Publication number: 20160193047Abstract: A guide catheter is described for introduction into a patient's vasculature, to provide a substantially continuous guide lumen within the vasculature to the ascending aorta, through which one or more other functional catheters may be introduced and removed during the procedure. The guide catheter includes an aligner at its distal region for aligning the position and/or inclination of the distal region of the guide catheter with respect to the ascending aorta. The aligner includes an embolic protection filter. The guide catheter is made of material collapsible/distensible in cross section to adopt a small shape when no catheter is present inside, and to distend to a large shape to accommodate passage of functional catheter therethrough. The cross-section shape collapses/distends by folding/unfolding of material without elastic stretching of the material.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2016Publication date: July 7, 2016Applicant: Symetis SAInventors: Stephane Delaloye, Jean-Luc Hefti, Youssef Biadillah

Publication number: 20160022444Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are related to devices and techniques for para-valve sealing of an expandable stent-valve implanted using a catheter. In some embodiments, a stent-valve is provided which comprises a seal sleeve/cuff containing material that swells when contacted by blood. A piercing tool may be included and used to permit a user to puncture the sleeve/cuff prior to introduction into a patient's body. In some embodiments, the sleeve/cuff has an integral tubular structure configured to withstand balloon expansion of the stent-valve during or after implantation. In some embodiments, the seal is provided as a separate component from the stent-valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2014Publication date: January 28, 2016Applicant: SYMETIS SAInventors: Stéphane Delaloye, Jacques Essinger, Jean-Luc Hefti, Youssef Biadillah, Luc Mantanus, Fabien Lombardi, Lionel Flaction, Yutit Wanakoht
