Publication number: 20140213971Abstract: Neuromodulation assemblies (200) include an extravascular prosthesis (202) disposed around and contacting at least a portion of an exterior surface (204) of a vessel (V) and a radially expandable intravascular prosthesis (206) contacting an interior surface (208) of the vessel. The neuromodulation assemblies are configured to compress, pinch, or squeeze a target nerve within the adventitia of the vessel between the extravascular and intravascular prostheses in order to impinge and disrupt the target nerve, thereby blocking or stopping nerve signal transduction. Neuromodulation assemblies configured in accordance with the present technology may also utilize radio-frequency energy, a drug, and/or magnetic attraction to block nerve signal transduction for neuromodulation thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2012Publication date: July 31, 2014Inventors: Mark J. Dolan, Lance Ensign, Joseph Berglund, Xin Weng, Lori Garcia, Benjamin J. Clark

Publication number: 20100129414Abstract: Described herein are methods for treating aneurysms, vascular occlusions, and vascular lesions. The methods comprise the use of an implantable medical device which includes a bioactive agent substrate associated with its surface. Liposomes are used to encapsulate the bioactive agent and are delivered either systemically or locally to the bloodstream. A means for liberating the bioactive agents from the liposomes is used once an appropriate location is chosen and the liposomes have distributed themselves through the vasculature. Once liberated, the bioactive agent can be sequestered by the bioactive agent substrate associated with the implantable medical device, and slowly released to impart a therapeutic effect on the surrounding tissues.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2008Publication date: May 27, 2010Applicant: Medtronic Vascular, Inc.Inventors: Mark J. Dolan, Dwayne S. Yamasaki

Publication number: 20100036471Abstract: A method of diagnosing and treating a patient having lower urinary tract symptoms caused by insufficient blood flow to the urinary bladder, the urethra, a nerve innervating the urinary bladder, or a nerve innervating the urethra due to atherosclerosis of a pelvic artery is disclosed. A method of diagnosing the patient's condition includes determining if a stenosis exists within a pelvic vessel. A method of treating the patient's condition may include placing a stent within the stenosed pelvic artery.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2008Publication date: February 11, 2010Applicant: Medtronic Vascular, Inc.Inventors: Mark J. Dolan, Dwayne S. Yamasaki

Patent number: 7651525Abstract: Intraluminal stent assemblies and methods of deploying the same. The assemblies include a catheter including at least one lumen formed therein. At least one inflatable member is disposed on the catheter and in communication with the lumen. The inflatable member includes at least one distal projection and/or at least one retention material. A stent is expandable from a compressed configuration to an expanded configuration. The stent is disposed on the inflatable member in the compressed configuration. A sheath is slidably positioned over the stent wherein the stent expands to the expanded configuration upon retraction of the sheath. The inflatable member is inflated with a fluid flowing through the lumen. The at least one distal projection and/or at least one retention material retain the stent in position on the inflatable member while the stent is being deployed.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2004Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignee: Medtronic Vascular, Inc.Inventor: Mark J. Dolan

Publication number: 20090248034Abstract: A method of diagnosing and treating a patient having benign prostatic hyperplasia caused by insufficient blood flow to the prostate due to atherosclerosis of a pelvic artery is disclosed. A method of diagnosing the patient's condition includes determining if a stenosis exists within a pelvic vessel. A method of treating the patient's condition may include placing a stent within the stenosed pelvic artery.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2008Publication date: October 1, 2009Applicant: Medtronic Vascular, Inc.Inventors: Mark J. Dolan, Dwayne S. Yamasaki

Patent number: 6920677Abstract: A method for manufacturing an endovascular support device comprises positioning a generally tubular member made of an implantable metal and having a generally cylindrical wall in a working relationship with a laser beam. A desired pattern is cut in the generally cylindrical wall in order to produce a stent having a plurality of openings and a plurality of edges. The stent is tumbled in a medium to round its edges and, in turn, to produce more rounded cross-sections of stent elements.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2003Date of Patent: July 26, 2005Assignee: Medtronic Vascular, Inc.Inventors: Mark J. Dolan, Justin Goshgarian

Publication number: 20040215220Abstract: The present invention provides an anastomotic apparatus for a bypass, including an anastomotic stent with a side port, a bridge conduit including a first end and a second end, and a second anastomotic stent including a side port. The first end of the bridge conduit is in communication with the side port of the first anastomotic stent, and the second end of the bridge conduit is in communication with the side port of the second anastomotic stent. The first anastomotic stent is positionable in a first vessel and the second anastomotic stent is positionable in a second vessel, and the bridge conduit provides a pathway for fluid flow between the first vessel and the second vessel.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2003Publication date: October 28, 2004Inventors: Mark J. Dolan, Jeffrey W. Allen, Sean T. Saint

Publication number: 20040215213Abstract: The present invention provides a stent-graft assembly. The assembly comprises at least one stent framework and a graft member. The graft member is positioned adjacent an inner surface of the stent framework and everted over an outer surface of the stent framework to enclose at least a portion of the stent framework. The assembly may further comprise a therapeutic agent that is enclosed by the graft member. Elution openings may be formed in the graft member to preferentially elute a therapeutic agent into the wall rather than the lumen of a vessel into which the stent-graft assembly is placed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2003Publication date: October 28, 2004Applicant: MEDTRONIC AVE.Inventor: Mark J. Dolan
