  • Patent number: 10349946
    Abstract: Methods for treatment of aneurysms using a sequential manifold console to deploy multiple filling structures are provided herein. In one aspect, aneurysms are treated by simultaneously filling two double-walled filling structure using a sequential manifold console to guide a user in the steps to be followed in the procedure and to reliably achieve a consistent and durable aneurysmal treatment using a curable medium. The structures may be delivered over balloon deployment mechanisms in order to shape and open tubular lumens therethrough. Pairs of filling structures delivered to the aneurysm from different access openings of a patient can be simultaneously prepared and pressurized from a single treatment console when treating abdominal aortic aneurysms using the described systems and methods.

  • Publication number: 20120184982
    Abstract: A system for treating an aneurysm comprises an elongate flexible shaft and a nosecone. An expandable member may be used to expand an expandable endoframe within a double-walled filling structure. The filling structure is adapted to be filled with a hardenable fluid filing medium so that an outer wall conforms to an inside surface of the aneurysm and an inner wall forms a substantially tubular lumen to provide a path for blood flow. In the expanded configuration the endoframe engages the inner wall of the filling structure. One or more tethers releasably couple the filling structure and/or endoframe with the shaft thereby constraining axial movement of the structures relative to each other. The nosecone is constructed to have a series of side ports and a through lumen such that the nosecone can be positioned with a guidewire and simultaneously receive a contrast media for performing angiography through the lumen.
