Patents by Inventor Jon H. Hoem

Jon H. Hoem has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11957854
    Abstract: MVO is treated by introducing injectate into blood vessels affected by MVO at precise flow rates, while blocking retrograde flow, such that the natural pumping of the heart aids in forcing the injectate into the affected microvessels. Monitoring pressure distal of an occlusion balloon is used to determine treatment effectiveness and heart health.

  • Publication number: 20230293877
    Abstract: The invention relates to a catheter assembly for the intermittent occlusion of the coronary sinus (CS, 60). The catheter assembly comprises a shaft (17, 126). The shaft (17, 126) has a plurality of lumens (7A, 7B, 35, 38, 40, 40A, 40B), a distal end (22) with a distal tip (20A, 20B, 20C), an occlusion device (24, 56, 142) fixed to the distal tip (20A, 20B, 20C) and operable through at least one of the plurality of lumens (7A, 7B, 35, 38, 40, 40A, 40B) and a proximal handle (10).

  • Patent number: 11660096
    Abstract: Some systems and methods for operating a vessel occlusion catheter may include a control and inflation device to control the filling of the balloon in such a manner that the vessel wall will not be overstressed while the safe occlusion of the blood vessel is achieved.

  • Publication number: 20210228387
    Abstract: Devices and methods for preventing reperfusion injuries when an occlusion balloon is deflated. A catheter having an infusion lumen exiting the catheter distal of a stent balloon and/or occlusion balloon allows a therapeutic agent to be introduced to a target location to establish desired temperatures and pressures prior to deflation of the balloon such that negative effects of reperfusion are minimized.

  • Publication number: 20200337564
    Abstract: Some embodiments of a balloon catheter device for introduction into a body vessel, in particular the coronary sinus, can include a catheter shaft which carries an inflatable balloon on its distal portion and in which a plurality of different lumens are formed. In particular embodiments, a system for treating heart tissue can include a coronary sinus occlusion catheter configured for improved deliverability to the coronary sinus and for thereafter performing intermittent occlusion of the coronary sinus.
