Abstract: A vessel occluder used to occlude blood flow within the vasculature is described. The vessel occluder can include an expandable mesh portion having a flexible membrane that expands within a cavity of the expandable mesh portion. When expanded, the flexible membrane blocks blood passage through the mesh portion.

Abstract: Described herein are apparatus, compositions, systems and methods for occluding vascular structures and vascular malformations with radiopaque hydrogel filaments. The filaments can contain no support members and can be CT and MR compatible. Methods of forming such filaments are also disclosed.

Abstract: An embolic coil is described used for occlusive purposes in the vasculature is described. The embolic or occlusive coil utilizes different techniques to both enhance the occlusive effect of the coil within the vasculature and to help guide the embolic coil into its deployed shape in the vasculature.

Abstract: Improved methods, systems and apparatuses for extracting devices implanted within the vasculature of a patient are provided, including a method of extracting an intravascular device anchored in a vasculature of a patient, the device including a device body and a lead coupled to the device body, the lead having a distal end including an electrode, the distal end being fixed in a heart of the patient, the method comprising forming an incision in the vasculature, disconnecting the lead from the device body, removing the distal end of the lead from the heart, withdrawing the lead from the patient, disconnecting the device body from an anchor, and withdrawing the device body from the patient via the incision.

Abstract: A device for treating a heart may comprise a myocardial section configured to be positioned in a heart wall between a coronary vessel and a chamber of the heart and a vessel section configured to be positioned in the coronary vessel. The vessel section may be connected to the myocardial section and be configured to articulate relative to the myocardial section. The myocardial section and the vessel section may form an integral, single piece structure.
