Patent number: 9498604Abstract: A vessel-occluding medical device for the use in diagnosis and/or treatment of cardiovascular disease in the human body includes an outer tube, an inner tube slidably housed within the outer tube, and a tubular sleeve comprising a generally U-shaped, direction reversing region, which moves along the length of the tubular sleeve, to assume radially contracted and radially expanded state as the inner and outer tubes move between the first and second positions. When the tubular sleeve is in the radially expanded state, the inner portion of the tubular sleeve has a funnel-shaped surface and a longitudinally-extending opening to permit material to pass therethrough for receipt of material into the inner tube.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2014Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: GENESIS TECHNOLOGIES LLCInventors: William R. Dubrul, Brent D. Seybold, Mark L. Mathis, Philip M. Leopold, Richard E. Fulton, III

Publication number: 20140148829Abstract: A catheter system and corresponding methods are provided for accessing a blood vessel true lumen from a sub-intimal plane of the vessel. The catheter system includes visualization elements for determining the orientation of the true lumen with respect to the sub-intimal plane at an identified entry site from a position in the sub-intimal plane. The entry site is distal to a chronic total occlusion (CTO). The catheter system also includes a system for physically securing tissue of the sub-intimal plane at the entry site to the catheter system. The attaching system reduces or eliminates catheter float within the sub-intimal space. The catheter system further includes re-entry devices to establish and maintain a path from the sub-intimal plane back into the vessel true lumen.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2013Publication date: May 29, 2014Applicant: LuMend, Inc.Inventors: Kurt D. Sparks, Jeffrey L. Emery, Brent D. Seybold, David J. Kupiecki, C. Daniel Pinson, Allen W. Madsen, Michael D. Keleher, Sergio Salinas, Benjamin J. Clark, Matthew R. Selmon

Publication number: 20020143358Abstract: A method and apparatus for micro-dissection of vascular occlusions are provided wherein two or more tissue expansion members are coupled with a base section and an actuation assembly so that they rotate radially outward from the central axis of the base. The actuating assembly occupies a channel within the base such that it is free to move in a longitudinal direction. As an external force is applied to the actuation assembly, the actuation assembly engages the tissue expansion members causing them to move in a radial outward direction with respect to the base section. The resulting motion causes the tissue expansion members to contact the tissue walls and/or the occlusion. The tissue expansion members can stretch the tissue walls causing the occlusion to tear, fracture or be disrupted or displaced.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2002Publication date: October 3, 2002Inventors: Nicanor A. Domingo, Robert K. Deckman, Brent D. Seybold, Kurt D. Sparks
