Abstract: A method includes mixing a liquid carrier and a powder formulation including an S-nitrosothiol (RSNO) powder to form a nitric oxide generating solution; and within a predetermined time of mixing, introducing the nitric oxide generating solution into an inflatable and nitric oxide permeable balloon of a urinary catheter that is inserted in a patient.

Abstract: A venous anchor device operably coupled by graft material to form an anastomotic connector is provided. The venous anchor device includes a tubular main body having a metal frame structure and including a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end including a plurality of barbs thereon wherein said distal end has an outer diameter greater than the proximal end. The venous anchor device is fluidly connected by a graft to form an anastomotic connector.

Abstract: An end-to-end anastomotic connector is provided. The anastomotic connector includes solely an arterial connector and a venous connector. The inner diameter of the proximal end of the arterial connector is sized to directly receive the proximal end of the venous connector in an interference fit without the need for a graft material therebetween. The arterial connector and the venous connector are implanted in an artery and vein, respectively, to form a co-axial relationship with the respective vessel.

Abstract: A one piece anastomotic connector is provided. The one piece anastomotic connector is substantially T-shaped in cross-section and has an arterial portion and a venous portion, the arterial portion is implantable into an arterial passageway and the venous portion implantable into a venous passageway. The venous portion and the arterial portion are integrally formed. The arterial portion allows for undisturbed, full flow of blood into extremities of a patient downstream the anastomotic connector.

Abstract: An arterial anchor device and a venous anchor device operably coupled by graft material to form an anastomotic convector is provided. The arterial anchor device comprises a generally tubular main body including a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end defining a plurality of flanges integrally formed with the tubular main body and being movable from a first loaded position to a second expanded position. The venous anchor device includes a tubular main body having a metal frame structure and including a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end including a plurality of barbs thereon wherein said distal end has an outer diameter greater than the proximal end. The arterial anchor device and venous devices are fluidly connected by a graft to form an anastomotic connector.
