Patent number: 8647359Abstract: Methods and devices for capturing debris within a blood vessel are disclosed. A filter assembly in accordance with the present invention comprises an elongate shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, and a filter fixed to the elongate shaft proximate the distal end thereof. A filter assembly in accordance with the present invention may further include a means for reducing the volume of the debris that is disposed within the filter.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2002Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Thomas E. Broome, Verivada (Chandru) Chandrasekaran, John M. K. Daniel, James E. Mayberry

Patent number: 7909821Abstract: A deflectable interstitial ablation device includes an elongated housing, an electrode mounted within the elongated housing, a driver coupled to the electrode, an imaging device integrally mounted within the elongated housing and a deflection system disposed within the elongated housing. The elongated housing has a proximal end, a distal end, and a deflectable segment. The electrode is deployable from a first position within the elongated housing to a second position a predetermined distance beyond the distal end of the elongated housing. The electrode further has a flexible portion capable of deflecting with the deflectable segment of the elongated housing, and can be deployed by the driver with a sufficient force such that penetration of the urethral wall occurs in a single motion. The imaging device further has a flexible portion capable of deflecting with the deflectable segment of the elongated housing.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2002Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Kimberly Paddock, James E. Mayberry, Charles D. Lennox

Patent number: 6685653Abstract: An extension system for a pressure-sensing guidewire is disclosed. The guidewire includes an elongated tubular member having a proximal end, a distal end and a lumen extending between the proximal and distal ends. The guidewire also includes at least one opening disposed adjacent the distal end of the tubular member for providing fluid communication to the lumen. The system also includes an elongated extension member that is detachably connected to the proximal end of the tubular member. The system enables a catheter to be inserted over a pressure-sensing guidewire without removing the pressure-sensing guidewire from a patient.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2001Date of Patent: February 3, 2004Assignee: SciMed Life Systems, Inc.Inventors: Timothy G.J. Ehr, Bruce Howard Asmus, James E. Mayberry
