Patent number: 10881495Abstract: A filter device includes: a shaft having an intermediate coil wire between a proximal filter wire and a distal filter wire; a proximal filter on the proximal filter wire; and a distal filter on the distal filter wire. The intermediate coil wire is disposed to extend between downstream and upstream blood vessels to pass through a path of placement that leads to another downstream blood vessel. Both the filters have a contracted configuration for being delivered into the blood vessel and an expanded configuration for capturing an embolus inside the blood vessel. The proximal filter is oriented such that an inlet opening, for taking in the embolus, of a proximal filter body in the expanded configuration faces the distal side, and the distal filter is oriented such that an inlet opening, for taking in the embolus, of a distal filter body in the expanded configuration faces the proximal side.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2015Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: ACCESS POINT TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Gordon Donald Hocking, Zhenghui Cheng

Patent number: 9981078Abstract: A left ventricular assist device includes an outer tube, which includes a ventricle section located in the left ventricle and an artery section located in the aorta, the ventricle section is provided with first suction meshes, and the artery section is provided with first discharge meshes, and the outer tube is in communication with an external drive device; a ventricular-side suction component provided in the ventricle section; and a discharge-section balloon catheter, is provided with second discharge meshes, and the second discharge meshes and the first discharge meshes are arranged to be staggered and not overlapped. With the suction and inflating of the external drive device, blood is sucked into the outer tube from the left ventricle by the ventricular-side suction component, and forced out of the outer tube into the aorta by the discharge-section balloon catheter, to pump blood in the left ventricle into the aorta.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2014Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignees: APT MEDICAL HUNAN INCInventors: Lijun Jin, Zhenghui Cheng, Shiping Yan

Patent number: 9763666Abstract: A left atrial appendage occlusion device and a delivery system are provided, wherein the left atrial appendage occlusion device includes a stent and an occluder. Firstly, the stent is implanted and fixed at the entrance of the left atrial appendage; then, a double-disc occluder is released on the stent to occlude the left atrial appendage. The left atrial appendage occlusion device includes a self-expandable nitinol stent, which is firmly fixed at the entrance of the left atrial appendage via a two-way anchoring thorn, and then an occluder is released on the stent. The left atrial appendage occlusion device is delivered to the left atrial appendage by the delivery system. Compared with the prior art, the delivery system improves the releasing accuracy and the implanting stability of the occluder. After being released, both the stent and the occluder can be withdrawn into a catheter to be relocated or replaced.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2013Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: APT MEDICAL INC.Inventors: Shulin Wu, Yuchen Qiu, Zhenghui Cheng, Xianglong Xiao

Publication number: 20130053882Abstract: To provide an embolic material excision trapping device capable of excising an embolic material in an arteriole or vessel without blocking the blood flow, and further, trapping the material with reliability. A device for removing an embolic material in a lumen in a living body has a long shaft member 1 having a front end and a base end and sending the front end to a distal end of the lumen, a filter member 5 which is provided on the front-end side of the shaft member 1, and contracts linearly inside a catheter for carrying the device while expanding when released into the lumen from the catheter, and a coil member 7 which is provided in the shaft member 1 on the side closer to the base-end side than the filter member 5, and contracts linearly inside the catheter while expanding spirally when released into the lumen from the catheter, where the coil member 7 destroys and traps an embolic material in the lumen, and the filter member 5 traps an liberated piece of the embolic material.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2010Publication date: February 28, 2013Applicant: ACCESS POINT TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Gordon Donald Hocking, Zhenghui Cheng

Publication number: 20040158311Abstract: A stent having a stent body and a embolic body is disclosed. The stent body is collapsible for insertion into a vessel or other lumen within a patient and is radially expanded at the site of an aneurysm so that the embolic body is received within the aneurysm to support and/or promote clotting within the aneurysm. The embolic body may also be collapsible and radially expandable.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2003Publication date: August 12, 2004Inventors: Steven W. Berhow, Zhenghui Cheng, Gordon Hocking
