Abstract: Devices and methods that mitigate reperfusion injury (RI) in a clinically practical manner so as to avoid significantly increasing time to reperfusion. In general, these systems and methods involve an antegrade approach to deliver a fluid to the myocardium at risk of RI before, during and after reperfusion is established by a percutaneous coronary intervention such as aspiration and stenting.

Abstract: Olfactory devices and methods for partially or completely blocking, masking or otherwise reducing olfactory input to mitigate adverse responses thereto. In one embodiment, a method of treating a patient with an olfactory-triggered condition may include diagnosing the patient's olfactory-triggered condition. In response to the diagnosis, the method may further include placing an olfactory device over an olfactory area in a nasal cavity of the patient to mitigate the olfactory-triggered condition.
