Patent number: 11969369Abstract: An endoprosthesis delivery system includes an expandable endoprosthesis including a side branch portal, a first primary sleeve releasably constraining a proximal portion of the expandable endoprosthesis to a collapsed configuration, a second primary sleeve in parallel with the first primary sleeve, the second primary sleeve releasably constraining a distal portion of the expandable endoprosthesis to the collapsed configuration, and a secondary sleeve within the first primary sleeve. Upon release of the first primary sleeve, the secondary sleeve releasably constrains the proximal portion of the expandable endoprosthesis to a partially expanded configuration allowing access to the side branch portal via the partially expanded proximal portion of the expandable endoprosthesis.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc.Inventors: Austin A. Byrne, Patrick M. Norris

Publication number: 20220211525Abstract: The present disclosure describes treatment of the vasculature of a patient with an expandable implant. The implant is constrained to a reduced delivery diameter for delivery within the vasculature by at least one sleeve. The implant can be constrained to other diameters, such as an intermediate diameter. The sleeves can be expanded, allowing for expansion of the diameter of the expandable implant, by disengaging a coupling member from the sleeve or sleeves from outside of the body of the patient. The expandable implant can comprise a steering line or lines which facilitate bending and steering of the expandable implant through the vasculature of a patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2022Publication date: July 7, 2022Inventors: Roberta A. Bloss, Dustin C. Burkart, Patrick M. Norris, Matthew G. Sondreaal, Stephanie M. Walsh

Publication number: 20210307905Abstract: Various examples relate to a transcatheter delivery system including a sheath, a delivery catheter, and an implantable device (e.g., a prosthetic valve, a stent, a stent graft, occluder, or vascular filter) maintained in a collapsed configuration by the delivery catheter. The delivery catheter includes a plurality of fiber guides separated by one or more reduced profile sections each having a smaller transverse outer profile than the transverse outer profiles of the fiber guides.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2021Publication date: October 7, 2021Inventors: David J. Arcaro, Jason T. Alger, Dustin V. Dienno, Joshua C. Haarer, Edward J. Hoopingarner, Patrick M. Norris, Benjamin A. Smith, Olga Baykova, Russell L. Jacoby
