Patent number: 6767323Abstract: The invention provides devices and methods for endoscopically cannulating the aorta, right atrium, and other body tissues to establish cardiopulmonary bypass for minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting surgery, and for other surgeries. After inserting the suction support through a minimal access port, the suction support having an arcuate member with suction ports provides countertraction to the aorta by creating a vacuum seal between its suction ports and the aorta, therefore facilitating aortic incision and cannulation. In one embodiment, the suction support allows aorta stabilization, incision, and insertion with an introducer to be achieved sequentially. Methods for using the devices herein are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2001Date of Patent: July 27, 2004Assignee: Edwards Lifesciences CorporationInventor: Lorraine Mangosong Martinez

Patent number: 6706033Abstract: Modular systems comprising a cannula and at least one access port adjacent to a distal end of the cannula provide insertion of one or more therapeutic or diagnostic devices into a vessel or cardiac tissue through a single incision site. Other embodiments include a vessel introducer or multi-port introducer. The devices can be operated in combination or independently. The systems can be employed to provide multiple therapies, including blood perfusion, filtration, aspiration, vessel occlusion, atherectomy, and endoscopic devices. Methods of using the system for vessel cannulation are also disclosed herein.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 1999Date of Patent: March 16, 2004Assignee: Edwards Lifesciences CorporationInventors: Lorraine Mangosong Martinez, Jobert Balceta, Kevin Hahnen, Bruce Addis, Timothy J. Wood, Roman Turovskiy, Richard O. Murphy, Tracy D. Maahs

Patent number: 6689152Abstract: An introducer system having an elongate shaft with proximal and distal ends. A flexible sleeve is mounted on the distal end of the shaft and is adapted to circumferentially cover the outer surface of a distal end of a cannula when the shaft is positioned within a lumen of the cannula. The introducer system has dilation capabilities which facilitates insertion of a medical device into a vessel or organ. Methods of using the devices herein are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2003Date of Patent: February 10, 2004Assignee: Edwards Lifesciences Corp.Inventors: Jobert P Balceta, Lorraine Mangosong

Patent number: 6645193Abstract: A cannula system having an internally slidable elongate tubular member frictionally anchored within a trocar, and optionally including a flange which acts as a positive stop against the trocar, that can be deployed for various treatments, including aortic cannulation during cardiopulmonary bypass, for example during CABG surgery. The tubular member has a proximal end, a lumen, and a flexible distal end which carries a preformed angled configuration relative to its proximal region and is bendable to a substantially linear configuration. The rigid trocar maintains the cannula in a substantially linear configuration. When the cannula is advanced through the lumen beyond the distal end of the trocar, the tubular member regains its angled configuration. Methods for using the devices herein are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2001Date of Patent: November 11, 2003Assignee: Edwards Lifesciences LLCInventor: Lorraine Mangosong
