20170367708 · 2017-12-28 ·

There is provided herein a non-occlusive blood restricting device for treating a vascular malformation, the blood restricting device consisting of a wire comprising a first section configured to be coiled into a first coil when deployed within the vascular malformation; wherein the first coil comprises a spiral or sequence of loops, the spiral or sequence of loops having a gradually decreasing diameter; and wherein the first coil is configured to line a neck and/or a wall of the vascular malformation so as to at least partially cover an orifice thereof, and a second section configured to be deployed within a blood vessel, adjacent the vascular malformation; wherein the second section is configured to form a second coil, circumferentially lining a wall of the blood vessel.

ELECTROLYTIC DETACHMENT WITH FLUID ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
20170367707 · 2017-12-28 ·

Detachment of an implant from a delivery assembly can be electrolytic and provide an electrical current pathway through a fluid within a portion of a delivery system containing the delivery assembly. After the implant is located at a target location within a patient, a voltage potential is applied between (i) a delivery electrode electrically connected to an electrolytic detachment zone and (ii) an infusion electrode disposed outside of the patient and electrically connected to the electrolytic detachment zone via a fluid from a fluid source disposed outside of the patient. While applying the voltage potential, the fluid can be flushed from the fluid source past the detachment zone.
