Abstract: A method for treating at least one of an ophthalmic artery or an ostium between the ophthalmic artery and an internal carotid artery of a subject may include delivering a microcatheter to a location within vasculature of the subject. The method may further include delivering a filter to a location within at least one of the ophthalmic artery or the ostium and transitioning the filter between a first delivery configuration and a second deployed configuration. Further, the method may include deploying a stent to a location within the internal carotid artery.

Abstract: A method may include accessing a terminal branch of an ophthalmic artery through a face of a subject. Additionally, the method may include positioning a device within the ophthalmic artery of the subject and treating at least one of a blockage, a stenosis, a lesion, plaque or other physiology in at least one of the ophthalmic artery or a junction between an internal carotid artery and the ophthalmic artery.

Abstract: A method may include accessing a terminal branch of an ophthalmic artery through a face of a subject via first device. Additionally, the method may include positioning the first device or a second device within the ophthalmic artery of the subject and treating a blockage, a stenosis, a lesion, plaque or other physiology in the ophthalmic artery or a junction between an internal carotid artery and the ophthalmic artery.

Abstract: A method may include delivering a first catheter to a location within an arterial vasculature of a subject. The location may include at least one of an internal carotid artery of the subject or a junction between an ophthalmic artery of the subject and the internal carotid artery of the subject. The method also may include moving a second catheter relative to the first catheter so as to reorient a direction of a distal opening of the second catheter, the second catheter being connected to the first catheter at a joint.

Abstract: A method of treating an eye of a patient may include positioning an expandable strut structure within at least one of an internal carotid artery, an ophthalmic artery, or an ostium at a junction between the internal carotid artery and the ophthalmic artery. Additionally, the method may include directing blood flow towards the ophthalmic artery via a diverter element associated with the expandable strut structure.

Abstract: A method, device, or system for treating eye disorders or conditions, comprising restoring or increasing blood flow or blood flow rate in an artery that supplies blood to or in the eye, thereby increasing the amount of nutrient(s) that reaches the eye or a portion thereof. The invention also includes methods, devices, or systems for treating eye disorders or conditions which use reverse flow or retrograde flow structures and systems during the treatment of the eye disease.

Abstract: There is provided herein a disclosure and specification of invention(s) relating to devices and methods for percutaneous access and treatment of vascular structures in the rear of the eye, including treatment for the symptoms related to Wet Age Related Macular Degeneration by removal of stenosis of the OA, thereby restoring normal, or near normal, blood flow to the rear of the eye, including the retina and associated structures. Also provided herein is a disclosure and specification of invention(s) relating to methods and devices for selective manipulation of Intraocular Pressure (IOP) be means of mechanical force for the purpose of inducing retrograde flow in the ophthalmic vasculature.

Abstract: This application relates to cardiac medical devices, and specifically to adjustable tensioning devices for tissue anchors, to the intraventricular cardiac anchoring or banding devices themselves, to devices and methods for controlling the depth of penetration of tissue anchors, to devices and methods for the joining of both papillary muscles to the mitral valve, to devices and methods for non-invasive “sling” or “loop” tethering of papillary muscles, to devices and methods for establishing suction prior to and during tissue anchor implant, to a double-barreled needle delivery device, and to a method of remodelling the heart muscle by implanting one or more tethers, and then periodically reducing the tether distance over time.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for characterizing electrical activity of a patient for making a pregnancy-related diagnosis. The system includes a wearable device for measuring an electrical impedance of a cervical tissue of the patient based on a signal applied to the cervical surface by the device. The system also includes a transmitter coupled to the wearable device for transmitting the measured electrical impedance of the cervical tissue to an analysis system for making a pregnancy-related diagnosis based on the impedance data.
