Described are medical graft products, systems, and methods for treating fistulae. Certain products of the invention are configured to have portions residing in and around a primary fistula opening, e.g., one occurring in a wall of the alimentary canal. One such product includes a biocompatible graft body which is configured to block at least the primary opening. The graft body includes a capping member, which is configured to contact portions of the alimentary canal wall adjacent to the primary opening, and an elongate plug member extending from the capping member, which is configured to extend into at least a portion of the fistula. In certain embodiments, a graft body component has the capacity to expand or otherwise change form to provide a suitable capping arrangement. Such a component can include a resilient wire frame, e.g., one that is self-expandable or one that requires at least some manipulation in order to expand.

The inventive device may include a delivery catheter that remains coupled to an expandable stent portion having an hourglass or “diabolo” shape. The temporary stent device is configured to lodge the shunt portion securely in the atrial septum, preferably the fossa ovalis, to function as an interatrial shunt, allowing blood flow between the left atrium to the right atrium responsive to a pressure differential across the atrial septum. Upon completion of the treatment, a delivery sheath may be used in conjunction with cinching cord coupled to the stent portion to retrieve and remove the temporary shunt device from the patient.

A closure device for sealing a percutaneous puncture in a wall of a body passageway, the closure device including at least one of a toggle configured to engage an interior surface of the body passageway or a plug configured to engage an exterior surface of the body passageway and a guide wire configured to extend from an outside of the body to inside the body passageway, wherein at least one of the toggle and the plug is associated with the guide wire.

Systems, devices, and methods for controlling cooperative surgical instruments with variable surgical site access trajectories are provided. Various aspects of the present disclosure provide for coordinated operation of surgical instruments accessing a common surgical site from different approach and/or separate body cavities to achieve a common surgical purpose. For example, various methods, devices, and systems disclosed herein can enable the coordinated treatment of tissue by disparate minimally invasive surgical systems that approach the tissue from varying anatomical spaces and must operate differently, but in concert with one another, to effect a desired surgical treatment.

A treatment system includes an insert that is resiliently deflectable. The tip portion of the insert can be configured to be coupled to the trailing portion of an implant. A guide tube having an internal lumen is configured to permit passage of the tip portion and the body portion of the insert through a guide tube. The guide tube can have a length that is less than that of the insert. Treatment systems include a plurality of inserts, each insert differing from in at least one of length, diameter, and curvature. Treating a patient can include sizing a fistula using an insert.

Methods for sealing a percutaneous puncture in a wall of a body passageway are disclosed herein. The methods include inserting a deployment instrument into the puncture via a toggle along the guidewire, and actuating the deployment instrument to move the first component and the second component relative to each other such that the toggle abuts the wall of the artery proximate the puncture to seal the puncture.

Biocompatible wound closure devices including an elongate body and a plug member are useful for wound repair.

Described herein is a medical device for treating a target site. The medical device includes a proximal end including a disc and a distal end including a lobe. The disc and lobe are connected by a connecting member. The disc includes a proximal surface, a distal surface, and a central surface extending between and connecting the proximal surface and distal surface, wherein the central surface separates the proximal surface from the distal surface by a predetermined depth distance.

Systems and methods for sealing an opening in a wall within the body of a patient are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system has an elongated body coupled to a vascular closure device and a resisting member, the elongated body having a high resistance portion and a low resistance portion and being constructed and arranged to interface with a resisting member to apply a conforming force to a vascular closure device. In some exemplary embodiments, the elongated body comprises a large diameter portion positioned in a proximal end region of the elongated body. Methods and other embodiments are disclosed.
