Catheter systems and packaged kits for dual layer guide tubes
A catheter-based/intravascular ablation (denervation) system includes a multiplicity of needles which expand open around a central axis to engage the wall of a blood vessel, or the wall of the left atrium, allowing the injection of a cytotoxic and/or neurotoxic solution for ablating conducting tissue, or nerve fibers around the ostium of the pulmonary vein, or circumferentially in or just beyond the outer layer of the renal artery. The expandable needle delivery system is formed with self-expanding materials and include structures, near the end portion of the needles, or using separate guide tubes. The system also includes means to limit and/or adjust the depth of penetration of the ablative fluid into the tissue of the wall of the targeted blood vessel. The preferred embodiment of the catheter delivered through the vascular system of a patient includes a multiplicity of expandable guide tubes that engage the wall of a blood vessel. Injection needles having injection egress at or near their sharpened distal end are then advanced through the guide tubes to penetrate the wall of the blood vessel to a prescribed depth. The ability to provide PeriVascular injection so as to only affect the outer layer(s) of a blood vessel without affecting the media has particular application for PeriVascular Renal Denervation (PVRD) of the sympathetic nerves which lie in the adventitia or outside the adventitia of the renal artery.
ASPIRATION CATHETER SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF USE
Described are methods, systems, and devices for facilitation of intraluminal medical procedures within the neurovasculature including catheters and catheter advancement elements.
Dual lumen cannula with adjustable length infusion tube
A dual lumen coaxial cannula assembly including a first infusion tube having a proximal end, a distal end, and a sidewall extending circumferentially therebetween, as well as a second drainage tube co-axially aligned with the first infusion tube, the second drainage tube having a proximal end, a distal end, and a sidewall extending circumferentially therebetween. The assembly also includes a connector assembly, which has an inlet portion through which a portion of the first infusion tube is configured to extend and an outlet portion through which a portion of the second drainage tube is configured to extend. The connector assembly is configured to enable selective axial displacement of the first infusion tube through the second drainage tube.
Balloon catheter
In some examples, a catheter includes one or more balloons positioned between an inner wall and an outer wall of an elongated body of the catheter. The one or more balloons are configured to expand through one or more inner wall openings defined by the inner wall and into an inner lumen of the catheter, as well as through one or more outer wall openings defined by the outer wall, e.g., to extend radially away from an outer surface of the outer wall of the catheter. In some examples, the one or more balloons are configured to expand radially inward through the one or more inner wall openings and into the inner lumen of the catheter to contact (e.g., directly contact) a guidewire positioned within the inner lumen.
Catheter with heat transfer minimizing annular space
A catheter configured to provide a delivery system for standard interventional devices and for rapid localized deep cooling to organs at risk of ischemia-reperfusion injury during procedures such as intracranial thrombectomy or emergency thrombectomy. The catheter is comprised of an insulative shaft with a multi-component braided outer lumen and an internal floating inner lumen with a plurality of structures configured to minimize contact and resulting heat transfer between the two lumens.
EMBOLIC COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS
An embolization system and methods for controlling solidification of embolic compositions comprising a first and a second embolic component that react with each other in vivo at a target site to form an embolic material, with the embolic components being dilutable in physiological fluids so that they do not form an embolic composition at a site that is not desired.
ASPIRATION CATHETER SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF USE
Described are methods, systems, and devices for facilitation of intraluminal medical procedures within the neurovasculature including catheters and catheter advancement elements.
DEVICES AND METHODS FOR MINIMALLY INVASIVE KIDNEY STONE REMOVAL BY COMBINED ASPIRATION AND IRRIGATION
Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods for the removal of objects from the body. The device may be a urethral catheter configured to aspirate kidney stones from the urinary tract through one or more aspiration ports at the distal face or along a lateral side of the catheter. The catheter may include one or more irrigation ports at the distal face or along the lateral side of the catheter for dislodging kidney stones. The device may be steerable. The spatial arrangement of the one or more irrigation ports with respect to the one or more aspiration ports may vary. The device may include an irrigation tube and/or a shield member configured to spatially confine the kidney stones adjacent the catheter. Various temporal patterns of aspiration and irrigation are disclosed for optimizing removal of kidney stones.
CATHETERS AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE AND USE
Catheters that includes inner and outer elongate shafts, each of which is secured relative to an end of an inflatable member. Balloon bonding locations may be disposed radially inward relative to an outer dimension of the outer elongate shaft.
PLIANT MEMBERS FOR RECEIVING AND AIDING IN THE DEPLOYMENT OF VASCULAR PROSTHESES
A vascular prosthesis deployment device and related methods are disclosed. In some embodiments the deployment device may include a delivery catheter assembly. The delivery catheter assembly may include a pliant member, wherein the pliant member is configured receive a vascular prosthesis. The pliant member may also be configured to aid in incrementally deploying a vascular prosthesis.
