Abstract:
A device, such as a catheter, for intraluminally delivering a distensible stent includes a first elongate tubular member having a proximal end and a distal end; a band circumferentially disposed over at least a circumferential portion of the first tubular member at the proximal end, the band having at least one projection for releasably engaging a portion of a radially distensible stent; and a second elongate tubular member slidably disposed over the first tubular member and the band. Desirably, the at least one projection is a low-profile, lobate-projection. shaped projection. The band may include two opposed projections, where the two opposed projections may be circumferentially disposed at about 180 from one and the other. Desirably, the band includes a metal, for example, stainless steel.

International Classification:
A61B 17/11 A61B 17/04
Abstract:
Devices, systems, and methods for drawing tissue walls together using a first tissue anchoring element and a second tissue anchoring element spaced apart from each other. The first tissue anchoring element is thinner than the second tissue anchoring element. The first tissue anchoring element may be a suture, optionally including a suture anchor. The second tissue anchoring element may be an expandable tissue anchoring element, such as a stent, expandable from a delivery configuration to a deployed configuration. The second tissue anchoring element may have a passage therethrough allowing passage of materials through the tissue walls, and creating an anastomosis therebetween.

International Classification:
A61F 2/91 A61F 2/86 A61L 31/10
Abstract:
A medical stent may include a tubular support structure including a plurality of struts defining a plurality of cells disposed between the plurality of struts. A polymeric coating may be disposed over the tubular support structure such that a first portion of the plurality of cells are closed by the polymeric coating in a first region of the tubular support structure and a second portion of the plurality of cells in a second region of the tubular support structure remain open to fluid flow and/or tissue ingrowth therethrough. The struts in the first region of the tubular support structure and the struts in the second region of the tubular support structure may be at least partially covered by the polymeric coating.

International Classification:
A61B 17/00 A61B 1/018 A61B 17/34 A61B 1/00
Abstract:
A medical device may include a shaft, and a first tool extending from a distal end of the shaft. The medical device also may include a control assembly coupled to the shaft. The control assembly may include a console, a first grip extending proximally from the console, and a second grip extending proximally from the console. The control assembly also may include a first deflection actuator configured to deflect the first tool about a longitudinal axis of the first tool, a first rotation actuator configured to rotate the first tool about the longitudinal axis of the first tool, and a first longitudinal actuator configured to move the first tool along the longitudinal axis of the first tool.

Abstract:
Methods and devices for treating a lung are disclosed. The method may include deploying a catheter into an airway of the lung, and discharging a media into the airway through the catheter. The media may be configured to increase elasticity of lung tissue in the vicinity of the airway or occlude the airway.

Abstract:
An endoprosthesis includes an expandable tubular framework having a first end, a second end, and a lumen extending therethrough along a longitudinal axis. The expandable tubular framework includes a plurality of interconnected struts. The interconnected struts include a radially outward face which includes a plurality of anti-migration grooves defining anti-migration teeth formed therebetween. The anti-migration teeth are configured to engage tissue to resist migration of the endoprosthesis within a body lumen.

Brother Jason Weiner, executive chef at Almond restaurant in the Flatiron District, on Saturday vehemently denied reports that he reached out to his siblings sexting pal to see if she planned to harm the candidate.
For the record, he also loved the eventual first-prize winner, the latke made by Almond chef Jason Weiner dubbed "Grandma Weiner's Potato Latkes." It was created with house-smoked bluefish, goat yogurt and dill. Tragically, I never got to taste it, since that station was on the main floor and closed
