The invention relates to a novel multivalent atrial appendage occluder of hybrid design based on two different atrial appendage occluders, one having a proximal disk-shaped cover and a second version without a proximal cover. The two occluder variants each provide relevant application solutions by themselves. The invention further relates to multiple specified, universal devices composed of predominantly rotationally symmetrical individual parts for producing these different LAA occluders (LAA=Left Atrial Appendage) which are graded in different sizes, for the interventional, catheter-based closure of the left atrial appendage. Axially and radially oriented hooks support the secure and gentle anchoring of the occluders 1 in the retaining area of the atrial appendage 26. As a result, the use of substantially smaller access ports in the interventional application is possible. The two atrial appendage occluder variants, with and without proximal cover 14, can be inserted using the same controllable access port and can be implanted in various sizes individually or in combination with one another and likewise as a hybrid variant of two occluders, one without a proximal cover (14) and one subsequently with a proximal cover (14) in one and the same atrial appendage (24) as shown in FIG. 17. The two atrial appendage occluder variants can each be released during the implantation phase in three stages until they are fully unfolded.

A left atrial appendage (LAA) occluder and an occluding system are provided. The LAA occluder includes a sealing portion and an ablation portion arranged in the sealing portion, as well as a hollow proximal connector at a proximal end of the sealing portion. The ablation portion is connected to the proximal connector. The ablation portion is used to freeze an LAA after being injected with cryogen so as to form an annular isolation band on an inner wall of the LAA for blocking the conduction of electrical signals between the LAA and a left atrium.

Devices, methods, and systems for closure device for a left atrial appendage and, in particular, to a closure device that includes an anchor element and a disc element that are each individually chosen based on the anatomy of the patient's left atrial appendage and assembled before implantation. In one embodiment, a medical device comprises: an anchor element, the anchor element including a first connection element; and a disc element, the disc element including a second connection element pivotably coupled to the first connection element, the anchor element being sized to be received and retained within a left atrial appendage and the disc element being sized to completely cover an opening of the left atrial appendage.

An occluder, an occluding system, and a conveying device are provided. The occluder includes an occluding frame. The occluding frame includes a first occluding unit, a middle portion occluding unit, a second occluding unit, and waist portions. Both ends of the middle portion occluding unit are connected to the first occluding unit and the second occluding unit, respectively, by the waist portions. A fixing member is sleeved on each waist portion. A channel is formed at a middle portion of each fixing member. The occluding frame has an inner cavity. A first opening is formed on the first occluding unit. A second opening is formed on the second occluding unit. The first opening, the channel, the inner cavity, and the second opening are communicated to form a path. A locking member can be omitted in the occluder.

An occlusion device (210) is provided for occluding a left atrial appendage (LAA), including a compliant balloon (230) defining a fluid-tight balloon chamber (232), and an actuating shaft (234), which is disposed at least partially within the balloon chamber (232) for setting a distance between distal and proximal end portions (236, 238) of the balloon (230). A proximal LAA-orifice cover (70) includes a frame (72) and a covering (74) fixed to the frame (72). An orifice-support stent (290) is fixed to and extends distally from the proximal LAA-orifice cover (70), and is generally cylindrical when in a radially-expanded state. Other embodiments are also described.

A system, device and method for left atrial appendage occlusion detection is disclosed. The system for occlusion detection comprises a sheath; a delivery system comprising: a delivery catheter extending between a proximal end and a distal end; and a handle coupled to the proximal end of the delivery catheter; a medical tool coupled to a distal end of the delivery catheter at a target location within a portion of an organ of a patient, the medical device comprising a hub including a bore defining an axis, an occluder portion coupled to the hub and an anchor portion extending between a first end and a second end; at least one pressure sensor configured to measure a pressure of the target cavity while blood is suctioned form inside the left atrial appendage; and at least one processor configured to process the pressure measurement acquired from the at least one pressure sensor.

An embolisation device (10) for promoting clot formation in a bodily lumen (L) and having a collapsed delivery configuration for delivery of the embolisation device (10) into, and retrieval of the embolisation device (10) from, the bodily lumen (L) and an expanded deployed configuration for anchoring the embolisation device (10) in the bodily lumen (L). The embolisation device (10) comprises a tubular cage (20) having a collapsed delivery configuration and an expanded deployed configuration. The embolisation device further comprises an embolisation member (30) disposed in the tubular cage (20), the embolisation member (30) comprising a stem (31) and a plurality of flexible bristles (32) extending outwardly from the stem, the plurality of flexible bristles having a collapsed delivery configuration and an expanded deployed configuration. The embolisation device (10) is configured such that as the tubular cage (20) is transitioned from its expanded deployed configuration to its collapsed delivery configuration the plurality of flexible bristles (32) is urged by the tubular cage (20) from the expanded deployed configuration of the flexible bristles (32) to the collapsed delivery configuration of the flexible bristles (32).

Anchors and anchoring methods suitable for use with implantable assemblies that include an implantable device, including but not limited to implantable sensing devices and implantable wireless sensing devices adapted to monitor physiological parameters within living bodies. Such an implantable device has a housing containing a transducer, electrical circuitry, and an antenna. The transducer is located at a first end of the housing opposite a second end of the housing. At least the transducer is located within a housing portion of the housing in which the antenna is not located. The implantable assembly further includes an anchor is adapted for securing the implantable device within a living body.

There is provided an implant system comprising: a delivery wire assembly having a female detachment mechanism component; and an implant having a male detachment mechanism component, wherein the female detachment mechanism component comprises a coil configured to receive the male detachment mechanism component such that the male detachment mechanism component is attachable to the female detachment mechanism component.

Embodiments of the present invention provide an improved vascular occlusion device for occlusion of a passageway, cavity, or the like. According to one embodiment, a medical device for occluding a left atrial appendage is provided. The medical device includes a first portion having at least one plane of occlusion that is configured to be positioned outside of the left atrial appendage, and a second portion having at least one plane of occlusion that is configured to be at least partially positioned within a cavity defined by the left atrial appendage.
