Publication number: 20220280276Abstract: There is disclosed a porous emboli deflector for preventing cerebral emboli while maintaining cerebral blood flow during an endovascular or open surgical procedure. The device prevents the entrance of emboli of a size able to cause stroke (such as greater than 100 microns) from entering either the right or left common carotid arteries, and/or the right or left vertebral arteries by deflecting emboli downstream of these vessels. The device can be placed prior to any manipulation of the heart or aorta allowing maximal protection of the brain during the index procedure. The deflector has a low profile within the aorta which allows sheaths, catheters, or wires used in the index procedure to pass. Also disclosed are methods for insertion and removal of the deflector.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2022Publication date: September 8, 2022Inventors: Judith T. Carpenter, Jeffrey P. Carpenter, David A. Rezac, Jeffrey C. Cerier, Richard C. Fortier, Timothy W. Robinson

Publication number: 20130267993Abstract: An embolism deflection device and method for preventing embolization during a surgical procedure include a dome-shaped deflector, a catheter coupled to the deflector, and a delivery sheath. The deflector includes a frame and porous cover, the cover permitting blood flow therethrough while blocking emboli. The deflection device is deployable from a branch vessel to cover an ostium of the branch vessel to block emboli from a main vessel from entering the branch vessel.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2013Publication date: October 10, 2013Inventor: Judith T.

Patent number: 8460335Abstract: Disclosed is a blood debris deflector, for preventing embolization during a surgical procedure, and methods for insertion and removal of the deflector. The method can include the steps of advancing an embolic deflection device through a first side branch vessel and into the main vessel, manipulating the deflection device such that it covers the opening to a second side branch vessel, and inverting the deflection device to remove the device from a patient.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2006Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignees: Embrella Cardiovascular, Inc., Edwards Lifesciences AGInventor: Judith T.

Patent number: 7144421Abstract: An endovascular prosthesis comprising a first end section, a second end section and a midsection. The midsection has a diameter less than the diameter of the first end section and the second end section. At least the first end section and the second end section have lateral support preferably in the form of a stent which may also act as anchoring. The reduced diameter midsection is provided with at least one side port which is adapted to be connected to a branch endograft to provide a connection between the side port and the native branch artery. The side ports are arranged to correspond with the native branch arteries and are provided with radiographic markers at their proximal and distal ends. The side ports with the radiographic markers provide an effective means of making the connection to the native branch by a branch endograft without having to align the side ports exactly to the branch arteries and without kinking of the side ports.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2003Date of Patent: December 5, 2006Inventors: Judith T. Carpenter, Jeffrey P. Carpenter
