  • Publication number: 20230372025
    Abstract: An intravascular therapy guidance system includes a processor circuit in communication with an extravascular imaging device. The processor circuit receives, from the extravascular imaging device, an extravascular image stream. The processor circuit determines a therapy region of a blood vessel in the extravascular image stream and outputs a screen display to a display in communication with processor circuit. The screen display includes the extravascular image stream of the blood vessel including movement of an intravascular therapy device within the blood vessel to deliver an intravascular therapy to the therapy region and a graphical representation of the therapy region overlaid on the extravascular image stream.

  • Publication number: 20220047280
    Abstract: The present disclosure discussed a device, method and/or system for temporarily closing and/or constricting one or more blood vessels upstream and/or downstream of the vascular intervention site to allow for aspiration of vascular debris resulting from a peripheral vascular surgical procedure so as to effectively remove such debris.

  • Patent number: 9326789
    Abstract: Catheters and methods for removing material from (or “debulking”) a body lumen while imaging the region comprised of the material are provided. The catheters can be used in body lumens, including but not limited to intravascular lumens such as coronary or peripheral arteries. The catheters include housings or other structures to mount or protect an imaging transducer. Generally, debulking catheters include a proximal portion, a distal portion having an opening, a cutting element which may be exposed through the opening to contact material in a body lumen and an imaging transducer with associated circuitry and display. The catheter debulks a body lumen when it is moved while the cutting element is in contact with the material in the lumen and the region comprised of the material is imaged before, after, or during catheter movement.
