Publication number: 20240050716Abstract: A balloon catheter includes an elongate shaft, a balloon, and one or more biasing members. The elongate shaft has a proximal end and a distal end. The balloon is attached to the elongate shaft at the distal end of the elongate shaft. The balloon includes a balloon chamber for receiving inflation fluid. The one or more biasing members are connected to the balloon. The one or more biasing members move to a non-biased state when the balloon is inflated and move to a biased state when the balloon is deflated such that the one or more biasing members cause the balloon to return to an original shape of the balloon.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventor: Jihad Ali Mustapha

The plurality of wire segments can include a plurality of wire links, with each wire link having a variable strength (or variable stiffness (e.g., flexibility). In another aspect, a device for crossing a lesion in a tissue lumen is provided having a predetermined pattern of variable strength from a proximal end to a distal end of the crossing wire.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventor: Jihad Ali Mustapha

Patent number: 11877762Abstract: A retrieval device can include inwardly facing protruding features that facilitate engagement and capture of a thrombus or other mass from a body lumen of a patient. The protruding features can deploy from a frame of the retrieval device to extend radially inwardly toward an opposing side of the frame. When deployed into a thrombus, the protruding features engage and urge the thrombus as the retrieval device moves to facilitate capture.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2020Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: REFLOW MEDICAL, INC.Inventors: John Fulkerson, Isa Rizk, Jihad Ali Mustapha, Teodoro S. Jimenez, Jr., Patrick Lo

Publication number: 20230248558Abstract: Delivery systems for expandable elements, such as stents or scaffolds having spikes, flails, or other protruding features for penetrating target tissue and/or delivering drugs within a human patient are described along with associated methods for using such systems. The delivery systems can be provided with a stent that is positioned over an inflatable balloon for expansion and delivery of the stent to a target delivery location. By positioning the stent over and about the inflatable balloon, the stent is ready to be expanded by the balloon immediately upon unsheathing with respect to the outer shaft. Additionally or alternatively, a stent can be positioned in an axially offset arrangement with respect to a balloon to reduce the need for space required by overlapping components.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Teodoro S. Jimenez, Jr., Patrick Lo, John Fulkerson, Isa Rizk, Francisco Aguayo, Jihad Ali Mustapha, Gary Ansel

Publication number: 20220161006Abstract: A peripheral artery balloon is provided that includes a distal end having a first outer diameter, a proximal end having a second outer diameter that is larger than the first outer diameter, and an extended portion that extends from the distal end to the proximal end, the extended portion having an outer diameter that gradually increases from the first outer diameter of the distal end to the second outer diameter of the proximal end. The distal end, proximal end, and extended portion of the peripheral artery balloon are sized to mimic a varying diameter of a natural artery. A hypo-tube for preparing a peripheral artery balloon is also provided, as well as a method of remodeling and/or treating arteries after an atherectomy and/or during an angioplasty using a peripheral artery balloon.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2021Publication date: May 26, 2022Inventors: Jihad Ali MUSTAPHA, Ali Jihad MUSTAPHA

Patent number: 11253379Abstract: Expandable elements having drug-delivery features and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a drug-eluting stent includes a radially expandable cylindrical frame having a plurality of struts. The frame is transformable between a low-profile delivery state and an expanded deployed state. A plurality of drug-delivery features are carried by one of the struts and configured to deliver a drug to a treatment site within the patient or piercing through the tissue wall to break the constricting of the vessel wall inwardly. When the frame is in the expanded state within a body lumen of the patient, the drug-delivery features extend radially outwardly away from the strut and are configured to engage and, in some arrangements, pass through a wall of the body lumen.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2019Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: ReFlow Medical, Inc.Inventors: John Fulkerson, Isa Rizk, Jihad Ali Mustapha, Teodoro S.
