  • Patent number: 11779362
    Abstract: A catheter for facilitating re-entry of a re-entry wire into a true lumen or into any desired region of a blood vessel may have an elongate shaft with a first lumen. A distal port and a first proximal port are fluidly coupled with the first lumen. A wire re-entry port is adjacent the distal end of the elongate shaft. The wire re-entry port has a re-entry axis. An ultrasound transducer on the catheter is configured to produce an image the blood vessel, and has a central axis that allows visualization of the re-entry wire as it exits the re-entry port and re-enters the true lumen. This allows the operator to ensure that the re-entry wire re-enters the true lumen in a desired location and does not damage the vessel.

  • Publication number: 20190307996
    Abstract: The procedure to place antegrade hemodynamic support (AHS) combine currently available procedures and devices in a unique fashion to solve a significant problem for patients who need large bore hernodynarnic support. The AHS procedure involves delivering an AHS device or a catheter connected to an AHS device to a patient's aorta in an antegrade fashion, alleviating the workload on the patient's heart and supporting the patient hemodynamically to maintain normal functions of the body organs.

  • Publication number: 20160166811
    Abstract: A thrombectomy and balloon angioplasty catheter for the removal of blood clots and debris from a blood vessel and/or for the dilation of a narrowed or completely closed segment in the blood vessel is disclosed. The catheter includes a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, an angioplasty balloon mounted to the shaft adjacent the distal end of the shaft, and an occlusion balloon mounted to the shaft at a location proximally spaced from the angioplasty balloon. A guide wire lumen is arranged on the shaft. The guide wire lumen extends from a first position adjacent the distal end of the shaft to a second position proximal the angioplasty balloon and distal the proximal end of the shaft.
