Publication number: 20230277297Abstract: Aortic repair devices and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. An aortic repair device configured in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include a base member configured to be implanted in an aorta proximate to a diseased portion of the aorta, such as an aneurysm or dissection. The base member can direct blood flow past the diseased portion of the aorta to perfuse a portion of the aorta distal of the diseased portion and/or various branch vessels. In some embodiments, one or more spanning members or other implants can be coupled (e.g., docked) to the base member during the same or a separate intravascular procedure to provide additional flow paths past the diseased portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: G Ray Martin, Steven Kim, Hanson Gifford, Katie Miyashiro, Doug Sutton, Anuja Harshadray Patel, Richard Roy Newhauser, JR.

Patent number: 9681988Abstract: A method is disclosed for clearing effusion from an ear. The method may include applying liquid to an ear canal, which is proximal to a perforated tympanic membrane, which is proximal to a middle ear containing effusion, applying an ear device to seal and pressurize the liquid inside the ear canal, the ear device regulating the amount of pressure inside the ear canal, and inducing a Eustachian tube, which is distal to the middle ear, to open, which causes the fluid to displace the effusion into the Eustachian tube.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2015Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: Acclarent, Inc.Inventors: John H. Morriss, Greg Liu, Rohit Girotra, Tom Thanh Vo, Richard Roy Newhauser, Jr., Thomas R. Jenkins, Joshua Makower

Patent number: 8261420Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus of reducing stress during stent manufacture. Particularly, the invention is directed to a method and apparatus for expanding a stent using primarily radial loads thereby reducing the stresses that are generated due to the axial loads applied during loading of the stent onto a mandrel or other expansion device. The method of the invention provides for the stepwise expansion of shape memory stents, while reducing the overall stresses that the stent encounters, and thereby improving manufacturing yields due to fractured struts during expansion.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2008Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignee: Abbott LaboratoriesInventors: Randolf Von Oepen, Travis Richard Yribarren, Richard Roy Newhauser, Rainer Bregulla

Patent number: 8246670Abstract: A system for delivering a medical device, such as an angioplasty balloon, includes two catheter shafts. The distal portion of a first shaft includes a first balloon and is narrower than the proximal portion. A second catheter shaft includes a second balloon and is connected to a medial portion of the first shaft. The second shaft includes a guidewire passageway which is in communication with the passageway of a third shaft that is removably connected to the first shaft. The distal tips of the first and second balloons are connected together to allow the system to be advanced to an anatomical site using a single guidewire. A second guidewire may be used to separate the distal ends of the balloons and to position the balloons at vascular bifurcation. A stent can be crimped onto the balloons such that inflation of the balloons implants the stent within the bifurcation.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2007Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Abbott Cardiovascular Systems Inc.Inventors: Randolf Von Oepen, Thomas Michael Rieth, Lorcan James Coffey, Richard Roy Newhauser, Travis Richard Yribarren

Publication number: 20120209368Abstract: A stent delivery catheter system for accurately positioning a stent in a bifurcated vessel is disclosed. The system includes a catheter having a terminal portion and distal tip that is placed in a main branch of the vessel proximate the bifurcation. A fixed guidewire is attached to distal tip. A port is defined in the terminal portion of the catheter. The port is aligned with an ostium of a side branch of the bifurcated vessel to allow the passage of a stent delivery device, such as a balloon catheter having a stent crimped thereon, into the side branch. Radiopaque bands are positioned on opposite ends of the port. A positioning balloon is included on a surface of the catheter opposite the port and is selectively inflatable to position the radiopaque bands adjacent the side branch ostium. The radiopaque bands are referenced to place the stent proximate the side branch ostium.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2012Publication date: August 16, 2012Applicant: ABBOTT LABORATORIESInventors: Randolf Von Oepen, Thomas Michael Rieth, Lorcan James Coffey, Richard Roy Newhauser, Travis Richard Yribarren
