Patent number: 9533124Abstract: A catheter configured for performing reperfusion by alternatively occluding a vessel so as to prevent fluid flow and removing that occlusion to allow fluid flow is described. A first catheter includes an outer member and a retractable valve to allow and prevent fluid flow in the vessel. A second catheter includes a sheathed expansion member that can be deployed and recaptured to prevent and allow, respectively, fluid flow. A third catheter includes an angioplasty balloon to open a vessel occlusion, in which an occlusion balloon is used to allow and disallow fluid flow. A fourth catheter includes an expandable member for providing mechanical plunging action to urge thrombotic material to a more distal location. A fifth catheter includes an accessory catheter that can be used to perform reperfusion with another catheter. A sixth catheter includes an inner balloon within an outer balloon configured to perform reperfusion.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2011Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: Abbott Cardiovascular Systems Inc.Inventors: Matthew M. Mack, Jeffrey Allen Spaeder, Kevin Joe Ehrenreich, John L. Toner, Paul Macke Consigny, Syed Faiyaz Ahmed Hossainy, Shubhayu Basu

Publication number: 20150305974Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are described which control blood pressure and nervous system activity by stimulating baroreceptors. By selectively and controllably activating baroreceptors and/or nerves, the present disclosure, according to some embodiments reduces blood pressure and alters the sympathetic nervous system; thereby minimizing deleterious effects on the heart, vasculature and other organs and tissues. A baroreceptor activation device or other sensory activation device is positioned near a dermal bone to provide the treatment.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2015Publication date: October 29, 2015Inventors: Kevin Joe Ehrenreich, Randolf von Oepen, William Rehlich, Kelly Justin McCrystle

Publication number: 20150190307Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are described which control blood pressure and nervous system activity by stimulating baroreceptors. By selectively and controllably activating baroreceptors and/or nerves, the present invention reduces blood pressure and alters the sympathetic nervous system; thereby minimizing deleterious effects on the heart, vasculature and other organs and tissues. A baroreceptor activation device or other sensory activation device is positioned near a dermal bone to provide the treatment.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2015Publication date: July 9, 2015Inventors: Kevin Joe Ehrenreich, Randolf von Oepen, Kelly Justin McCrystle
