Publication number: 20140214002Abstract: There is provided a catheter for providing a delivery substance to a bifurcated vessel, and isolating a treatment zone within the bifurcation. The catheter includes a proximal shaft and a first and second distal shaft positioned within the proximal shaft. The proximal shaft has a proximal occlusion element at a distal end thereof, the first distal shaft has a first distal occlusion element at a distal end thereof, and the second distal shaft has a second distal occlusion element at a distal end thereof. When the proximal occlusion element, and the first and second distal occlusion elements are deployed, a treatment zone is defined, and a delivery substance may be introduced into the treatment zone via the proximal shaft.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2013Publication date: July 31, 2014Applicant: THERMOPEUTIX, INC.Inventors: GLEN LIEBER, RONALD JAY SOLAR, JOHN GILBERT

Patent number: 8361106Abstract: Devices and methods for treating an aneurysm include a single unit having an access element and an occlusion element, the access element providing access to the aneurysm for introducing treatment objects such as coils therethrough while the occlusion element blocks the treatment objects from protruding into the vessel. The access element is an elongated element having an access lumen for direct introduction of coils or for introduction of coils via a microcatheter. The occlusion element is a balloon or an elongated element for introduction of blocking objects such as coils therethrough. In embodiments of the present invention, a distal end of the access element is preshaped at an angle to a longitudinal axis of the device, wherein upon introduction of the device into the vessel, the access element is aligned with the longitudinal axis and at placement of the device adjacent the aneurysm, the access element assumes its pre-shaped configuration.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2012Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: ThermopeutiX, Inc.Inventors: Ronald J.
