  • Publication number: 20240325183
    Abstract: A stent graft delivery method includes tracking a stent graft in a delivery state within a stent graft cover along a first guidewire to a deployment site within an aorta. The stent graft defines a side opening. The method includes extending a second guidewire through the side opening. The method further includes retracting the stent graft cover to retract a second guidewire lumen of the second guidewire.

  • Patent number: 12048640
    Abstract: A stent graft delivery system including a stent graft cover, a screw gear, and a handle assembly. The handle assembly includes an external slider, a T-tube, and a Y-adapter. The external slider is configured to rotate about the screw gear. The T-tube and the Y-adapter collectively form a hub configured to slide linearly along the screw gear as the external slider rotates. The T-tube defines a main lumen port extending therethrough and is configured to receive the stent graft cover and a main lumen. The Y-adapter defines a secondary lumen port and is configured to receive a secondary lumen.

  • Publication number: 20240033068
    Abstract: An endovascular stent graft cover for delivering a stent graft to a target deployment site. The endovascular stent graft cover includes a tubular inner layer and a tubular outer layer. The stent graft cover also includes a tubular torsion layer disposed between the tubular inner layer and the tubular outer layer. The tubular torsion layer includes first wires and second wires. The first wires have a flat profile along a first longitudinal axis of the first wires. The second wires have a circular profile along a second longitudinal axis of the second wires. The tubular torsion layer is configured to radially align at the target deployment site the stent graft loaded into a distal portion of the stent graft cover.

  • Publication number: 20220304837
    Abstract: A stent graft delivery system includes a stent graft and a thermal stent graft cutter for shortening the stent graft to a desired length in vivo. The thermal stent graft cutter is coupled to at least one of a stent graft cover at a distal longitudinal end of a cover body thereof, and the inner lumen tip of an inner lumen. A safety system allows activation of the stent graft cutter only when the stent graft is suitably sandwiched between the inner lumen tip and the distal end of the stent graft cover to inhibit inadvertent activation of the cutter and provide for proper cutting of the stent graft.

  • Patent number: 11357652
    Abstract: A stent graft delivery system and method of operating the same are disclosed. The system includes a stent graft cover, a screw gear, and a handle assembly. The handle assembly includes an external slider configured to rotate about the screw gear, and a central hub configured to slide linearly along the screw gear as the external slider is rotated. The central hub defines a main lumen port extending therethrough and configured to receive the stent graft cover, and a branched lumen port configured to receive a branched lumen. The stent graft cover can be fixed to and within the main lumen port. Rotation of the handle causes the central hub to slide linearly, which simultaneously retracts the stent graft cover and the branched lumen.
