Abstract: Tissue ablation system for the internal treatment of parenchymal organs, hollow anatomical conduits or blood vessels (7); said system comprising an Electromagnetic (EM) wave generator (1) and a catheter (8-14, 16-40) with an active distal end; characterized by the fact that said generator (1) includes at least two EM wave outputs (3-6) and is adapted to provide three types of EM waves through said outputs (3-6), namely Radiofrequency (RF), Microwave (MW) and Laser (LS); said generator (1) furthermore comprising a processing unit that is programmed, among other things, to emit all three EM waves at the same time and control the interaction among them.

Abstract: The invention concerns a resection apparatus for native or bioprosthetic heart valves (6) comprising a leaflet grasping system (5,8) and a leaflet cutting device (9), said grasping system (5,8) and said cutting device (9) being coaxially and longitudinally movable relatively to each other and wherein said grasping system (5,8) is longitudinally oriented, characterized by the fact that the grasping system (5,8) comprises a fixed portion (5) and a rotating portion (8); said fixed portion (5) being adapted to grasp a leaflet face (6b) and said rotating portion (8) being adapted to grasp the opposite leaflet face (6a).

Abstract: The system allows optimizing the dispensing of aerosol medicaments. In particular the system allows the administration of an exogenous pulmonary surfactant to very young patients (e.g. preterm neonates). A catheter (101) conveys atomized surfactant directly to the retropharyngeal region in order to increase efficiency of the medicament administration without being invasive: this is particularly important for very young patients, such as pre-term born neonates suffering from neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome (nRDS). The catheter is made of biocompatible flexible material (e.g. plastic material). It is possible to couple the catheter with a rigid scaffolding (e.g. metallic) to increase stiffness of the device and to improve easiness of positioning operations. The delivery of the atomized medicament is done by means of an air blasting technique.
