Patent number: 10080677Abstract: A device for inducing weight loss in a patient includes a tubular prosthesis self-expandable from a collapsed position in which the prosthesis has a first diameter to an expanded position in which the prosthesis has a second, larger, diameter. In a method for inducing weight loss, the prosthesis is placed in the collapsed position and inserted into a stomach of a patient. The prosthesis is allowed to self-expand from the collapsed position to the expanded position and into contact with the walls of the stomach, where it induces feelings of satiety and/or inhibits modulation of satiety-controlling factors such as Ghrelin.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2016Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Richard Stack, Richard Glenn, Trevor Moody, Fred Silverstein, Nathan Every, William Eubanks, Jr.

Patent number: 8452375Abstract: Systems and methods for locating and defining a target location within a human body. The system can include at least one marker, a probe, and a detector for use in locating the markers by providing information to a surgeon that is representative of changes in proximity between the probe and the marker. The marker can have various detection characteristics, e.g., gamma radiation, that are detectable by an associated probe and detector. The tissue volume is removed by manipulating a cutting tool based on the proximity information provided by the detector, which can be used by the surgeon to define the boundary of the tissue volume. The systems and methods of the invention are particularly useful in locating and then removing a tissue volume or other target location from amorphous, pliable tissue (e.g., breast tissue) or other body parts.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2003Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Varian Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: David Krag, Eric Meier, Steve Dimmer, Duane Durbin, Trevor Moody, Fred Silverstein, Rosemary Harry, Richard Frecksa, Amy Kinsella, Jon Gilbert

Publication number: 20080208169Abstract: A percutaneous treatment catheter comprises a canopy (12) having a treatment side adapted to provide at least one of a variety of treatments to a first tissue layer and a protection side that protects adjacent tissue from the treatment. Treatments include, but are not limited to, those that act to cause an inflammatory response resulting in forming scar tissue that would tend to form adhesions, such as, but not limited to, for the treatment of pleural effusions. In an embodiment, a treatment catheter comprises a shaft (20) having a shaft and a treatment head (10) disposed about the shaft distal end, the treatment head adapted to present a low profile in a closed state and a broad profile in a 10 deployed state, the treatment head adapted to percutaneously treat one of first and second tissue layers and protect the other of the first and second tissue layers from the treatment.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2004Publication date: August 28, 2008Inventors: Edward Boyle, Nathan Every, Fred Silverstein, Steven Tallman, Trevor Moody
