  • Patent number: 8956399
    Abstract: Described herein are flexible implantable devices or stents that can conform to the shape of vessels of the neurovasculature. In some embodiments, the devices can direct blood flow within a vessel away from an aneurysm or limit blood flow to the aneurysm. In some embodiments, a vascular remodeling device includes a first section and a protruding section. During deployment, the device expands from a compressed configuration to an expanded configuration. The first section anchors the device in an afferent vessel and/or in an efferent vessel of a bifurcation and the protruding section is positioned in the junction of the bifurcation having an aneurysm and across the neck of the aneurysm or at least partially within the aneurysm.

  • Patent number: 8915950
    Abstract: Described herein are vascular remodeling devices that include a proximal section, an intermediate section, and a distal section. During deployment, the proximal section can expand from a compressed delivery state to an expanded state and anchors the device in an afferent vessel of a bifurcation. The distal section expands from the compressed delivery state to an expanded state that may be substantially planar, approximately semi-spherical, umbrella shaped, or reverse umbrella shaped. The distal section is positioned in a bifurcation junction across the neck of an aneurysm or within an aneurysm. The intermediate section allows perfusion to efferent vessels. Before or after the device is in position, embolic material may be used to treat the aneurysm. The distal section can act as a scaffolding to prevent herniation of the embolic material. The device can be used for clot retrieval with integral distal embolic protection.

  • Publication number: 20140074144
    Abstract: Catheters of the present disclosure include a catheter shaft and an expandable tip, which can retrieve materials slightly larger than an inner diameter of the catheter shaft. The tip may be expandable such that it can easily transform from a first size and shape to a second size and shape to aid in the retrieval of the materials (i.e., the thrombus, embolus, or foreign body). Catheter tips may be expanded by inflation, removal of a constraining member, or an input such as heat, light, or electrical energy.

  • Publication number: 20120296362
    Abstract: A vascular remodeling device is provided that can comprise a proximal section, an intermediate section, and a distal section. During deployment, the proximal section can expand from a compressed delivery state to an expanded state and anchor the device in the afferent vessel of a bifurcation. The distal section can comprise at least one embolization coil that can be positioned within an aneurysm to treat the aneurysm and expand from the compressed delivery state to an expanded state upon deployment. The intermediate section can allow perfusion to efferent vessels. Before, during, and/or after the device is positioned, additional embolic material can be used to treat the aneurysm.

  • Publication number: 20120296361
    Abstract: A vascular remodeling device and methods for its use are provided. The device can be positionable at a junction of a bifurcation having an aneurysm and that defines afferent and efferent vessels. Ends of the device can be at least partially inserted into the aneurysm or can anchor the device by being at least partially inserted into efferent vessels. The device can act as a scaffolding to inhibit dislodging of objects out of the aneurysm. The device can permit perfusion to the efferent vessels. Embolic material can be inserted in the aneurysm before, during, and/or after positioning the device.

  • Publication number: 20120083868
    Abstract: A medical device for blood flow restoration and/or for use as an implantable member in a human vessel includes a self-expanding member, a guidewire, and a connection mechanism. The self-expanding member includes a plurality of cells and filaments having specific ranges of thicknesses, widths, and heights. The self-expanding member can take on a volume-reduced coiled form with overlapped edges, and can generate optimal radial forces against a vessel wall and/or thrombus when deployed and expanded.
