Patent number: 11850173Abstract: The techniques of this disclosure generally relate to a modular stent device that is deployed into the ascending aorta via femoral access. The modular stent device is a base or anchor component to which additional modular stent devices can be attached to exclude diseased areas of the aorta while at the same time allowing perfusion of the brachiocephalic artery, the left common carotid artery, and/or the left subclavian artery.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Medtronic Vascular, Inc.Inventors: Keith Perkins, Zachary Borglin, Mark Stiger, Julie Benton, Steven Claessens, Travis Rowe, Mark Young

Patent number: 11826226Abstract: The techniques of this disclosure generally relate to a modular stent device including a main body configured to be deployed in the ascending aorta, a bypass gate configured to be deployed in the aorta, and a bifurcated contra limb. The bifurcated contra limb includes a single proximal limb that is bifurcated (split) into a first distal limb and a second distal limb. By forming the bifurcated contra limb to include a single proximal limb that is bifurcated into the distal limbs, guiding a guide wire into the relatively larger opening of bifurcated contra limb at a proximal end is simpler than guiding a guidewire into two smaller limbs extending distally from main body. Accordingly, cannulation of the bifurcated contra limb is relatively simple thus simplifying the procedure. In addition, the parallel design mimics anatomical blood vessel bifurcations to limit flow disruptions.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2019Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Medtronic Vascular, Inc.Inventors: Keith Perkins, Zachary Borglin, Mark Stiger, Julie Benton, Steven Claessens, Travis Rowe, Mark Young

Patent number: 11806224Abstract: The techniques of this disclosure generally relate to an assembly including a single branch stent device and a modular stent device configured to be coupled to the single branch stent device. The single branch stent device includes a main body and a branch coupling extending radially from the main body. The modular stent device includes a main body configured to be coupled inside of the main body of the single branch stent device, a bypass gate extending distally from a distal end of the main body of the modular stent device, and an artery leg extending distally from the distal end of the main body of the modular stent device.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Medtronic Vascular, Inc.Inventors: Keith Perkins, Zachary Borglin, Mark Stiger, Julie Benton, Steven Claessens, Travis Rowe, Mark Young

Patent number: 11684476Abstract: A venous valve prosthesis includes a frame and a prosthetic valve coupled to the frame. With the venous valve prosthesis implanted in a vein, the prosthetic valve includes a closed configuration wherein an outer surface of the prosthetic valve is in contact with a wall of the vein around a circumference of the prosthetic valve to prevent blood from flowing past the prosthetic valve between the wall of the vein and the outer surface of the prosthetic valve. The prosthetic valve is configured to move to an open configuration such that at least a portion of an outer wall of the prosthetic valve partially collapses away from the wall of the vein in response to antegrade blood flow through the vein to enable blood flow between the outer surface of the prosthetic valve and the wall of the vein.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Medtronic Vascular, Inc.Inventors: Jeffery Argentine, Todd Malsbary, Keith Perkins, Travis Rowe

Patent number: 11672645Abstract: The techniques of this disclosure generally relate to an assembly including a single multibranch stent device. The single multibranch stent device includes a main body, a proximal coupling extending radially from the main body, and a distal coupling extending radially from the main body. The main body, the proximal coupling, and the distal coupling are permanently coupled to one another and the single multibranch stent device is a single piece. By forming the single multibranch stent device as a single piece, the single multibranch stent device can be deployed in a single deployment thus simplifying the deployment procedure.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2021Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Medtronic Vascular, Inc.Inventors: Keith Perkins, Zachary Borglin, Mark Stiger, Julie Benton, Steven Claessens, Travis Rowe, Mark Young

Patent number: 11344402Abstract: The techniques of this disclosure generally relate to a stent-graft system including a bifurcated stent-graft, a first bifurcating branch device, and a first branch extension. The bifurcated stent-graft includes a body, a first branch limb, and a second branch limb. The first bifurcating branch device includes a body segment coupled to the first branch limb of the bifurcated stent-graft, a first branch limb, and a second branch limb. The first branch extension is within the first branch limb of the first bifurcating branch device and within an external iliac artery. The first bifurcating branch device has a wide patient applicability since the treatment can be extended proximal to the anatomical iliac bifurcation and is not limited by the common iliac artery length. The stent-graft system is suitable to treat a wide range of internal and external iliac artery diameters.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2020Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: Medtronic Vascular, Inc.Inventors: Keith Perkins, Travis Rowe, Mark Stiger, Mark Young, Julie Benton, Steven Claessens

Patent number: 11324582Abstract: The techniques of this disclosure generally relate to an assembly including a docking graft. The docking graft includes a main graft defining a main lumen, a first internal lumen within the main lumen, a second internal lumen within the main lumen, and a main docking lumen within the main lumen. The first and second internal lumens are configured to receive first and second bridging stent graft therein. The main docking lumen is configured to receive a tube graft therein. The first internal lumen, the second internal lumen, and the main docking lumen being parallel to one another and extending an entire length of the docking graft when the docking graft is in a relaxed configuration. The docking graft forms the foundation, or anchor device, for attachment of the first bridging stent graft, the second bridging stent graft, and the tube graft within the aorta.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2019Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Medtronic Vascular, Inc.Inventors: Keith Perkins, Mark Stiger, Travis Rowe
