Publication number: 20230218416Abstract: A fenestrated graft deployment system, with a delivery catheter having a catheter body, An endoluminal prosthesis having a main graft body, the main graft body having a lumen therethrough and a first opening laterally through a wall of the main graft body. A first guidewire prepositioned within the delivery catheter extending through at least a portion of the catheter body into a main lumen of the endoluminal prosthesis and through the first opening in the wall of the prosthesis when the delivery catheter is in a predeployed configuration. A first fenestration alignment device is configured to extend through at least a portion of the delivery catheter and is configured to be axially moveable relative to the first guidewire.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2022Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Kevin Mayberry, Craig Welk, Richard Monetti

Patent number: 11406518Abstract: A fenestrated graft deployment system, with a delivery catheter having a catheter body, a first fenestration alignment device, and an endoluminal prosthesis having a main graft body having a lumen therethrough and a first opening laterally therein. The first fenestration alignment device is configured to extend through at least a portion of the delivery catheter and is configured to be axially moveable relative to the first guidewire. The first fenestration alignment device can cause the main graft body adjacent to the first opening to move with the end of the first fenestration alignment device to allow an operator to align the first opening in the side of the endoluminal prosthesis with an ostium of a target branch vessel into which said first opening is to extend and act as a guide and seal for a subsequently delivered branch graft endoluminal prosthesis.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2017Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Endologix LLCInventors: Kevin Mayberry, Craig Welk, Richard Monetti

Patent number: 10857589Abstract: A complex coil and a fixture for forming same configured such that loops are formed having various configurations relative to each other. The configurations provide improved thrombus formation and reduced rotation or tumbling once implanted. The complex coil is formed of a material that may deformed for purposes of placing the complex coil into a catheter and returns to a complex shape that includes said loops once deployed.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2018Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: MicroVention, Inc.Inventors: Richard Monetti, George Martinez, Matthew J. Fitz, Damian Jonathan Perez

Publication number: 20080015541Abstract: Embolectomy catheters, rapid exchange microcatheters, systems and methods for removing clots or other obstructive matter (e.g., thrombus, thromboemboli, embolic fragments of atherosclerotic plaque, foreign objects, etc.) from blood vessels. This invention is particularly useable for percutaneous removal of thromboemboli or other obstructive matter from small blood vessels of the brain, during an evolving stroke or period of cerebral ischemia. In some embodiments, the embolectomy catheters of this invention are advanceable with or over a guidewire which has been pre-inserted through or around the clot. Also, in some embodiments, the embolectomy catheters include clot removal devices which are deployable from the catheter after the catheter has been advanced at least partially through the clot. The clot removal device may include a deployable wire nest that is designed to prevent a blood clot from passing therethrough.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2007Publication date: January 17, 2008Inventors: Robert Rosenbluth, George Green, Brian Cox, Thomas Sternweiler, Sean Chow, Richard Monetti
