Publication number: 20190374326Abstract: Expandable sealing means for endoluminal devices have been developed for controlled activation. The devices have the benefits of a low profile mechanism (for both self-expanding and balloon-expanding prostheses), contained, not open, release of the material, active conformation to the “leak sites” such that leakage areas are filled without disrupting the physical and functional integrity of the prosthesis, and on-demand, controlled activation, that may not be pressure activated.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2019Publication date: December 12, 2019Inventors: Ashish Sudhir MITRA, Martin Kean Chong NG, Pak Man Victor WONG, Ben Colin BOBILLIER, Jens SOMMER-KNUDSEN

Publication number: 20160194425Abstract: Highly expandable materials have been developed for filling an aneurysm sac and for sealing of endoluminal devices vessel walls. The expandable materials have appropriate chemical and physical properties to withstand radiation, sterilization, or storage in sterilizing solution, without loss of expandable characteristics. The expandable materials may contain protectants, prophylactic, diagnostic, therapeutic, or imaging agents. The expandable materials form a seal that actively conforms to vascular anatomy sealing any leaks that may occur after device implantation. In one embodiment, the technology is used to prevent leaks associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair, especially for complex AAA repair.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2016Publication date: July 7, 2016Inventors: Ashish Sudhir Mitra, Jens Sommer Knudsen, Roya Ravarian, Cristina Borras Guardiola, Pak Man Victor Wong
