Publication number: 20180168792Abstract: Blood flow into vascular tissue is filtered in a manner that can also be useful for trapping particulates while allowing the flow of blood. Consistent with one or more embodiments, a filter apparatus includes a filter, an outer delivery sheath such as a catheter, and one or more shafts that are operable to manipulate the shape of the filter for positioning within vascular tissue. The filter conforms to various types of vascular tissue, and filters blood flow passing through openings in the vascular tissue. In some implementations, the filter is used to trap particulates that have been collected on the filter, and collapses to trap and draw the particulates into the outer delivery sheath.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2018Publication date: June 21, 2018Inventors: Steven Wayne Berhow, J. Eric Goslau, Brad Lees, Michael K. Handley, Douglas Scott Wahnschaffe, Reed Allan Houge

Publication number: 20140200577Abstract: The present invention provides improved catheters for ablative procedures for biological tissue, e.g., in the heart. The catheters allow active fixation to the tissue using a pair of jaws, and a sheath actuates the jaws, simplifying actuation. In particular embodiments, the pair of jaws provides additional stability in attachment to difficult ablation sites, e.g., along the ridges of cardiac structures.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2012Publication date: July 17, 2014Inventors: George Klein, Harold Wodlinger, Steve Wayne Berhow, Douglas Scott Wahnschaffe
