  • Patent number: 11389169
    Abstract: A temporary aortic occlusion device is disclosed, having an expandable locator portion and an expandable occlusion portion. The expandable locator portion assists a user in determining whether the distal end of the device has been advanced within a patient's aorta, and the occlusion portion is expanded to occlude the patient's aorta, preferably below the renal arteries.

  • Publication number: 20220104796
    Abstract: A method of obtaining a tissue specimen includes moving a biopsy needle through a vasculature and through a wall of a blood vessel at a target site. At the target site, the biopsy needle forms a puncture through a wall of said blood vessel at a non-perpendicular angle so that an inner-wall opening of the puncture is further downstream from an outer-wall opening of the puncture. The biopsy needle resects a portion of tissue. The biopsy needle reenters the puncture with the portion of the tissue trapped therein. The biopsy needle is withdrawn from the vasculature for subsequent inspection of the tissue.

  • Publication number: 20210322025
    Abstract: Blood vessel occlusion devices, systems and methods, in particular embodiments of devices for aortic occlusion. The device includes one or more locator portions and an occluder portion. The device is delivered via transcatheter delivery. The locator portion may be radially expanded using a handle and actuator at the proximal end of the delivery catheter. Tactile feedback from the locator portion is used to determine proper location of the occluder portion, for example within the abdominal aorta. The occluder is then radially expanded to occlude the vessel.
