  • CARDIAC SHUNT DEVICE TO MINIMIZE DISRUPTION AND ENHANCE NATURAL FLOW PATTERNS OF BLOOD THROUGH THE HEART
    Publication number: 20230390538
    Abstract: A method of selecting a shunt device for implantation in a heart includes obtaining a first MRI of the heart, and generating a simulation of flow patterns of blood flow in the heart. Blood flow in the heart is simulated when various shunt devices are implanted in the heart. The shunt device that complements the flow patterns of blood flow in the heart is selected, and the shunt device is implanted in the heart.

  • THERAPEUTIC TISSUE MODULATION DEVICES AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20200197088
    Abstract: According to various embodiments, systems, devices and methods for modulating targeted nerve fibers (e.g., hepatic neuromodulation) or other tissue are provided. Systems, devices and methods for cooling energy delivery members are also provided. The systems may be configured to access tortuous anatomy of or adjacent hepatic vasculature. The systems may be configured to target nerves surrounding (e.g., within adventitia of or within perivascular space of) an artery or other blood vessel, such as the common hepatic artery.
