Publication number: 20220079601Abstract: Implantable devices for placement at a cavity or opening such as an aneurysm are disclosed. The implantable devices, in a deployed condition, have a generally inverted U-shaped profile with a curved or angled framework support structure sized and configured for placement in proximity to tissue surrounding the opening and anchoring legs extending proximally from the framework structure sized and configured to contact the wall of a neighboring lumen at opposed locations. Occlusive and semi-occlusive membranes may be associated with the framework support structure and deployed over the opening to provide exclusion of the opening and flow diversion. Proximal anchoring segments providing additional lumen wall surface area contact for the implantable device following deployment may be incorporated.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2021Publication date: March 17, 2022Applicant: PULSAR VASCULAR, INC.Inventors: Brent GERBERDING, Robert M. ABRAMS, Gilbert CLARKE

Publication number: 20200046361Abstract: An implantable closure structure is delivered using minimally invasive techniques and inhibits the migration of liquid and particulate matter from inside a physiological cavity or opening, such as an aneurysm or a septal defect, as well as inhibiting the flow of liquid and particulate matter, such as from an associated blood vessel or chamber, into the physiological cavity or opening. The device has a closure structure that covers the neck or opening of a cavity and has one or more anchoring structures for supporting and retaining the closure structure in place across the cavity or opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2019Publication date: February 13, 2020Applicant: Pulsar Vascular, Inc.Inventors: Joseph ESKRIDGE, Gilbert CLARKE, Matthew PEASE, Gregory Marlin MAST, John Conrad MUSKIVITCH

Patent number: 10335153Abstract: Implantable therapeutic devices and methods for endovascular placement of devices at a target site, such an opening at a neck of an aneurysm, are disclosed. Selected embodiments of the present technology have closures that at least partially occlude the neck of an aneurysm to stabilize embolic or coagulative treatment of the aneurysm. In one embodiment, for example, an aneurysm closure device comprises a closure structure and a supplemental stabilizer. The closure structure can have a curved portion configured to extend along a first vessel, such as a side branch of a bifurcated vessel that extends along a lateral axis. The supplemental stabilizer extends from the closure structure along a longitudinal axis transverse to the lateral axis of the first vessel. The supplemental stabilizer is configured to exert an outward force against a second vessel, such as a parent vessel, that extends transversely to the first vessel.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2016Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: PULSAR VASCULAR, INC.Inventors: Gilbert Clarke, Brent Gerberding, Robert M.
