International Classification:
A61B 17/3207
Abstract:
The present invention comprises at least sensing, monitoring, and display of motor current which is then used in various embodiments of a rotational atherectomy device to determine and/or predict, among other things, treatment progression, treatment completion, optimal rotational speed, optimal advancement or traversal speed during treatment, whether stall appears imminent, and/or reacting to stop motor rotation before a stall occurs. In some embodiments, the determination or prediction results in an automatic, or preprogrammed adjustment by the control unit of the rotational speed of the rotating drive shaft and associated tool.

International Classification:
A61F 2/24
Abstract:
Embodiments of delivery systems, devices and methods for delivering a prosthetic heart valve device to a heart chamber for expanded implementation are disclosed. More specifically, methods, systems and devices are disclosed for delivering a self-expanding prosthetic mitral valve device to the left atrium, with no engagement of the left ventricle, the native mitral valve leaflets or the annular tissue downstream of the upper annular surface during delivery, and in some embodiments with no engagement of the ventricle, mitral valve leaflets and/or annular tissue located downstream of the upper annular surface by the delivered, positioned and expanded prosthetic mitral valve device.

Steerable Sheath For Intravascular Medical Devices
- New Brighton MN, US Preston L. Grothe - Maple Grove MN, US Joseph P. Higgins - Minnetonka MN, US
International Classification:
A61M 25/01
Abstract:
Various embodiments of a steerable sheath or catheter are disclosed. The sheath or catheter may comprise a preformed curve or angle proximate the distal end of the sheath or catheter and may comprise either an outer straighter or an inner straightener to deform, or control, the degree of curvature. Other embodiments comprise at least two lumens axially along the sheath or catheter wall that are anchored proximate the distal end of the sheath or catheter and extend proximally to the operator, allowing either pushing or pulling control of the region of the sheath or catheter located distal to the anchoring points of the push or pull wires. The push/pull wires may be used to deform, or at least partially straighten, a precurved section of the sheath or catheter or may be use deform, or at least partially curve a straight section of the sheath.
