  • Methods and apparatus for treatment of cardiac valve insufficiency
    Patent number: 8974445
    Abstract: Mitral valve insufficiency is treated by introducing an expansible device such as a balloon bearing an ultrasonic transducer into the heart so that the transducer is positioned adjacent the mitral annulus but spaced from the mitral annulus, and actuating the transducer to heat the mitral annulus, denature collagen in the annulus and thereby shrink the annulus.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: ReCor Medical, Inc.
    Inventors: Reinhard Warnking, Eugene J. Jung, Yong Zou, Jacques Seguin, Mano Iyer
  • APPARATUS FOR EFFECTING RENAL DENERVATION USING ULTRASOUND
    Publication number: 20140163540
    Abstract: An ultrasound apparatus is provided for non-continuous circumferential treatment of a vessel, such to provide denervation of a renal blood vessel. The apparatus may be positioned within a vessel to deliver broad unfocused or focused ultrasonic energy at first and second lengthwise and angular positions to create a less-than-full circumferential treatment zone at each of the first and second positions. Superimposition of treatment zones defines a non-continuous circumferential treatment zone without formation of a continuous circumferential lesion.
