Publication number: 20220387766Abstract: An aortic occlusion and perfusion device includes an expandable member configured to expand within the aorta. A catheter extends proximally from the expandable member in fluid communication with the expandable member. The catheter defines openings through which blood can pass with one or more of the openings located proximal to the expandable member and one or more of the openings located within the expandable member. The catheter defines a lumen in fluid communication with the one or more openings located within the expandable member, the lumen terminating at a terminus such that the lumen is not in fluid communication with a distal end portion of the catheter. A flow control sheath is disposed around the catheter proximal to the expandable member such that axial movement of the flow control sheath relative to the catheter selectively occludes or uncovers the one or more openings located proximal to the expandable member.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2022Publication date: December 8, 2022Inventors: Kenneth Eliasen, Adam J. Yestrepsky

Patent number: 10478170Abstract: A delivery device for inserting a plurality of T-fastener-equipped sutures into a body of a patient in a spaced-apart configuration for the purpose of securing the stomach wall against the abdominal wall, also known as gastropexy, is disclosed. The suture delivery device is configured to deliver multiple sutures using a single needle and without need for reloading, saving time and effort for the clinician and simplifying the suture placement process. In one embodiment, a T-fastener-equipped suture delivery device comprises a housing, a hollow needle extending from the housing, and a plurality of T-fastener-equipped sutures at least partially disposed within one of the needle and the housing. An ejection assembly for successively ejecting the T-fasteners from a distal end of the needle without reloading the delivery device is also included in the housing.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2017Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: C.
