  • Publication number: 20220031393
    Abstract: A vascular treatment system includes a vascular treatment device configured to be disposed within a treatment space of a subject. The system further includes an actuation device operatively coupled to the vascular treatment device. The actuation device includes a movement actuator operatively coupled to the vascular treatment system. The movement actuator is actuatable to move the vascular treatment device within the treatment space. The actuation device further includes a liquid reservoir carrying a liquid, and a liquid infusion actuator operatively coupled to the liquid reservoir. The liquid infusion actuator is actuatable to deliver the liquid from the liquid reservoir to the treatment space via the vascular treatment device. The device further includes a user input actuatable to simultaneously actuate the movement actuator and the liquid infusion actuator.

  • Publication number: 20210244930
    Abstract: The present disclosure discussed a device, method and/or system for performing a sealing control for a vascular treatment system having a handle assembly. To perform the sealing control, a movable ring associated with the handle assembly is adjusted to at least one of: a first position to provide a minimum pressure seal between the catheter and the handle assembly such that the catheter is freely movable within the handle assembly, a second position to provide a predetermined amount of pressure seal between the catheter and the handle assembly such that the catheter is movable in frictional contact with the handle assembly, and a third position to provide a maximum pressure seal between the catheter and the handle assembly such that the catheter is unmovable within the handle assembly.

  • Publication number: 20210236780
    Abstract: A catheter-mounted balloon includes an inflatable chamber defining a volume expandable from a deflated state to an inflated state, the inflatable chamber having a distal transition portion, a proximal transition portion, and a cylindrical body portion disposed between the distal transition portion and the proximal transition portion. The cylindrical body portion of the inflatable chamber includes a pleat zone having a pleat when the inflatable chamber is in the deflated state. The catheter-mounted balloon further includes an electrode disposed along a wall of the inflatable chamber. The pleat traverses the electrode such that is electrode is pleated as well.

  • Publication number: 20210052361
    Abstract: An endovascular device including a filter, at least one sensor, and a controller is disclosed. The filter has a proximal end and a distal end, and the filter is inserted into a body lumen and collects embolic materials as the embolic materials travel through the body lumen from the proximal end toward the distal end. The at least one sensor is located near the filter and perform physiological measurements within the body lumen. The controller coupled to the at least one sensor determines a fill level the filter based on the physiological measurements received from the at least one sensor.

  • Publication number: 20200046429
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to the use of medical devices for the treatment of vascular conditions. In particular, the present disclosure provides devices and methods for using laser-induced pressure waves created within a sheath to disrupt intimal and medial calcium within the vasculature. The present disclosure also provides treatment mode selection systems that may be used with such devices and methods.
