Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to implantable medical devices, and, in some embodiments, to a prosthetic implant. Such implantable devices may be, in some cases, useful in the treatment of acute aortic dissections (AADs). In some embodiments, the prosthetic implant comprises an inner frame and an outer frame, the inner frame comprising an expandable support structure. The expandable support structure may comprise one or more expandable branches. The expandable branch may comprise a proximal portion, a middle portion, and a distal portion configured to permit flattening, telescoping, pivoting, and/or expansion of the one or more portions of the expandable branch. The one or more expandable branches may be, in some cases, configured to be placed into a vessel, e.g., a coronary artery. Additionally, a first expandable support structure comprising one or more expandable branches may be, in some cases, coupled to a second expandable support structure comprising one or more expandable branches.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to prosthetic implants, prosthetic implant systems, and their methods of use, for example, for treating a dissection. The prosthetic implants contemplated herein comprise an expandable arch support structure comprising one or more expandable branches configured to be placed within one or more vessels. Certain aspects of the disclosure relate to methods for treating a dissection, e.g., an aortic dissection, using said prosthetic implants and implant systems. The methods comprise advancing one or more guidewires into an ascending aorta, a descending aorta, and/or one or more one or more vessels of an aortic root or aortic arch. The methods further comprise exposing one or more components of the expandable arch support structure from a sheath. In some cases, the exposed component is an expandable branch that is advanced into the one or more vessels of the aortic root or aortic arch, thus anchoring the implant to the native aorta.

Abstract: A delivery device is described for use in a TAVR procedure for replacement of a diseased cardiac valve with a prosthetic valve using a minimally invasive procedure. The invention includes structural features of a prosthetic valve that are mated to corresponding structural features on a catheter-based delivery system. Individual structures and operations of the delivery system are specially designed for the TAVR procedure and operate to improve the delivery and placement of the prosthetic valve at the native annulus such that the surgeon can orient and release the prosthetic valve in a controlled manner to improve the placement and deployment of the prosthetic valve.

Abstract: A system may include a plurality of consolidation stations and a carousel moving the plurality of consolidation stations past a picking location, one or more consolidation stations of the plurality of consolidation stations receiving one or more items at the picking location. The system may include a first transportation mechanism adapted to bring one or more cartons to the picking location at the carousel. The system may include a robotic arm articulating to move the one or more items from one or more mobile storage units into the one or more consolidation stations at the picking location. The system may include a transfer mechanism adapted to transfer items from the one or more consolidation stations into the one or more cartons.

Abstract: A box former may include a carton blank dispensing device that holds a carton blank and carton moving devices that move the carton blank from the carton blank dispensing device and positions it between a plunger and a forming well. The forming well may include a floor, one or more walls, and an opening. The plunger may be configured to move between a retracted position and one or more extended positions, the plunger contacting a top surface of the carton blank and pushing the carton blank into the forming well through the opening of the forming well. In some implementations, the box former may include forming guides that contact points on a bottom surface of the carton blank when it is pushed by the plunger to cause the carton blank to fold into a formed carton.

Abstract: A device for intravascular intervention can comprise an intervention element, an elongate manipulation member, and a joining element. The elongate element can comprise a hooked portion extending about a proximal portion of the intervention element. The hooked portion can comprise a bend. The hooked portion can have (i) no substantial surface crack at an interior region of the bend and (ii) a maximum lateral dimension that is less than 0.027 inch. The joining element can substantially permanently attach the hooked portion to the intervention element.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure can provide systems, methods, and computer-readable medium for providing virtual lighting adjustments to image data. A user interface for presenting and/or modifying image data may be provided via an electronic device. User input may be received that indicates a selection of a virtual lighting mode. Landmark points corresponding to a set of pixels of the image data may be identified based, at least in part, on depth measurement values of the set of pixels. One or more masks may be generated from the landmark points. One or more virtual lighting adjustments associated with the selected virtual lighting mode may be made to the image data using these masks (or the landmark points and an implied geometry of the landmark points). The adjusted/modified image may be presented to the user via the user interface at the electronic device.

The second section can have a bending stiffness per unit length that is less than a bending stiffness per unit length of the first section. The introducer sheath can have a lumen configured to receive the core member therethrough. The introducer sheath can have a length of at least about 80 cm. The microcatheter can have a lumen and a proximal end configured to interface with a distal end of the introducer sheath for delivering the core member into the microcatheter lumen.
