  • Publication number: 20230380915
    Abstract: A robotic procedure system for treating neurovasculature of a patient including a guide sheath, catheter system having a support catheter and a navigation catheter, and robotic drive system configured to drive the catheter system within a patient's vessel. The robotic drive system includes a cassette with at least a first set of rollers and at least a second set of rollers and a controller operatively coupled to the cassette. The first set of rollers is configured to engage a proximal control element of the support catheter and the second set of rollers configured to engage a proximal extension of the navigation catheter. The controller is configured to control the first set and second set of rollers so as to determine a magnitude of linear translation of the support catheter and a magnitude of linear translation of the navigation catheter. Related devices, systems, and methods are provided.

  • Patent number: 10456123
    Abstract: A closure system for delivering a sealant to an arteriotomy. A distal section of the closure system can include overlapping inner and outer sleeves that can expand with expansion of the sealant. A proximal section of the closure system can include a handle portion and a sheath adapter extending from the handle portion. The handle portion can include one or more actuators that when depressed or engaged can assist in deployment of the sealant in the arteriotomy and can further include tamping of the sealant and/or retraction of an expandable member. The sheath adapter can removably engage a side port or an irrigation line of a standard procedural sheath. When the sheath adapter is secured to the procedural sheath, movement of the closure system can also move the procedural sheath.

  • Publication number: 20140100646
    Abstract: A method of treating an injured blood vessel of a patient may first involve inflating a balloon of an access wire balloon catheter within the injured blood vessel to reduce blood flow past an injury site in the vessel. After inflation, the method may involve attaching an extension wire to an extra-corporeal end of the access wire balloon catheter that resides outside the patient. When the extension wire is attached, an inflation port of the access wire device is disposed outside the patient and between a free end of the extension wire and the balloon of the access wire balloon catheter. The method may further include advancing at least a first treatment catheter into the blood vessel over the access wire balloon catheter and at least a portion of the extension wire and treating the injured blood vessel using the first treatment catheter.

  • Publication number: 20140058433
    Abstract: Methods and devices are adapted for regulating fluid flow to and from a region of a patient's lung, such as to achieve a desired fluid flow dynamic to a lung region during respiration and/or to induce collapse in one or more lung regions. Pursuant to an exemplary procedure, an identified region of the lung is targeted for treatment. The targeted lung region is then bronchially isolated to regulate airflow into and/or out of the targeted lung region through one or more bronchial passageways that feed air to the targeted lung region.

  • Publication number: 20110092767
    Abstract: Disclosed is a sizing device for sizing an inside diameter of a lung passageway. The device includes an elongate shaft configured for positioning in the lung passageway and a sizing element at the distal end of the shaft. The sizing element defines a range of transverse dimensions that correspond to a range of transverse dimensions suitable for use with a predetermined set of bronchial isolation devices. The device is used to determine the suitability of a bronchial isolation device for use in the lung passageway prior to using a separate delivery catheter to deliver the bronchial isolation device into the lung passageway.
