Patent number: 11786131Abstract: A method is disclosed for diagnosing and treating a patient having lesions in both arteries of left and right lower limbs. By determining that a lower stenosis rate lesion to be treated first, catheters and an operation time can be reduced is to be treated first on a priority basis based on diagnostic data, deciding that a higher stenosis rate lesion is to be treated next, then treating the lesions substantially continuously.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2018Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: TERUMO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Atsushi Nomura, Kohtaroh Kusu, Mitsuteru Yasunaga, Yusuke Sekine, Haruhiko Kamijo

Patent number: 11235129Abstract: For treatment of a patient who has a lesion in each of left lower limb artery and right lower limb artery, lesions at both sides can be rather easily and completely treated. A catheter is introduced from an artery of an arm of the patient, and an atherectomy catheter is used for a lesion at one side and continuously used for a lesion at the other side without being extracted to the outside of a human body, and thus damage of an excision portion of the atherectomy catheter and an unexpected situation such as no passage through twisted blood vessels are avoided so that a burden on the patient can be reduced, the treatment can be completed within a short time, and cost reduction can be achieved by reducing the number of catheter to be used.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2018Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: TERUMO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Haruhiko Kamijo

Publication number: 20190231291Abstract: A diagnostic method, a treatment method and a medical system are capable of selecting reasonably and effectively a favorable order of treatments capable of achieving desired effects when lesion areas in both left and right lower limb arteries are treated in order from an artery of an arm. The method of treating a patient having lesion areas X in both left and right lower limb arteries involves determining the lesion area X to be treated first, based on at least the two pieces of selected comparative information on each of the lesion areas X.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2019Publication date: August 1, 2019Applicant: TERUMO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yuya OTAKE, Haruhiko TAKAHASHI, Haruhiko KAMIJO, Tetsuya FUKUOKA

Patent number: 5976017Abstract: A stereoscopic-image game playing apparatus displays a screen image for right eye and a screen image for left eye on LCD 105, outputs images of the player obtained by cameras 103a and 103b to the receiving side, and displays images corresponding to the right half face and the left half face of the player based on the player's images on LCD 107. The images displayed on the LCD 107 are used as figures for selectively introducing lights from the screen images on the LCD 105, by lens 106, to the right and left eyes of the player. This enables stereoscopic vision without glasses for separating images respectively for the player's right and left eyes, and allows the player to move from the initial position.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 1997Date of Patent: November 2, 1999Assignee: Terumo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shigeru Omori, Tomohiko Hattori, Kunimasa Katayama, Sadayuki Sakuma, Haruhiko Kamijo
