US Patent:

20120130473, May 24, 2012

Filed:

Nov 10, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/293933

Inventors:

Patrick M. Norris - Bellemont AZ, US
Stephanie M. Walsh - Flagstaff AZ, US
Anthony P. Peterson - Flagstaff AZ, US

International Classification:

A61F 2/82
B23P 11/00

US Classification:

623 112, 29428, 2952501

Abstract:

A catheter assembly includes a single sleeve that constrains an expandable device to a dimension suitable for endoluminal delivery of the device to a treatment site, and further allows expansion of the device toward an outer peripheral dimension that is smaller than a fully deployed outer peripheral dimension to allow positioning of the device at the treatment site prior to full deployment and expansion of the device at the treatment site.

Appl. No.:

13/297007

Inventors:

Patrick M. Norris - Bellemont AZ, US
Stephanie M. Walsh - Flagstaff AZ, US

International Classification:

A61M 29/00

US Classification:

606191

Abstract:

A catheter assembly includes an expandable device that is disposed at a distal end of a catheter and expandable toward a fully deployed outer dimension. A fiber extends from the catheter and is releasably coupled to a side wall of the expandable device near or at an end of the expandable device to maintain an inner curvature of the expandable device as the expandable device is deployed.

Assignee:

W. L. GORE & ASSOCIATES, INC. - Newark DE

International Classification:

A61F 2/84

US Classification:

623 111

Abstract:

The present disclosure describes treatment of the vasculature of a patient with an expandable implant. The implant is constrained to a reduced delivery diameter for delivery within the vasculature by at least one sleeve. The implant can be constrained to other diameters, such as an intermediate diameter. The sleeves can be expanded, allowing for expansion of the diameter of the expandable implant, by disengaging a coupling member from the sleeve or sleeves from outside of the body of the patient. The expandable implant can comprise a steering line or lines which facilitate bending and steering of the expandable implant through the vasculature of a patient.
