Publication number: 20210121678Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided for reducing pressure at an outflow of a duct such as the thoracic duct or the lymphatic duct. A catheter system can include a catheter shaft configured to be at least partially implantable within a patient's vein, a flexible membrane attached to the catheter shaft, the flexible membrane being a collapsible, tube-like member having a lumen extending therethrough, and a single selectively deployable restriction member formed over a portion of the flexible membrane at substantially a midpoint between a proximal end of the flexible membrane and a distal end of the flexible membrane, the restriction member being configured to control a size of the lumen so as to direct a controlled volume of fluid from an upstream side of the restriction member to a downstream side the restriction member.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2021Publication date: April 29, 2021Inventors: Yaacov Nitzan, Menashe Yacoby, Sagi Raz, Shani Chen, Or Inbar

Patent number: 10960189Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided for reducing pressure at an outflow of a duct, such as the thoracic duct or the lymphatic duct, for example, the right lymphatic duct. A catheter system can be configured to be at least partially implanted within a vein of a patient in the vicinity of an outflow port of a duct of the lymphatic system. The catheter system includes first and second selectively deployable restriction members each configured to be activated to at least partially occlude the vein within which the catheter is implanted and to thus restrict fluid within a portion of the vein. The catheter system includes an impeller configured to be driven by a motor to induce a low pressure zone between the restriction members by causing blood to be pumped through the catheter when the restriction members occlude the vein.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2017Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: White Swell Medical LtdInventors: Yaacov Nitzan, Sagi Raz, Shani Chen, Or Inbar

Publication number: 20210077247Abstract: A multi-component stent-graft system (10) comprises first, second, and third generally tubular stent-grafts (20, 22, 24), which are configured to assume radially-expanded states. The first stent-graft (20) is shaped so as to define a first lateral opening (34) when in its radially-expanded state. The second stent-graft (22) is shaped so as to define a second lateral opening (44) when in its radially-expanded state. The first and second stent-grafts (20, 22) are configured such that the second stent-graft (22) forms a blood-impervious seal with the first stent-graft (20) around the first lateral opening (34) when the second stent-graft (22) is disposed therethrough, and the first and the second stent-grafts (20, 22) are in their radially-expanded states.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2020Publication date: March 18, 2021Applicant: ENDOSPAN LTD.Inventors: Alon SHALEV, Sagi RAZ, Rafi BENARY

Patent number: 9417110Abstract: A biomedical tester includes a fluid-control container, shaped to define a fluid-control container port and a first interface surface defining fluid-control container apertures. A fluid controller is shaped to define a second interface surface defining controller ports. These elements and a motor are arranged to relative translation between the first and second interface surfaces; thereby effecting a time-varying overlap between subgroups of the system. Fixtures allow disposition therewithin of respective medical devices. Each of the fixtures includes one or more fixture first ports and fixture second ports. The fixture first ports are mounted in fluid Communication respective with the controller ports. A fluid pump includes first and second pump ports in fluid communication with the fixture second ports and the fluid-control container port, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2011Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: ENDOSPAN LTD.Inventors: Sagi Raz, Raphael Benary, Alon Shalev

Publication number: 20160157990Abstract: A branching stent-graft is deployed such that a distal end thereof is in a branching blood vessel, a proximal end thereof extends into a main blood vessel, and a coupling portion thereof transitions to a partially-radially-expanded state, in which the coupling portion defines a sharp tip at a proximal end of the branching stent-graft. A main stent-graft is transvascularly introduced into the main blood vessel in a radially-compressed state. After the branching stent-graft is deployed, and while the sharp tip remains stationary, the main stent-graft is transitioned to a radially-expanded state, such that the sharp tip punctures the main covering element as the main stent-graft transitions to the radially-expanded state, thereby forming a fenestration in the main covering element. The coupling portion is transitioned to a more-radially-expanded state, so as to form a blood-impervious seal between a branching covering element and a main covering element.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2016Publication date: June 9, 2016Applicant: ENDOSPAN LTD.Inventors: Alon SHALEV, Sagi RAZ
