Devices, systems, and methods for treatment of intracranial aneurysms
Systems and methods for treating an aneurysm in accordance with embodiments of the present technology include intravascularly delivering an occlusive member to an aneurysm cavity and deforming a shape of the occlusive member via introduction of an embolic element to a space between the occlusive member and an inner surface of the aneurysm wall.
Embolic Containment
Devices, systems, and methods used to seal a treatment area to prevent embolic agents from migrating are described. The concept has particular benefit in allowing liquid embolic to be used with a variety of intravascular therapeutic applications, including for occluding aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations in the neurovasculature.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING ANEURYSMS
Treatment of aneurysms can be improved by delivering an occlusive member (e.g., an expandable braid) to an aneurysm sac in conjunction with an embolic element (e.g., coils, embolic material). A treatment system for such treatment can include an electrolytically corrodible conduit having a proximal portion, a distal portion, and a detachment zone between the proximal portion and the distal portion. An occlusive member having a proximal hub is coupled to the conduit distal portion. The conduit has a lumen configured to pass an embolic element therethrough.
Segmented Embolic System
A catheter system utilizing one or more sensors is described. The catheter can be used as part of an embolic coil system, guidewire system, or combined embolic coil/guidewire system where the devices interact with the catheter system. A variable detachment embolic coil system and guidewire system are also described.
Occlusion device
Provided herein is an occlusion device comprising: (a) continuous mesh structure comprising a medial pinch point; (b) a resilient mesh disc-shaped body extending distally and outward from the medial pinch point; and (c) a compressible mesh carriage extending distally from the medial pinch point on an opposing side of the resilient mesh body of (b), wherein the compressible mesh carriage comprises a pinch point on each end of the carriage, wherein one of the pinch points is the medial pinch point of (a); wherein the continuous mesh structure has a first delivery shape and a second expandable deployed shape, and wherein the length (x) of the resilient mesh body is greater than the length (y) of the compressible mesh carriage in free air and in the deployed shape. Also provided herein is a kit comprising the occlusion device disclosed herein and a means for delivery thereof. Methods of manufacture and use of the occlusion device disclosed herein are also disclosed.
INTRAVASCULAR DEVICE
An intravascular device comprising: an expandable body having an expanded configuration and a contracted configuration, said expandable body in said expanded configuration having a convex curved shape having a base and walls; and a connector; wherein said connector is attached to said expandable body and recessed within said convex curved shape.
DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR TREATMENT OF INTRACRANIAL ANEURYSMS
Systems and methods for treating an aneurysm in accordance with embodiments of the present technology include intravascularly delivering an occlusive member to an aneurysm cavity and deforming a shape of the occlusive member via introduction of an embolic element to a space between the occlusive member and an inner surface of the aneurysm wall.
Systems and methods for treating aneurysms
Treatment of aneurysms can be improved by delivering an occlusive member (e.g., an expandable braid) to an aneurysm sac in conjunction with an embolic element (e.g., coils, embolic material). A treatment system for such treatment can include an electrolytically corrodible core wire having a proximal portion, a distal portion, and a detachment zone between the proximal portion and the distal portion. An occlusive member having a proximal hub is coupled to the core wire distal portion. A conduit extends along at least a portion of the core wire. The conduit has a lumen configured to pass an embolic element therethrough.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING ANEURYSMS
An apparatus for treating an aneurysm in a blood vessel includes an occlusion element including a first tubular mesh having a first end and a second end coupled together at a proximal end of the occlusion element such that an intermediate portion of the first tubular mesh between the first end and the second end includes a substantially 180 degree turn, the intermediate portion of the first tubular mesh extending distally from the proximal end of the occlusion element, wherein the intermediate portion of the first tubular mesh has a collapsed configuration and is configured to expand to an expanded. In some embodiments, the apparatus further includes a second tubular mesh having a first end and a second end coupled to the proximal end of the occlusion element such that an intermediate portion of the second tubular mesh between the first end and the second end includes a substantially 180 degree turn. In some embodiments, the apparatus further comprises a cover coupled to the proximal end of the occlusion element.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING ANEURYSMS
An apparatus for treating an aneurysm includes an occlusion element configured to be releasably coupled to an elongate delivery shaft and having a distal end, a proximal end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the distal end and the proximal end, the occlusion element configured to be delivered in a collapsed configuration and further configured to expand to an expanded configuration, the occlusion element comprising an inverted mesh tube having an outer layer and an inner layer, the outer layer transitioning to the inner layer at an inversion fold located at or adjacent the distal end of the occlusion element, the inversion fold defining an inner diameter, the occlusion element further comprising a maximum outer diameter, wherein the inner diameter is between about 35% to about 85% of the maximum outer diameter, and wherein an outer diameter of the occlusion element increases along the longitudinal axis to the maximum outer diameter.
