  • Patent number: 11931041
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for treating vascular defects are disclosed herein. One aspect of the present technology, for example, includes an occlusive device comprising a mesh having a low-profile state for intravascular delivery to the aneurysm and a deployed state, the mesh comprising a first end portion, a second end portion, and a length extending between the first and second end portions, and a first lateral edge, a second lateral edge, and a width extending between the first and second lateral edges. The mesh may have a predetermined shape in the deployed state in which (a) the mesh is curved along its width, (b) the mesh is curved along its length, and (c) the mesh has an undulating contour across at least a portion of one or both of its length or its width. The mesh is configured to be positioned within the aneurysm in the deployed state such that the mesh extends over the neck of the aneurysm.

  • Patent number: 11701800
    Abstract: A method for reconditioning a rollable wheel includes coupling a polymeric wheel to a reconditioning system, the polymeric wheel having an outer surface including an abraded area, the abraded area having a first average surface roughness, and applying heat to the abraded area of the outer surface with one or more heater of the reconditioning system, such that a substantial portion of the abraded area is transformed to have a second average surface roughness, the second average surface roughness less than the first average surface roughness.

  • Publication number: 20230210540
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for treating vascular defects are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a method of treating an aneurysm includes positioning a distal portion of an elongated member near or within an aneurysm. The method can include introducing an embolic composition into a lumen of the elongated member using an injector device coupled to a proximal portion of the elongated member. The injector device can pressurize the embolic composition to a pressure of at least 10,000 psi. The method can also include delivering the embolic composition into the aneurysm via the elongated member.

  • Publication number: 20230190292
    Abstract: Devices for treating vascular defects and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, for example, an occlusive device for treating an aneurysm includes a first mesh formed from a first tubular braid, the first mesh including a first petal-shaped region formed from a first flattened section of the first tubular braid. The first mesh can be coupled to a second mesh formed from a second tubular braid. The second mesh can include a second petal-shaped region formed from a second flattened section of the second tubular braid. When the occlusive device is deployed within the aneurysm, the first and second petal-shaped regions can extend at least partially over a neck of the aneurysm.

  • Patent number: 11406519
    Abstract: An aneurysm bridging device can be placed in the neurovasculature of a patient by advancing the aneurysm bridging device in a small-diameter configuration a delivery catheter to a target region within the neurovasculature and securing the distal region of the aneurysm bridging device to the neurovasculature. While the distal region of the aneurysm bridging device is secured to the neurovasculature, the proximal region of the aneurysm bridging device can be advanced to permit the aneurysm bridging device to expand from the small-diameter configuration and to deform and twist in a central region of the aneurysm bridging device. The proximal region of the aneurysm bridging device can be secured within the neurovasculature to maintain the central region of the aneurysm bridging device in a deformed state.
