  • Publication number: 20200146852
    Abstract: Systems and method for delivering and deploying an expandable stent to treat Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) involving large and medium-sized blood vessels. The disclosed systems include a catheter, a shaft comprising a distal end disposed within the catheter, an expandable stent comprising a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the shaft is coupled to the expandable stent and the shaft is disposed within the expandable stent, and a plurality of struts, wherein a first end of each strut is coupled to the shaft and a second end of each strut is coupled to the expandable stent. Longitudinal movement of the shaft relative to the expandable stent extends the plurality of struts radially outward and expands the expandable stent, similar to umbrella. The plurality of struts provides radial force to the expandable stent in an expanded configuration to the vessel walls of the patient.

  • Publication number: 20200060760
    Abstract: A catheter system that includes a catheter with a lumen and extends from a proximal end to a distal end of the catheter, the distal end of the catheter comprising an opening. The catheter system further includes an RF generator configured to produce an high radio frequencies. An electrode is disposed within a wall of the catheter at the distal end of the catheter. The electrode is configured to produce a high radio frequency electromagnetic field that is contained within the lumen of the catheter. A plurality of wires connects the RF generator to the electrode. The plurality of wires extend along the length of the catheter.

  • Publication number: 20180049859
    Abstract: Described herein are devices and methods for closing abnormal communications between one or more vessels or a vessel and an organ. The devices and methods described herein are configured to divert a flow of a body fluid such as, for example, blood or bile away from the abnormal conduit thereby promoting thrombosis and occlusion in the case of blood vessel to blood vessel communication or an aneurysm and/or decrease in size of and epithelization of the communication such as in the case of a fistula.
