Patent number: 11197952Abstract: A vascular access port can include a base that can be attached to a vessel and a body extending away from the base in at least a vertical direction. A height of the body in the vertical direction can be sufficiently small such that the entire port can be implanted subcutaneously in a patient. The port can include a guidance passageway that is at least partially defined by the body and can direct an access device into a vessel of a patient when the port is attached to the vessel. In some arrangements, the guidance passageway includes a funnel region that decreases in size from a proximal end of the guidance passageway toward a distal end of the guidance passageway that defines an opening through the bottom surface of the port.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2019Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: Advent Access Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Nathaniel P. Young, Mark A. Crawford

Patent number: 11134950Abstract: A method of attaching an implant to a vessel can include clamping a portion of a wall of a vessel within a patient. The method can also include positioning an implant adjacent to an outer surface of the wall of the vessel, and the implant can include an access port. The method can also include cutting the wall of the vessel about the portion of the wall that has been clamped, passing the portion of the wall that has been clamped and that has been cut about through the implant to remove the portion of the wall from the patient and to provide an opening in the vessel, and securing the implant to the vessel such that the access port is in direct fluid communication with an interior of the vessel via the opening in the vessel.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2019Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: Advent Access Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Duane D. Blatter, Trent J. Perry, Nathaniel P. Young, Jeffrey E. Ransden

Patent number: 10894120Abstract: In certain systems disclosed herein, one or more of a first vascular access port and a second vascular access port can be selected by a customer. Each of the first and second vascular access ports can be implanted subcutaneously within a patient, and each can include a base configured to be attached to a vessel, a body that extends away from the base, and a guidance passageway that extends through the body and the base and includes a funnel region. A maximum height defined by the base and body of the second vascular access port can be greater than a maximum height defined by the base and body of the first vascular access port.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2019Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Assignee: Advent Access Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Nathaniel P. Young, G. Doug Smith, Mark A. Crawford

Patent number: 9968726Abstract: A method of securing an access port to a vessel can include positioning an access port adjacent to a wall of the vessel. The access port can include an implantation passageway and a guidance passageway that is connected to the implantation passageway. The implantation passageway can be open, during the positioning of the access port, at a position proximal to a location at which the implantation passageway and the guidance passageway are connected. The method can further include forming an opening in the wall of the vessel via instruments that extend through the implantation passageway. The method can include securing the access port to the vessel such that the implantation passageway is in fluid communication with an interior of the vessel via the opening in the wall of the vessel. The method can also include sealing the implantation passageway at the position proximal to the guidance passageway.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2015Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: DF Vital Holdings, LLCInventors: Christopher M.
