Patent number: 7083643Abstract: This invention is directed to methods for treating aneurysms wherein the aneurysmal sac is filled with a non-particulate agent or plurality of such agents and/or with a fluid composition which solidifies in situ. Filling of the aneurysmal sac employs sufficient amount of the non-particulate agent or plurality of such agents and/or the fluid composition to inhibit blood flow into the aneurysm sac. In addition, the methods of this invention also provide for non-endogenous isolation of the parent artery proximal and distal to the aneurysmal sac from systemic blood flow of the treated mammal. The combination of these features provides for treatment of the aneurysmal sac while, at the same time, inhibiting aneurysm formation and/or regrowth in the diseased portions of the arterial wall proximal and distal to the treated aneurysm.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2003Date of Patent: August 1, 2006Assignee: Micro Therapeutics, Inc.Inventors: Thomas J. Whalen, II, Richard J. Greff, Kevin P. Gilmartin, Douglas Ray Hayman, Todd J. Hewitt, Ed L. Olson, Mark A. Pecor, Earl H. Slee, George Wallace

Patent number: 6576001Abstract: The invention provides a device for heating or cooling a surrounding fluid in a feeding vessel and a method of manufacturing the same. The device includes a catheter assembly capable of insertion to a selected blood vessel in the vascular system of a patient. The assembly includes an elongated catheter body, a heat transfer element located at a distal portion of the catheter body and including an interior, an elongated supply lumen adapted to deliver a working fluid to the interior of the heat transfer element and having a hydraulic diameter, an elongated return lumen adapted to return a working fluid from the interior of the heat transfer element and having a hydraulic diameter, and wherein the ratio of the hydraulic diameter of the return lumen to the hydraulic diameter of the supply lumen is substantially equal to 0.75.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2001Date of Patent: June 10, 2003Assignee: Innercool Therapies, Inc.Inventors: Randell L. Werneth, Kevin P. Gilmartin, Steven A. Yon, Juan C Lasheras, John D Dobak, III
