Publication number: 20030083693Abstract: An emboli capturing system captures emboli in a body lumen. A first elongate member has a proximal end and a distal end. An expandable emboli capturing device is mounted proximate the distal end of the first elongate member, and is movable between a radially expanded position and a radially contracted position. When in the expanded position, the emboli capturing device forms a basket with a proximally opening mouth. A second elongate member has a proximal and a distal end with a lumen extending therebetween. The lumen is sized to slidably receive a portion of the first elongate member. An expandable delivery device is mounted to the distal end of the second elongate member and is movable from a radially retracted position to a radially expanded position. The delivery device has a receiving end configured to receive the emboli capturing device, and retains at least the mouth of the emboli capturing device in a radially retracted position.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2002Publication date: May 1, 2003Applicant: SCIMED LIFE SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: John M. K. Daniel, Thomas E. Broome, David J. Holtan, Robert L. Cassell, Daniel O. Adams

Publication number: 20020128681Abstract: A device adapted for deployment in a body vessel for collecting floating debris and emboli in a filter. The device includes a collapsible proximally tapered frame for operably supporting the filter between a collapsed insertion profile and an expanded deployment profile. The tapered collapsible frame includes a mouth which is sized to extend to walls of the body vessel in the expanded deployed profile to seal the filter relative to the body vessel for collecting debris floating in the body vessel.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2002Publication date: September 12, 2002Applicant: SCIMED LIFE SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Thomas E. Broome, John M.K. Daniel, Thomas R. Hektner

Patent number: 6443158Abstract: A bypass system for bypassing a restriction in a parent vessel of a mammal to provide blood flow past the restriction. The bypass system couples a restricted artery to a venous vessel distal of a restriction to provide blood flow through the artery distal of the restriction. Blood flow is provided to a distal portion of the artery through an adjacent venous vessel so that blood can be provided to distal portions of the restricted artery.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 1998Date of Patent: September 3, 2002Assignee: SciMed Life Systems, Inc.Inventors: Daniel M. LaFontaine, Kent D. Harrison, Chad J. Kugler, John M. K. Daniel

Patent number: 6053932Abstract: An emboli capturing system captures emboli in blood flowing in the vasculature. The emboli capturing system includes a guidewire having a longitudinal axis and defining a lumen along at least a portion thereof. An expandable member is coupled to a distal portion of the guidewire and has an interior being in fluid communication with the lumen in the guidewire. The expandable member is configured to receive fluid through the lumen to expand radially outwardly relative to the guidewire and have fluid removed from the interior thereof to collapse radially inwardly relative to the guidewire. The expandable member, when expanded, has a spaced portion thereof spaced radially outwardly from the guidewire. An emboli capturing device is coupled to the expandable member and is configured to deploy radially outwardly relative to the guidewire upon expansion of the expandable member.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 1998Date of Patent: April 25, 2000Assignee: SciMed Life Systems, Inc.Inventors: John M.
