  • DUAL HOOP LOW PROFILE EMBOLIC PROTECTION DEVICE AND SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20250049554
    Abstract: In some examples, an embolic protection system is provided for deploying a device in a diseased vessel of a vasculature, the embolic protection system comprising: an embolic protection device (EPD) including: an EPD shaft; a dual-hoop filter provided at a distal end of the EPD shaft, the dual-hoop filter including a distal hoop provided at a distal end of the dual-hoop filter, and a proximal hoop provided at a proximal end of the dual-hoop filter; and a filter actuator located at or towards a proximal end of the EPD, the filter actuator operable to selectively open or close the distal hoop and the proximal hoop of the dual-hoop filter.

  • Methods and apparatus for guided transluminal interventions using vessel wall penetrating catheters and other apparatus
    Patent number: 7966057
    Abstract: Electro-anatomically navigated catheters (e.g., mapping catheters, tissue penetrating catheters, delivery catheters and/or sheaths) and associated methods whereby devices or substances may be delivered to specific locations within a patient's body and/or penetration tracts or passageways are formed at specific locations between anatomical structures. The catheters are equipped with sensors and a sensing field is created around the body of the patient. The sensor-equipped catheters are then inserted into the patient's body and the position of the catheter-mounted sensor(s) is/are observed on a display representing the sensing field. Apparatus may be included for propelling the catheter(s) to specific locations and/or specific rotation orientations, within the patient's body.
