Patent number: 7651521Abstract: Medical device and methods for delivery or implantation of prostheses within hollow body organs and vessels or other luminal anatomy are disclosed. The subject technologies may be used in the treatment of atherosclerosis in stenting procedures. For such purposes, a self-expanding stent is deployed in connection with an angioplasty procedure with a corewire actuated delivery system having a fixed distal stent-carrying extension. Withdrawal of the corewire retracts a restraint freeing the stent from a collapsed state, whereupon the stent assumes an expanded configuration set in apposition to the interior surface of a vessel lumen in order to help maintain the vessel open.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2004Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignee: CardioMind, Inc.Inventors: Dai T. Ton, Julian Nikolchev, Nicholas C. Debeer, William R. George

Publication number: 20090281611Abstract: Medical device and methods for delivery or implantation of prostheses within hollow body organs and vessels or other luminal anatomy are disclosed. The subject technologies may be used in the treatment of atherosclerosis in stenting procedures. For such purposes, a self-expanding stent may be deployed in connection with an angioplasty procedure with a sliding restraint based delivery system adapted for simplified use. In the system, the sliding restraint is sized, in coordination with a fixed sleeve accepting a core wire to actuate the restraint to effect an anchoring function with the sleeve so that the stent is not inadvertently advanced during deployment.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2009Publication date: November 12, 2009Applicant: CardioMind, Inc.Inventors: William R. George, Jean C. Chang, Dai T. Ton, Nicholas C. De Beer, Julian Nikolchev, Frank Becking

Publication number: 20080221666Abstract: Medical devices and methods for delivery or implantation of prostheses within hollow body organs and vessels or other luminal anatomy are disclosed. The subject technologies can be used in the treatment of atherosclerosis in stenting procedures or be used in variety of other procedures. The systems can employ a self expanding stent restrained by one or more members released by an electrolytically erodable latch.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2007Publication date: September 11, 2008Applicant: CardioMind, Inc.Inventors: David Licata, Sudip Pandya, William R. George, Roman Turovskiy, Dai T. Ton, James C. Liu

Publication number: 20040220585Abstract: The invention provides an atraumatic, low profile device for the delivery of one or more implants into tubular organs or open regions of the body. The implant delivery device may simultaneously or independently release portions of the implant, e.g., the proximal and distal ends of the implant. This independent release feature allows better implant positioning at the target site. Upon deployment, the implants may be placed at the target site without a sheath.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 24, 2003Publication date: November 4, 2004Applicant: Cardiomind, Inc.Inventor: Julian Nikolchev
