  • Publication number: 20240130877
    Abstract: A method of deploying a multibranch stent graft at a target site having a main lumen and a first branch lumen is provided. The method includes advancing a catheter including a main body having a first portion and a second portion, the main body defining a first portal being pre-cannulated with a first guide member, partially deploying the first portion of the main body, advancing a first sheath along the first guide member through the first portal, advancing a first articulatable wire through the first sheath, positioning the first articulatable wire into a first branch lumen of the target site, partially deploying the second portion of the main body, fully deploying the first portion and the second portion of the main body, advancing a first side branch body along the first articulatable wire into the first branch lumen, and deploying the first side branch body in the first branch lumen.

  • Publication number: 20230270548
    Abstract: Implantable devices may include a single, first component or a plurality of components such as first and second components, the second component being flexibly coupled to the first component. A socket extends over one or more of the component(s), the socket being configured to enhance the inter-component interaction and/or including one or more exposed surface(s) configured to exhibit one or more tiers of foreign body responses within a range of possible foreign body responses.

  • Publication number: 20230255743
    Abstract: An implantable device comprising a main endoprosthesis configured for implantation in a vessel, the main endoprosthesis including at least one side portal, a first side-branch endoprosthesis configured to be deployed within the main endoprosthesis and direct flow through a first side-branch vessel via the at least one side portal, a second side-branch endoprosthesis configured to be deployed within the main endoprosthesis and direct flow through a second branch vessel via the at least one side portal, and wherein when not containing a side-branch endoprosthesis the at least one side portal comprises a side channel without fluid separation.

  • Publication number: 20220192654
    Abstract: The invention relates to tissue anchor in medical procedures. More specifically the invention relates to a tethered anchor. The tethered anchor includes a tether portion (108) that is elongate and extends between a first end and a second end, the tether portion being formed of a flat film construct; and an anchor portion (106) that defines a width that is greater than a width of the tether portion, the anchor portion being integrally formed with the tether portion of the flat film construct and extending continuously from the second end of the tether portion, the anchor portion having a first aperture (402) through which the tether portion extends.

  • Patent number: 10905576
    Abstract: Controlled deployable medical devices that are retained inside a body passage and in one particular application to vascular devices used in repairing arterial dilations, e.g., aneurysms. Such devices can be adjusted during deployment, thereby allowing at least one of a longitudinal or radial re-positioning, resulting in precise alignment of the device to an implant target site.
