Patent number: 11389638Abstract: A hemodynamic flow assist device includes a miniature pump, a basket-like cage enclosing and supporting the pump, and a motor to drive the pump. The device is implanted and retrieved in a minimally invasive manner via percutaneous access to a patient's artery. The device has a first, collapsed configuration to assist in implantation and a second, expanded configuration once deployed and active. The device is deployed within a patient's aorta and is secured in place via a self-expanding cage which engages the inner wall of the aorta. The device includes a helical screw pump with self-expanding blades, sensors, and anchoring structures. Also disclosed is a retrieval device to remove the hemodynamic flow assist device once it is no longer needed by the patient and an arterial closure device to close the artery access point after implantation and removal of the hemodynamic flow assist device.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2018Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: Hridaya, Inc.Inventors: Sanjaya Khanal, Joseph Kaminski

Publication number: 20110135672Abstract: It has been discovered that HLA-G dimers are potent ligands of ILT2 and ILT4 on immune cells and enhance signal transduction through ILT2 and ILT4. Enhanced signal transduction through ILT-2, ILT-4 or both down-regulates the biological activity of T cells and dendritic cells. HLA-G compositions including HLA-G dimers are provided that are useful for modulating activity of immune cells. Preferred compositions include microparticles having HLA-G dimers on the surface of the microparticles. The microparticles optionally include a targeting moiety to target the microparticles to specific immune cells. In a preferred embodiment the microparticles are targeted to T cells or dendritic cells expressing ILT2 or both ILT2 and ILT4, respectively. The HLA-G dimer can include any HLA-G protein that is capable of forming a dimer. Preferred HLA-G proteins include HLA-G1 and HLA-G5. In certain embodiments the microparticles include dimers of HLA-G1 and HLA-G5.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2010Publication date: June 9, 2011Inventors: Anatolij Horuzsko, Joseph Kaminski
