Abstract: Some systems and methods for operating a vessel occlusion catheter may include a control and inflation device to control the filling of the balloon in such a manner that the vessel wall will not be overstressed while the safe occlusion of the blood vessel is achieved.

Abstract: Some embodiments of a balloon catheter device for introduction into a body vessel, in particular the coronary sinus, can include a catheter shaft which carries an inflatable balloon on its distal portion and in which a plurality of different lumens are formed. In particular embodiments, a system for treating heart tissue can include a coronary sinus occlusion catheter configured for improved deliverability to the coronary sinus and for thereafter performing intermittent occlusion of the coronary sinus.

Abstract: A massaging device includes a motor integrated with a housing, a shaft for transmitting the motor motion, a treatment head attachable to the shaft. The rotational speed of the motor can be measured as part of a control circuit. The rotational speed provides an actual value to the control circuit. A setpoint of the rotation speed of the motor can be manually adjusted. The control circuit is designed so that the current supplied to the motor is controlled depending on the difference between the instantaneous actual value and the selected setpoint.
