Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a shunt catheter assembly for draining cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) into a venous system of a lower spinal region. The shunt catheter assembly includes a sheath having an interior volume, a catheter disposed in the interior volume of the sheath and movable relative to the sheath, a first flange coupled to the catheter and disposed between the catheter and the sheath, and a second flange proximally located relative to the first flange and disposed between the catheter and the sheath. The first and second flanges are expandable between a compressed configuration when the first and second flanges are disposed in the interior volume of the sheath, and an expanded configuration when the first and second flanges are externally disposed relative to the sheath. The first flange is separably deliverable relative to the second flange.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods for accessing a subdural space. In some embodiments, an apparatus may comprise a shaft configured to be slidably disposed within a lumen of a catheter. The shaft may be configured to be advanced distally from a distal end of the catheter and into a blood vessel of a subject. The shaft may include a perforating tip including an energy element configured to generate radiofrequency energy to form an opening through a wall of the blood vessel and dura of the subject and into an extravascular space of the subject. A curved section may be configured to be radially constrained within the lumen of the catheter and to curve toward the wall of the blood vessel and the dura upon exiting the lumen of the catheter such that the energy element is positioned to form the opening.

Abstract: Devices and methods are described for accessing an intracranial extravascular space of a patient. For example, this disclosure describes devices and methods for drainage of a subdural hematoma disposed within an intracranial extravascular space of a patient.

Abstract: Devices and methods are described for a minimally invasive procedure offering immediate relief of brain compression and prevention of subdural hematoma re-accumulation. For example, this disclosure describes devices and methods for embolization of bleeding branch vessels of the middle meningeal artery and subdural hematoma drainage in a single endovascular intervention using multimodal catheter-based technology.
