Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating a three-dimensional (3D) composite model of a region of a subject, the method comprising: generating a 3D clinical model of the region of the subject based on one or more images of the region of the subject; obtaining a 3D generic model of the region of a generic subject; combining the 3D clinical model and the 3D generic model using an affine transformation, a bending transformation, and a squeezing transformation of the 3D generic model to obtain the 3D composite model of the subject; and displaying the composite 3D model on a display.

Abstract: An embolic filter device has a catheter portion having a front open end and a rear open end, a wire having a capture tip end, the wire for insertion into the rear open end through the catheter portion and out the front open end, a pair of expanding arms with each arm being captured within the capture tip end, and a mesh canopy connected to the pair of expanding arms.

Abstract: An embolic filter device has a tubular structure having a front end, a first section, a first section rear end, a left collection pocket formed in the first section rear end, a right collection pocket formed in the first section rear end, a first narrow passage, a second section, a second section front end, a second section rear end, a left second section collection pocket, a right second section collection pocket, a second narrow passage, and a rear end.

Abstract: A percutaneous thrombus extraction device for removing a thrombus from within a blood vessel includes a flexible outer sheath defining a first passage between a proximal end and a distal end. An inner sheath is movably positionable within the first passage. The inner sheath defines a second passage between a proximal end and a distal end. The inner sheath is moveable in a radial direction between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration along a length of the inner sheath defined between the proximal end and the distal end. A catheter is movably positionable within the second passage, and has an expandable body at a distal end portion of the catheter. The expandable body is movable between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration.

Abstract: A device for expanding a stent to treat a bifurcation within a body lumen has a catheter for delivering and positioning a stent to a bifurcation within a body lumen, the catheter having a balloon positioned adjacent to the stent, the balloon for being inflated to a predetermined configuration to expand the stent, the predetermined configuration having a first balloon portion, a central balloon portion, and a second balloon portion, the central balloon portion for being positioned adjacent to the bifurcation with the central balloon portion being inflated to expand the stent and to form an opening in the stent adjacent to the bifurcation to facilitate better flow into a branch associated with the bifurcation to prevent or limit a compromise or a closure of the branch, the central balloon portion being inflated to a larger diameter that the first balloon portion and the second balloon portion.

Abstract: A device for controlling delivery of a fluid to a patient is disclosed having an injector device having a cylindrical body and a plunger having a head having a valve, the valve capable of opening and closing, the plunger for insertion into the cylindrical body of the injector device. A device for controlling delivery of a fluid to a patient is also disclosed having an inlet end, an outlet end, a side having a portion of elastic material, the elastic material capable of expanding or contracting with the device for insertion between an injector device and a manifold or an injector device and a catheter.

Abstract: A pericardial access device includes a first tube, a second tube coupled to the first tube, and a biasing mechanism coupled to the second tube. The pericardial access device is moveable between an expanded configuration and a contracted configuration. The biasing mechanism biases the pericardial access device towards the expanded configuration, and the pericardial access device moves towards the contracted configuration when a force is applied to the second tube.
