DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR BLOOD FLOW CONTROL

Methods for performing endovascular procedures are described herein. The methods may comprise advancing an expandable member of a blood flow control device to a target location in a blood vessel of a patient, and rotating a circular gear positioned at least partially within a housing of a controller via the controller communicably coupled to the blood flow control device. Rotating the circular gear may translate a linear gear of a syringe pump fluidly coupled to the expandable member thereby adjusting a volume of the expandable member. Various blood flow control devices, control systems, and fluid delivery systems are also described herein. The fluid delivery systems may include a pump configured for manual or automated delivery of fluids, or configured to switch between automated and manual modes of delivery. The pump may be a syringe pump that utilizes a rack and pinion system, a motor, and a sensor to track the position and/or movement of a component of the syringe pump during fluid transfer. Alternatively, the pump may be a pressure differential pump that includes a flow restrictor and a pressure sensor that controls delivery of fluid from a fluid reservoir. Systems and methods including the syringe and pressure differential pumps are also described.

System and method for ultrasonic bladder therapeutic agent delivery

A catheter for ultrasonic-driven bladder therapeutic agent delivery, including: a tube having a proximal expandable portion and a distal end, and at least one transducer sleeve accommodating at least one ultrasound transducer mounted on the tube between the proximal expandable portion and the distal end.

Balloon catheter flow device

Disclosed is an inter- and intra-catheter flow device for the management of vascular bleeding disorders that provide a liquid flow-pass between proximal and distal balloons for bridging the circulation between the upper and lower segments of a hemorrhaging artery or blood vessel, while blocking the blood flow to the hemorrhaging middle segment(s) of the artery or blood vessel between the two or more balloons. When only one balloon is inflated, these devices can create a pressure gradient between proximal or distal and middle segments of the artery or blood vessel. These devices are useful for controlling proximal artery blood pressure, preventing distal ischemia-reperfusion injury, identifying the bleeding location, controlling the bleeding, repairing and remodeling vascular structures, extending resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) use duration, and performing fluid resuscitation.

Methods and devices for transcervical treatment of endometrial cancer and hyperplasia

An infusion catheter includes a housing, a proximal shaft assembly, a first distal shaft assembly and a second distal shaft assembly. The housing has one or more inflation ports and one or more infusion ports. The proximal shaft assembly supports a first balloon. The first distal shaft assembly extends distally from the proximal shaft assembly and supports a first distal balloon. The second distal shaft assembly extends distally from the proximal shaft assembly and supports a second distal balloon. The first and second distal shaft assemblies define infusion openings in fluid communication with the one or more infusion ports. The infusion catheter may be inserted into a uterine cavity to occlude tubal ostia and an internal cervical OS of the uterine cavity for sealing the uterine cavity. A therapeutic agent may be delivered through the infusion catheter and into the sealed uterine cavity to treat the uterine cavity.

CANNULA FOR APICAL CANNULATION

Cannulas for apical cannulation and methods of making and using the same are provided. The cannula includes a first elongated body defining a primary lumen, a second elongated body defining a first secondary lumen, a third elongated body defining a second secondary lumen, and a fourth elongated body defining a third secondary lumen. The primary lumen is configured to allow blood to flow therethrough. The first secondary lumen is configured to inflate an inflatable body, which is configured to engage an aortal wall proximate the aortic valve of the patient's heart to define a treatment space. The second secondary lumen is configured to selectively remove blood from the treatment space or introduce a cardioplegic solution into the treatment space. The third secondary lumen is configured to administer active decompression of the left ventricle of the patient's heart via suction.

Intravascular blood pump with balloon

An intravascular blood pump (1) comprises a ring seal (10) that is configured to assume a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration and configured to contact and seal against an inner wall of the patient's blood vessel when inserted therein in the expanded configuration. A support member (12; 13) is disposed inside the ring seal (10) in order to support the ring seal (10) from the inside, wherein the support member (12; 13) is configured to collapse at least partially when a predetermined pressure difference between a proximal area and a distal area of the blood vessel acting on the ring seal (10) is exceeded.

Sealed neurovascular extendable catheter

A catheter is provided which includes an outer catheter and an extendable inner catheter. A sealing feature is positioned between the inner catheter and the outer catheter to seal the annular gap between the two while allowing axial translation. The seal may be a compliant protrusion surrounding the inner catheter and may have a chevron-shape for facilitating axial translation. The seal may be a one-way valve configured to allow antegrade flushing but prevent retrograde flow. The seal may be squeegee-like flange on the distal tip of the outer catheter. The seal may be an expandable bulge, which may be mechanically expandable or inflatable or which may be a photosensitive or electrosensitive hydrogel. The seal may include a spring that is radially compressed upon translation or rotation of the inner catheter to transiently break the seal. Also provided is a seal for sealing between the catheter and the vasculature.

Fenestrated infusion balloon catheter and methods of use

A dual-lumen injection catheter is equipped with a distal balloon featuring one or more fenestration or openings on the distal portion thereof. This allows injection of contrast agent in parallel to the injection of embolic agent and better control over the delivery of the therapeutic agent for cancer treatments, bleeding or other purposes.

Balloon devices and methods for use

Balloon catheters and methods are provided for selectively occluding blood flow into a right atrium of a patient's heart communicating with an inferior vena cava (IVC) and superior vena cava (SVC). In one embodiment, a catheter includes first and second balloons adjacent one another on a distal end of the catheter shaft. During use, the distal end is introduced into the right atrium and positioned such that the first balloon is located within the right atrium. The first balloon is expanded within the right atrium and the catheter shaft directed such that the expanded first balloon engages at least a portion of the IVC to prevent substantial inflow into the right atrium from the IVC. The second balloon is then expanded to limit inflow into the right atrium from the SVC, and a medical procedure is performed within the patient's body.

HEMOSTATIC DEVICE

A hemostatic device is disclosed. The hemostatic device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a balloon which is expanded by a fluid supplied therein; a blood discharge pipe which includes a blood inflow hole at one end and exposes the other end to a lower side of the balloon wherein a certain section of a lower side of the blood inflow hole is surrounded by the balloon; and a fluid flow pipe communicating with the inside of the balloon for supplying or discharging the fluid and extending to a lower side of the balloon. The balloon includes a plurality of protrusions that are formed to protrude outward when the balloon is expanded by the fluid.
