  • Preformed coronary artery guide catheter
    Patent number: 6558368
    Abstract: A catheter having an elongate body including a central lumen adapted to slidably receive a therapeutic catheter. The catheter includes a soft tip adapted to lodge in the ostium of the right coronary artery. The elongate body is formed near the distal end to impinge against the wall of the aorta opposite the ostium of the coronary artery.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 20, 2000
    Date of Patent: May 6, 2003
    Inventor: Jan Voda
  • Angioplasty guide catheter
    Patent number: 6475195
    Abstract: An angioplasty guide catheter adapted for use within a cardiovascular system and cooperable with a left main coronary artery. The guide catheter has a distal end portion such that with a distal tip of the distal end portion coaxially intubated within an ostium of the left main coronary artery fully disposed within the cardiovascular system, a portion of the distal end portion rests against and is substantially contiguous with a wall of the ascending aorta. A distal end of the resting portion is substantially directly opposite the ostium of the left main coronary artery and a portion of the distal end portion defines a generally rectilinear axis of support extending from the distal end of the resting portion across the ascending aorta to the ostium of the left main coronary artery.

  • Coronary guide catheter
    Patent number: 5401258
    Abstract: A catheter for insertion into an artery of a cardiovascular system including a first straight portion extending from the proximal end of the catheter for a distance greater than the length of the artery and a distal end portion extending from the straight portion and bent in a unique manner to enable the distal end to be precisely located relative to the artery.

  • Catheter
    Patent number: 5306263
    Abstract: An improved catheter for insertion into the right coronary artery of a cardiovascular system including an elongated, preshaped tubular member comprising a first straight portion extending from the proximal end of the catheter and a distal end portion extending from the straight portion and bent in a unique manner to rest along the inner wall of said artery and to enable the distal end to be precisely located relative to the artery.
