  • Publication number: 20250025181
    Abstract: Methods and devices for treatment of a patient's cerebral aneurysm is described. The device includes a permeable shell having a radially constrained elongated state configured for delivery within a catheter lumen, an expanded state with a longitudinally shortened configuration relative to the radially constrained state, and a plurality of elongate filaments that are woven together to form a mesh. The proximal ends of each of the plurality of filaments are gathered by a proximal hub and the distal ends of each of the plurality of filaments are gathered by a distal hub. The proximal portion of the permeable shell includes a swellable polymer. The method includes advancing the implant in a microcatheter to a region of interest in the cerebral vasculature, deploying the implant within the cerebral aneurysm, and withdrawing the microcatheter from the region of interest after deploying the implant.

  • Patent number: 12127938
    Abstract: Assemblies and delivery apparatus for delivering a medical device into a patient's vasculature are disclosed. In some examples, an assembly includes a delivery apparatus and a radially compressible and expandable prosthetic heart valve. The delivery apparatus includes a handle, a first shaft and a second shaft extending from the handle, and a locking mechanism to prevent axial movement of the second shaft relative to first shaft. The second shaft extends coaxially through the first shaft and includes, at a distal end portion thereof, a balloon, one or more radiopaque markers, and the prosthetic valve radially compressed over the balloon. A flared end piece extending from the first shaft covers a proximal portion of the balloon during advancing of the delivery apparatus through a patient's vasculature. The first shaft is retractable relative to the second shaft to expose the balloon from the flared end piece.

  • Publication number: 20240341788
    Abstract: A device and method for intravascular treatment of an embolism, and particularly a pulmonary embolism, is disclosed herein. One aspect of the present technology, for example, is directed toward a clot treatment device that includes a support member having a plurality of first clot engagement members and second clot engagement members positioned about the circumference of a distal portion of the support member. In an undeployed state, individual first clot engagement members can be linear and have a first length, and individual second clot engagement members can be linear and have a second length that is less than the first length. The clot engagement members can be configured to penetrate clot material along an arcuate path and hold clot material to the clot treatment device.

  • Publication number: 20240335287
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for use with a valve of a heart. An implant (100) includes a wing (120); a flexible frame (124); and a pair of anchor receivers (150). A pair of shafts (660) are transluminally advanced through a catheter (40), while the shafts are each engaged with a respective anchor receiver (150), to deploy the implant out of the catheter such that the wing extends away from the anchor receivers and over a first leaflet of the valve and toward an opposing leaflet of the valve, with a contact face (122) of the wing facing the first leaflet. A pair of drivers (70) secure the implant using a pair of anchors (30) to anchor each anchor receiver to tissue at respective sites of the heart. Other implementations are also described.

  • Publication number: 20240325162
    Abstract: Spinal surgical procedures for implanting intervertebral devices, and associated devices and systems are described herein. A representative spinal surgical procedure can include gaining access to a diseased disc of a spine of a patient via a minimally-invasive a lateral, transpedicular, transfacet, or transforaminal access pathway. Various instruments can be inserted through the trocar to (i) remove some or all of the diseased disc, (ii) expand a disc space around the diseased disc, (iii) insert an intervertebral device into the disc space, and/or (iv) fill the intervertebral device with a fill material. Each of the aforementioned steps can be performed through the minimally-invasive access pathway provided by the trocar. This can minimize disruption to the flesh of the patient—minimizing patient pain and recovery time.
