Publication number: 20220202558Abstract: A flow diversion device for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms and other medical conditions is disclosed. The flow diversion device may include a generally tubular wire stent frame formed from a plurality of zig-zag shaped wire elements that are coupled together. The device further includes a base layer of graft material coupled to the wire stent frame and surrounding at least a portion thereof, the wire stent frame maintaining the base layer in an open condition. In some embodiments, the base layer may be formed of porous graft material having a plurality of slits formed in the longitudinal direction. The slits may have a different shape in a compressed configuration and an expanded configuration. The slits provide a passageway for a small blood flow to maintain the long-term patency of important small side branches, while also reducing blood flow to the aneurysm to promote occlusion and avoid potential rupture.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2022Publication date: June 30, 2022Inventor: George P.

Publication number: 20190021635Abstract: A stroke detection device (50, 100), and associated methods of operation, for early detection of ischemic stroke. The device (50, 100) includes a fiberoptic port (20, 102) connected to an end of a fiberoptic catheter (22, 120), the catheter (22, 120) including a first optical fiber (26, 122) and a second optical fiber (28, 124) each extending along at least a portion of the catheter (22, 120). The catheter (22, 120) is configured to direct infrared light along the first optical fiber to illuminate a subcutaneous region of the patient, and to further obtain reflected light data via the second optical fiber based on the infrared light reflected from cells present in the subcutaneous region. Based on the reflected light data, the stroke detection device (50, 100) monitors SjVO2 levels for early detection of ischemic strokes.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2017Publication date: January 24, 2019Inventor: George P.
