    摘要: An apparatus for creating an accessory maxillary ostium for purposes of ventilation, irrigation, or procedural work within the maxillary antrum. An introducer having a ventilation tube and grommet is provided to create and then provide access through the accessory maxillary ostium. An irrigation catheter may be advanced through the ventilation tube in order to irrigate or express the contents of the sinus cavities. A secondary irrigation catheter or a balloon catheter may be advanced through an outer irrigation catheter, deeply into the sinus cavity, in order to irrigate or express the contents of the sinus cavities. Moreover, the balloon catheter may alternatively or additionally be employed to for dilation of the natural ostium. Still further, a device for delivering drugs, fluids or the like, may be coupled to the ventilation tube for delivery of same.

    摘要: Apparatus (220/20) and methods are described including a transluminal ablation catheter (40) that includes at least one ultrasound transducer (50/52/150). The at least one ultrasound transducer is inserted into a chamber (190) of a subject's heart and is configured (a) to ablate tissue of the subject by applying ultrasound energy to the tissue, and (b) to image tissue of the subject by applying non-ablating ultrasound energy to the tissue. An expandable cage (30/301) is disposed around the at least one ultrasound transducer. The at least one ultrasound transducer is configured to rotate and axially translate back and forth within the expandable cage, such as to generate a three-dimensional image of the tissue. Other applications are also described.

    摘要: Disclosed is a brain implant placement apparatus, which includes a base member contoured to rest against a cranium of a patient. The brain implant apparatus including a pivot arm hingedly coupled to the base member and configured to rotate from a first configuration to a second configuration. The brain implant placement apparatus including an implant attachment member coupled to the pivot arm via a rotating attachment mechanism and further comprising a receiving portion configured to removably couple with a brain implant and rotate the brain implant. In the first configuration, the pivot arm is positioned such that the receiving portion of the implant attachment member is facing upward. In the second configuration, the pivot arm is positioned such that the receiving portion of the implant attachment member is facing substantially downwards.
