Publication number: 20250032240Abstract: According to exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, devices, systems, and methods for pyloric occlusion in an endoscopic procedure may include a first flange and a second flange connected to the first flange by a saddle region having a lumen. The second flange may be proximal to the first flange. The pyloric occlusion device may further include a closure element. The closure element may be configured to occlude a flow of material through the lumen, including across the pylorus when deployed. The closure element may be a closure of the lumen by rotation of one of the first or second flanges about the saddle region relative to the other of the first or second flange.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2024Publication date: January 30, 2025Applicant: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Saurav V. Gupta, Camron Hagemeyer, Marc A. Barthet, Jean-Michel Gonzalez, Darren Curran, Dan Bacon, Peter L. Dayton, Douglas Melanson, Gerard Duignan

Publication number: 20240277982Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to the field of medical devices and establishing fluid communication between body lumens. In particular, the present disclosure relates to devices and methods for establishing a controlled flow or access passage between body lumens. For example, a device may include an elongate tubular body defining a lumen along a length thereof. The elongate tubular body may have an unexpanded configuration and an expanded configuration. In the expanded configuration, a proximal portion of the elongate tubular body may expand into a proximal retention member and a distal portion of the elongate tubular body may expand into a distal retention member, leaving a cylindrical saddle region extending therebetween. The cylindrical saddle region may include a constricted portion configured to move between a first diameter configuration and a second diameter configuration larger than the first diameter configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2024Publication date: August 22, 2024Applicant: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Michael Walsh, Javier Palomar-Moreno, Martyn G. Folan, Emma J. Mooney, Shane Moylan, Thomas Holly, David Hegarty, Darren Curran
