Abstract: A method of buffering application data operable at a delivery control server is provided. Related systems and computer program products are also provided.

Abstract: A mobile device allows transmission of additional outgoing application data requests in response to occurrence of receipt of data transfer from a remote entity, user input in response to a prompt displayed to the user, and a change in a background status of an application executing on the mobile device. Additional outgoing application data requests are foreground application requests.

Abstract: A heart valve repair device may include a support configured to extend through a native annulus of a native heart valve, wherein the support comprises an upstream portion and a downstream portion; an annular expandable retainer extending from the upstream portion of the support, and an arm extending from the downstream portion of the support. The annular expandable retainer may include a C-shaped cross-section that is open inwardly. The arm may be configured to reach behind a leaflet of the native heart valve and sandwich the leaflet between the arm and the support.

Abstract: A method of achieving supra aortic access includes the steps of providing an assembly including a guidewire, an access catheter and a guide catheter, coaxially moveably assembled into a single multi-catheter assembly, coupling the assembly to a drive system, driving the assembly to an aortic arch, and advancing the access catheter to achieve supra-aortic access to a branch vessel off of the aortic arch.

Abstract: A method of performing a neurovascular procedure includes providing a multi-catheter assembly including an access catheter, a guide catheter, and a procedure catheter, coupling the assembly to a robotic drive system, driving the assembly to achieve supra-aortic access, and driving a subset of the assembly to a neurovascular site. The subset includes the guide catheter and the procedure catheter. The method further includes proximally removing the access catheter and performing a neurovascular procedure using the procedure catheter.

Abstract: A drive system for achieving supra-aortic access and neurovascular treatment site access includes a guidewire hub configured to adjust an axial position and a rotational position of a guidewire, a procedure catheter hub configured to adjust an axial position and a rotational position of a procedure catheter, a guide catheter hub configured to adjust an axial position of a guide catheter, and an access catheter hub configured to adjust an axial position and a rotational position of an access catheter, the access catheter further configured to laterally deflect a distal deflection zone of the access catheter.

Abstract: A method of performing a neurovascular procedure includes providing an assembly including a guidewire having a guidewire hub, an access catheter having an access catheter hub, and a guide catheter having a guide catheter hub. The method includes coupling the guidewire hub to a first hub adapter, coupling the access catheter hub to a second hub adapter, and coupling the guide catheter hub to a third hub adapter. Each of the first hub adapter, the second hub adapter and the third hub adapter is movably carried by a support table. The method includes driving the assembly in response to movement of each of the first hub adapter, the second hub adapter and the third hub adapter along the support table until the assembly is positioned to achieve supra-aortic vessel access.

Abstract: A mobile device allows transmission of additional outgoing application data requests in response to occurrence of receipt of data transfer from a remote entity, user input in response to a prompt displayed to the user, and a change in a background status of an application executing on the mobile device. Additional outgoing application data requests are foreground application requests.

Abstract: A catheter is provided which includes an outer catheter and an extendable inner catheter, dimensioned to produce an annular gap between the two catheters. A centering feature such as a plurality of projections is positioned between the inner catheter and the outer catheter to center the inner catheter.
