    摘要: Apparatus and methods for perfusing ischemic myocardium are provided using a tubular member having an end region adapted to be disposed in a portion of a patient's venous vasculature. The end region includes a lumen and a valve in communication with the lumen that controls pressure within an occluded portion of the vasculature by venting excess blood at a location proximal of a point of occlusion of the vasculature via the valve. An occlusion element optionally may be provided in the end region that retains the tubular member within the patient's venous vasculature and occludes the flow of blow around the lumen.

    摘要: The present invention comprises a prostate dilation balloon disposed on a urethral catheter, a fixation balloon also disposed on said catheter, wherein said catheter is partially or completely transparent, and a fiber optic endoscope disposed within said catheter. The scope is arranged so that it can visualize the area outside the catheter in order to determine whether the dilation balloon and fixation balloon are properly located within their respective targets within the urethra and/or bladder. The scope is also capable of focusing on objects which may be present in and along the urethra.

    摘要: A scope and stent system, the scope providing visibility not only through the urethra but also through the ureter during the insertion and placement of a ureteral stent. The scope is in the form of a fiber optic bundle having an appropriate provision for lighting and lensing thereof, and preferably having a video camera and monitor responsive to the image formed at the opposite end of the scope for viewing during the scope insertion process. The fiber optic bundle itself is made sufficiently small so that the entire scope may be fabricated with the appropriate dimensions of a typical stent guide wire and made sufficiently flexible for negotiating a tortuous path as required. The scope may be first inserted through an open-ended stent and through the urethra, the bladder and the ureter, and then the stent inserted thereover through the use of an appropriate stent pusher, or alternatively the scope, stent and stent pusher may be advanced together, the scope allowing observation of the procedure and the nature and extent of any obstructions encountered in the insertion process. Alternate embodiments include the provision of an additional working channel within the stent to allow an additional instrument such as a laser lithotriptor to be utilized in conjunction with the placement of the stent, as well as alternate forms of scope systems.

    摘要: A fetal shunt is disclosed which comprises a tubular body having a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is provided with openings which extend into a lumen which forms a fluid-flow passageway extending between the proximal and distal ends. Either flanges or inflatable cuffs, which can be inflated to form a balloon extending around the tubular body, are provided intermediate the length of the tubular body. The outwardly projecting flanges or the inflated cuff portions form projections which maintain the position of the fetal shunt after it is implanted. The distal end of the tubular body of the shunt is provided with a valve for permitting fluid flow outwardly of the tubular body. The shunt provides a method for transferring cerebral spinal fluid from the fetal cranium to the amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus.

    摘要: In accordance with the invention, there are provided medical devices with incorporated shape memory systems that allow a polymeric medical device to be inserted in a first conformation or configuration and revert to a second conformation or configuration. The invention is useful in allowing the easy insertion or implantation of a device followed by expansion of the device in order to be retained without expulsion from a body cavity, for example. In another aspect of the invention there is provided a medical device, such as a ureteral stent, that includes comprising an elongated member having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion joined by a body portion. The elongated member has an initial outer diameter. A retention construction serves for retaining the member within a bodily cavity. The member is formulated of a physiologically acceptable polymer capable of hydrating and expanding from the initial member outer diameter to form a final member outer diameter. The device can assume differing shapes and can exhibit different degrees of softening at different places along its length and possess shape memory so that it can be inserted in a first conformation or configuration and revert to a second conformation or configuration upon the occurrence of a triggering event such as hydration.
