Patent number: 11911072Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for insertion of a medical device into a blood vessel. The system may include a sheath assembly with an introducer sheath and a variable size repositioning sheath. The variable size repositioning sheath may be configured to be adjustable in size in a radial direction and to be inserted into the blood vessel or an expandable introducer sheath. In some aspects, the system may include an intracardiac device such as a blood pump with an elongate catheter.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2020Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: ABIOMED, INC.Inventors: Glen Fantuzzi, Christopher Korkuch, Caitlyn Hastie, Robert Fishman, Akshay Ashok, John Modlish

Publication number: 20230166098Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed including: an intracardiac pump device having a path for a guidewire extending through the pump device from a first opening to a second opening; and a lumen which extends from a first end located outside of the pump device, into the pump device through the first opening in the pump device, along the path for the guidewire, out of the pump device through the second opening, and to a second end located outside of the pump device. The lumen is configured to receive the guidewire such that when the guidewire passes through the lumen from the first end to the second end, the guidewire is positioned along the path.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2022Publication date: June 1, 2023Applicant: ABIOMED, Inc.Inventors: Caitlyn Hastie, Frank Kirchhoff, Thorsten Siess

Publication number: 20230158277Abstract: A persistent perfusion sheath assembly can be used for the passage of an intravascular medical device while maintain a flow passage in the vessel. The sheath assembly passes through an arteriotomy and can include a first lumen configured for the passage of a medical device, a second lumen configured to allow a flow of fluid from a location in the blood vessel upstream of the arteriotomy to a location downstream of the arteriotomy. The sheath assembly can further include a stylet, a sleeve or an additional sheath configured to selectively open and close the flow of blood between upstream and downstream of the arteriotomy. The sheath assembly can further include a closure device distal of the arteriotomy, the closure device configured to control blood flow through the arteriotomy.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2022Publication date: May 25, 2023Applicant: ABIOMED, INC.Inventors: Christopher Nason Korkuch, Caitlyn Hastie, Glen Robert Fantuzzi, Robert Fishman
