Patent number: 11786253Abstract: A system for treatment of an aneurysm includes an intrasaccular device that can be delivered using a catheter. The device can include at least one expandable structure adapted to transition from a compressed configuration to an expanded configuration when released into the aneurysm. The expandable structure can have a specific shape or porosity. Multiple expandable structures can also be used, in which case each of the expandable structures can have a unique shape or porosity profile. The morphology of the aneurysm and orientation of any connecting arteries can determine the type, size, shape, number, and porosity profile of the expandable structure used in treating the aneurysm.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2019Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: COVIDIEN LPInventors: Vincent Divino, Earl Frederick Bardsley, Richard Rhee, Madhur Arunrao Kadam, Julie Kulak

Patent number: 11633818Abstract: Systems and methods for treating an aneurysm in accordance with embodiments of the present technology include intravascularly delivering an occlusive member to an aneurysm cavity via an elongated shaft and transforming a shape of the occlusive member within the cavity. The method may include introduction of an embolic element to a space between the occlusive member and an inner surface of the aneurysm wall. In some embodiments, the elongated shaft is detachably coupled to a distal portion of the occlusive member.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2020Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: COVIDIEN LPInventors: Richard Rhee, Vincent Divino, Ashok Nageswaran, Junwei Li

Patent number: 11596414Abstract: An occlusive device for occluding a target area can include an elongate member having opposing first and second side edges extending longitudinally along the member and a member width. The member can have a collapsed configuration in which the first and second side edges are curled toward each other about a longitudinal axis of the member. Further the member can have an expanded configuration in which the member form a series of loops and the first and second side edges uncurl to be spaced apart from each other.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2019Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: COVIDIEN LPInventors: Vincent Divino, Richard Rhee, Earl Bardsley, Julie Kulak, Madhur Kadam, Ramon Carrillo, Kokou A.

Publication number: 20210290246Abstract: Treatment of an aneurysm or other vascular defect can be facilitated or enhanced by an implant delivered with a thermally activated detachment system. A delivery system can include an implant with a proximal portion that defines a port. A pusher device can include arms extending distally from a junction of the pusher device and through the port, with distal sections of the arms disposed within the implant. The arms can, at a certain temperature, transition from engagement with the implant to a shape that facilitates release of the implant. Additionally or alternatively, a coil can engage an outer surface of the implant at the proximal portion and transition to a shape that facilitates release of the implant.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2021Publication date: September 23, 2021Inventors: Vincent Divino, Richard Rhee

Publication number: 20210007753Abstract: Detachment of an implant from a delivery assembly can be electrolytic and provide an electrical current pathway through a fluid within a portion of a delivery system containing the delivery assembly. After the implant is located at a target location within a patient, a voltage potential is applied between (i) a delivery electrode electrically connected to an electrolytic detachment zone and (ii) an infusion electrode disposed outside of the patient and electrically connected to the electrolytic detachment zone via a fluid from a fluid source disposed outside of the patient. While applying the voltage potential, the fluid can be flushed from the fluid source past the detachment zone.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2020Publication date: January 14, 2021Inventor: Vincent Divino

Publication number: 20210000477Abstract: Delivery and detachment of an implant can be enhanced by a retraction mechanism to secure portions of a delivery wire within an interior space of the implant. A delivery system can include an implant having a proximal end portion. A delivery wire can include (i) a detachment zone proximal to the proximal end portion and (ii) a distal region distal to the proximal end portion. An expansion member can be located between the proximal end portion and the distal region of the delivery wire. The expansion member can be biased to move the distal region of the delivery wire distally away from the proximal end portion when severed at the detachment zone.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2020Publication date: January 7, 2021Inventors: Richard Rhee, Madhur Kadam, Vincent Divino
