to as a true aneurysm), dissecting aneurysms in which the layers of vessel wall are partially delaminated, and what are referred to a “false” aneurysm defined by a relatively small opening in the parent vessel wall fluridically coupled to a bulb-shaped sac, also defined by the vessel wall. The system includes an occlusion device configured for deployment in the parent vessel that restricts fluid flow to the aneurysm. A patch on the device covers the neck of the aneurysm. The system includes a marker in a defined relationship with the patch, which allows for axial and rotational positioning of the device.

Systems and methods for enclosing an anatomical opening

Implantable therapeutic devices and methods for endovascular placement of devices at a target site, such an opening at a neck of an aneurysm, are disclosed. Selected embodiments of the present technology have closures (102) that at least partially occlude the neck of an aneurysm to stabilize embolic or coagulative treatment of the aneurysm. In one embodiment, for example, an aneurysm closure device comprises a closure structure (102) and a supplemental stabilizer (103). The closure structure can have a curved portion configured to extend along a first vessel, such as a side branch of a bifurcated vessel that extends along a lateral axis (T). The supplemental stabilizer extends from the closure structure along a longitudinal axis (L) transverse to the lateral axis of the first vessel. The supplemental stabilizer is configured to exert an outward force against a second vessel, such as a parent vessel, that extends transversely to the first vessel.

Surgical apparatus for aneurysms

The present application discloses a surgical apparatus for aneurysms comprising: a stent, a delivery guide wire, an introducer sheath and a microcatheter, wherein: the stent is a self-expanding stent; the delivery guide wire outside of which the stent is restrained to is provided in a lumen of the introducer sheath; the introducer sheather is connected with the microcatheter, with lumnes communicating, to form a passageway through which the delivery guide wire and the stent are delivered into a human body. The surgical apparatus for aneurysms provided in the examples of the present application is able to deliver and release the stent which has high density and is super soft to a vascular lesion. A lattice structure of the stent is of high coverage at the vascular lesion such that the stent released into the vessel prodeces the same effects as healing of parent vessel, and thus improves the treatment of vascular aneurysms.

Method for Creating Perfusable Microvessel Systems

A method for creating networks of perfusable microvessels in vitro. A mandrel is drawn through a matrix to form a channel through the matrix. Cells are injected into the channel. The matrix is incubated to allow the cells to attach inside the channel. The channel is perfused to remove unattached cells to create a parent vessel, where the parent vessel includes a perfusable hollow channel lined with cells in the matrix. The parent vessel is induced to create sprouts into the surrounding matrix gel so as to form a microvessel network. The microvessel network is subjected to luminal perfusion through the parent vessel.

Isolation of aneurysm and parent vessel in volumetric image data

A framework for isolating an aneurysm and parent vessel in volumetric image data is provided herein. In accordance with one aspect, the framework generates a refined mask by performing region growingstarting at an aneurysm dome point to eliminate vessels that are indirectly connected to an aneurysm or parent vessel in volumetric image data. A final mask may be generated based at least in part onthe refined mask by eliminating any kissing vessel connected with the aneurysm from the refined mask. The final mask may then be used for segmentation of the aneurysm and the parent vessel in the volumetric image data.
