Abstract: According to some embodiments, the present technology includes devices and systems for removing obstructive material from a blood vessel lumen. For example, the system can comprise a first elongated member, a second elongated member, and a cutting element configured to cut obstructive material at the treatment site. Rotation of the second elongated member relative to the first elongated member, or vice versa, can cause the cutting element to expand away from a longitudinal axis of the second elongated member. The system can further include an expandable positioning element configured to be intravascularly delivered to the treatment site, where the positioning element can be configured to expand into apposition with the vessel wall to position the cutting element closer to the obstructive material than before expansion of the positioning element.

Abstract: Intravascular devices and methods for intramural delivery of dissection fluids and infusates are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the systems include an infusion assembly that can access a position in vessel adjacent an infusion site and advance a tissue manipulation component into the infusion site to deliver a therapeutic infusate. The infusion site can be an intraluminal space, such as within an obstructive material, adjacent the obstructive material, and/or within a boundary layer between the obstructive material and a vessel wall. The infusion assembly can further deliver an infusate that includes a therapeutic drug or other agent into the infusion site.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, the present technology includes device for removing obstructive material from a blood vessel lumen. For example, the device can comprise an elongated member, a cutting portion carried by a distal region of the elongated member, and a capture portion carried by the distal region of the elongated member. The cutting portion can comprise a blade configured to separate at least a portion of the obstructive material from the blood vessel wall, and the capture portion can comprise a mesh structure configured to enmesh and/or capture at least a portion of the obstructive material.

Abstract: Intravascular devices and methods for intramural delivery of dissection fluids and infusates are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the systems include an infusion assembly that can access a vessel wall at a depth within a layer of the vessel wall and advance a tissue manipulation component at approximately the same depth within the vessel wall to create an intramural space within the vessel layer. The infusion assembly can further deliver an infusate that includes a therapeutic drug or other agent into the intramural space.

Abstract: A renal flow system injects a volume of fluid agent into a location within an abdominal aorta in a manner that flows bilaterally into each of two renal arteries via their respectively spaced ostia along the abdominal aorta wall. A local injection assembly includes two injection members, each having an injection port that couples to a source of fluid agent externally of the patient. The injection ports may be positioned with an outer region of blood flow along the abdominal aorta wall perfusing the two renal arteries. A flow isolation assembly may isolate flow of the injected agent within the outer region and into the renals. The injection members are delivered to the location in a first radially collapsed condition, and bifurcate across the aorta to inject into the spaced renal ostia. A delivery catheter for upstream interventions is used as a chassis to deliver a bilateral local renal injection assembly to the location within the abdominal aorta.

Abstract: A dual lumen introducer sheath provides access to at least one renal artery and at least one peripheral blood vessel of a patient. The introducer sheath includes a proximal hub comprising first and second ports, a first lumen, and a second lumen. The first lumen extends from the first port to a first distal aperture and has sufficient length such that when the first port is positioned outside the patient the first distal aperture is positionable in the abdominal aorta at or near origins of the patient's renal arteries. The second lumen extends from the second port to a second distal aperture, has a shorter length than the length of the first lumen, and is configured to allow passage of a catheter device through the second lumen and into or through an iliac artery contralateral to an insertion point of the introducer sheath into the patient.

Abstract: Two renal delivery members have two distal ports that are adapted to be positioned within two renal arteries via their corresponding renal ostia at unique locations along an abdominal aortic wall. A proximal coupler assembly is outside the body and is coupled to deliver material to the two distal ports for bi-lateral renal therapy. One or both of the delivery members may be self-cannulating into the corresponding renal ostium, or may be controllably steered into the respective ostium. Non-occlusive anchors may be coupled with one or both of the delivery members at anchoring positions in the renal artery or abdominal aorta to secure the renal delivery member within the renal artery. Renal-active fluid agents are coupled to the bi-lateral delivery system. Another renal therapy system cannulates a renal vein from the vena cava and controls a retrograde delivery of agents to the respective kidney.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for delivering treatment to the renal arteries are provided. Exemplary systems include a delivery catheter having a distal bifurcation, an introducer assembly comprising an introducer sheath in operative association with a Y-hub, wherein Y-hub includes a first port for receiving the delivery catheter and a second port for receiving a second catheter, and a constraint assembly for holding the distal bifurcation of the delivery catheter in a low-profile configuration when it is advanced distally beyond the introducer sheath.

Abstract: Renal infusion systems include an infusion catheter having a bifurcated distal end with a first branch and second branch, the branches being biased to deploy laterally when unconstrained. Systems also include a delivery sheath having a lumen which receives the infusion catheter and constrains the first branch and second branch. A distal opening of the delivery sheath is formed asymmetrically to allow one of the first and second branches to open laterally while the other of the branches remains constrained. Methods of using renal infusion systems are also provided.

Abstract: Bifurcated delivery assemblies provide bilateral access to first and second branch lumens extending from a main body space or lumen in a patient. One or more interventional devices are combined with the delivery assemblies for delivery s into one or both of the branch lumens. Bilateral renal stenting or embolic protection procedures are performed using the combination delivery/interventional device assemblies. Fluids may also be injected or aspirated from the assemblies. A bifurcated catheter has a first fluid port located on one bifurcation branch, a second fluid port located on a second branch of the bifurcation, and a third fluid port positioned so as to be located within a vena cava when the first and second ports are positioned bilaterally within first and second renal veins.

Abstract: Systems and methods for the clinical treatment of individuals susceptible to or suffering from acute kidney injury are provided. Drugs, biologics, or other therapies or treatments are administered by fluid agent delivery directly to the kidneys via their arterial blood supply. Bifurcated renal artery infusion catheter devices and methods can treat kidney injury in patients with locally-delivered drugs, biologics, and other agents, so as to increase the ability of the kidneys to excrete nitrogenous waste products from the blood, and prevent or ameliorate azotemia.
