Paul S. Seifert 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).

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF DE-ENDOTHELIALIZATION
    Publication number: 20100222803
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for treating a wall of an aneurysm formed in a vessel includes introducing a tubular member into the body lumen until a distal end of the tubular member is located within the aneurysm. A fluid is delivered via a lumen of the tubular member into the aneurysm to at least partially de-endothelialize the wall of the aneurysm, thereby causing an endothelium of the wall to generate fibrous tissue to strengthen the wall of the aneurysm.
    Type: Application
    Filed: May 14, 2010
    Publication date: September 2, 2010
    Applicant: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.
    Inventors: Paul S. Seifert, Elaine Lee, Michael P. Wallace, Stephen C. Porter

  • Systems and methods of de-endothelialization
    Publication number: 20040153025
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for at least partially de-endothelializing a wall of an aneurysm include an elongate core member including one or more fibers on an outer surface of the core member, the one or more fibers carrying a de-endothelialization agent. The core member is introduced into the aneurysm, thereby releasing the fluid from the one or more fibers within the aneurysm, the fluid disrupting at least a portion of the endothelium of the wall of the aneurysm. Alternatively, the core member includes a coating carrying a de-endothelialization agent, the coating being degradable when exposed to blood to release the de-endothelialization agent.
