Publication number: 20240091006Abstract: An implantable medical device is adapted to be implanted at an implantation site within the vasculature and is capable of being implanted at the implantation site within the vasculature at more than one position relative to the implantation site. This may include a relative axial position and/or a relative rotational position. The implantable medical device includes an expandable frame that is adapted to expand from a collapsed configuration for delivery to an expanded configuration for deployment, and one or more radiopaque markers disposed relative to the expandable frame such that fluoroscopic imaging of the implantable medical device during deployment provides an indication of a position of the implantable medical device relative to the implantation site. The implantable medical device may be a replacement cardiac valve such as a replacement aortic valve, for example.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: James M. Anderson, Kelsey Rae Cooper, Joshua Stephan Havel, Levi Joel Wolterstorff, Shilpika Chowdhury

Publication number: 20220273475Abstract: An attachment mechanism for a medical implant system may include a first part fixedly attached to a distal end of an elongate shaft, the first part having a first longitudinal lumen configured to slidably receive a release wire disposed within the elongate shaft, and a second part fixedly attached to a proximal end of a medical implant, the second part having a second longitudinal lumen configured to slidably receive the release wire. A tubular distal portion of the second part may include an engagement feature configured to non-releasably engage the second part with the medical implant.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2022Publication date: September 1, 2022Applicant: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Nicholas Lee Tassoni, Kelsey Rae Cooper, Thomas P. Jancaric, John D. Kroeger, Eric Dinges, Reggie Roth, John L. Teschendorf, David B. Morris

Publication number: 20190262001Abstract: An occlusive medical device such as a vascular implant includes a terminal portion including a first plurality of strut segments that are each joined together at a distal end thereof to form a closed end of the frame, an intermediate portion including a second plurality of strut segments, the second plurality of strut segments including a greater number of strut segments than the first plurality of strut segments, and a main portion including a third plurality of strut segments, the third plurality of strut segments including a greater number of strut segments than the second plurality of strut segments. The occlusive medical device may have an expanded configuration in which the second plurality of strut segments and the third plurality of strut segments together form a plurality of cells.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2019Publication date: August 29, 2019Applicant: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Thomas P.
