  • Components, systems, and methods for forming anastomoses using magnetism or other coupling means
    Publication number: 20070250084
    Abstract: Anastomotic components may be attached to hollow bodies or vessels by magnetic or mechanical force to create an anastomosis, form a port in a vessel, or repair a diseased vessel lumen. Anastomoses are created by coupling a first connection to an end of a vessel and then attracting it to a second connector secured to the side wall of another vessel. The connection between the first and second connectors may be solidly magnetic, solely mechanical, or a combination thereof. Also disclosed are methods and devices for treating diseased vessel lumens, for example abdominal aortic aneurysm. A plurality of docking members is attached to the vessel at solicited positions, and then one or more grafts is secured to the docking members in any suitable manner.

    Inventors: A. Sharkawy, J. Stine, David Cole, Samuel Crews, Darin Gittings, Adam Kessler, Mark Foley
  • Devices, systems, and methods to fixate tissue within the regions of the body, such as the pharyngeal conduit
    Publication number: 20070186936
    Abstract: Systems and methods incorporate implant structures, and/or implantation devices, and/or surgical implantation techniques, to make possible the treatment of physiologic conditions, such as sleep disordered breathing, with enhanced effectiveness.
