  • Patent number: 11642150
    Abstract: Components and corresponding systems are described for providing removal of a clot or fragment thereof to address an acute ischemic stroke condition. In particular, a filter design is presented that provides metal elements below a bundle of polymer fibers to provide more mechanical strength while cushioning the vessel wall from direct contact with the metal elements. Designs of stent retrievers are presented with polymer covers or mounted on the exterior of a microcatheter. Corresponding systems are described that can use various combinations of the components, generally in combination with an aspiration catheter. Corresponding procedures are described that can effectively use the various devices and systems.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20160174991
    Abstract: A device for at least partially occluding an aneurysm is disclosed. The device includes a first elongate member having a distal end. A bridge is positioned proximate the distal end and transformable between a delivery configuration and a deployed configuration. A second elongate member is movable relative to the first elongate member, the first and second elongate members being configured such that one can be moved relative to the other in order to transform the bridge between the delivery and deployed configurations.

  • Publication number: 20040172056
    Abstract: An aneurysm buttressing arrangement for covering an aneurysm opening in an intracranial aneurysm, for temporary placement thereadjacent, to prevent escape of embolitic agents from that aneurysm. The buttressing arrangement comprises an elongated delivery wire having a proximal end and a distal end. An expandable scaffold of wire mesh is arranged on the distal end of the delivery wire. The scaffold comprises a generally “U” shaped arrangement of wire mesh attached to the delivery wire.

  • Patent number: 5928260
    Abstract: A system for treating an aneurysm in a vessel includes a delivery device having a delivery portion suitable for delivery of embolic material. The delivery device is placed in a neck of the aneurysm and an expandable member is placed proximate the neck. The expandable member is expanded to overlie substantially the entire neck. Embolic material is delivered to the aneurysm with a delivery device. The expandable member is held over the neck to inhibit movement of the embolic material out of the aneurysm. Blood is allowed to flow out of the aneurysm, past the neck of the aneurysm, and through the vessel while the expandable member is held over the neck of the aneurysm.
