Fiber Optic Assisted Medical Lead

View page
US Patent:
7844348, Nov 30, 2010
Filed:
Aug 8, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/463286
Inventors:
John M. Swoyer - Andover MN, US
Allison M. Kidder - Minneapolis MN, US
Jeffrey Sweber - St. Louis Park MN, US
Scott Brainard - Burnsville MN, US
Valerie Glazier - Eden Prairie MN, US
Assignee:
Greatbatch Ltd. - Clarence NY
International Classification:
A61N 1/05
US Classification:
607122, 607127, 607131, 600374, 600377
Abstract:
Devices and methods for placing medical leads using minimally invasive techniques. One lead includes a lead body connected to a lead head having an aperture for providing fiber optic access to the interior of a helical electrode. The fiber optic shaft may be disposed within or along-side a drive shaft releasably coupled to the head to rotate the head. The drive shaft and lead body may be delivered using a delivery catheter. The delivery catheter can be advanced though a small incision to the target tissue site, and the site remotely visualized through the fiber optic scope extending through the lead head aperture. Some catheters include a distal mapping electrode readable from the catheter proximal portion or handle. The lead head can be rotated, rotating the helical electrode into the tissue, and the catheter, drive shaft, and fiber optic probe removed. In one use, epicardial pacing leads are placed on the posterior surface of the heart, aided by visualization and mapping to obtain optimal electrode placement and patient outcome.

US Patent:
20040193112, Sep 30, 2004
Filed:
Mar 26, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/403265
Inventors:
Valerie Glazier - Minnetonka MN, US
Todd Latterell - Crystal MN, US
Assignee:
MedAmicus, Inc.
International Classification:
A61M005/178
US Classification:
604/164100
Abstract:
An introducer assembly includes an outer sheath, and a dilator assembly that includes a dilator hub and a dilator sheath. The dilator sheath is disposed within the outer sheath passage, and a proximal end of the dilator sheath is movably disposed within the dilator hub. The dilator assembly further includes a needle disposed within the dilator sheath, and coupled with the dilator hub. The dilator sheath has a first position and a second position relative to the dilator hub, where in the first position the needle distal end extends out from the dilator sheath distal end, and in the second position the dilator sheath is extended over the needle distal end.

Devices And Methods For Collapsing Prosthetic Heart Valves

US Patent:
20110301703, Dec 8, 2011
Filed:
Feb 19, 2010
Appl. No.:
13/202392
Inventors:
Valerie J. Glazier - Eden Prairie MN, US
Assignee:
ST. JUDE MEDICAL, INC. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
A61F 2/24
B23P 11/00
B23Q 1/00
US Classification:
623 217, 292835, 29505
Abstract:
A crimping tool for use with a collapsible prosthetic valve having a stent frame with a plurality of cell openings, and a valve structure assembled in the stent frame. The crimping tool includes a plurality of resilient tines defining an array around a longitudinal axis of the crimping tool. The array has a first cross-section in an expanded state and a second cross-section less than the first cross-section in a collapsed state. The plurality of tines are adapted to intersect the plurality of cell openings in an assembled position of the crimping tool on the prosthetic valve to prevent pinching of the valve structure by the stent frame as the prosthetic valve is collapsed.

Tip For Medical Implant Delivery System

View page
US Patent:
20120078237, Mar 29, 2012
Filed:
Aug 17, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/211447
Inventors:
Huisun Wang - Maple Grove MN, US
Valerie J. Glazier - Eden Prairie MN, US
Assignee:
ST. JUDE MEDICAL, INC. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
A61B 17/00
US Classification:
606 1
Abstract:
A delivery system for delivering and deploying a medical implant, such as a prosthetic heart valve, includes an elongated support member, a sheath, and a tip. The sheath is movable relative to the elongated support member between a distal position overlying the medical implant and a proximal position exposing the medical implant for release from the delivery system. The tip is attached to the elongated support member and is positioned at a distal end of the sheath when the sheath is in the distal position. The tip has a compressed condition and an expanded condition, and a maximum diameter in the expanded condition that is larger than the outer diameter of the sheath.

Retainers For Transcatheter Heart Valve Delivery Systems

US Patent:
20120078350, Mar 29, 2012
Filed:
Jul 12, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/180720
Inventors:
Huisun Wang - Maple Grove MN, US
Valerie J. Glazier - Eden Prairie MN, US
Alex Grafov - Eden Prairie MN, US
Assignee:
ST. JUDE MEDICAL, INC. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
A61F 2/24
US Classification:
623 211
Abstract:
A delivery device for an implantable medical device having at least one retention member at an end thereof includes a shaft extending in a longitudinal direction, an elongated sheath surrounding a longitudinal portion of the shaft, a compartment defined inside of the sheath and adapted to receive the medical device in an assembled condition, a retainer positioned at one end of the compartment, and at least one acceptance in the retainer adapted to receive the retention member of the medical device in the assembled condition. The sheath is slidable relative to the shaft in the longitudinal direction to uncover and deploy the medical device. The retainer may be rotatable relative to the shaft to reduce torsional forces in the medical device during delivery and deployment. The retainer may have at least one recess facing the compartment for receiving a strut at an end of a stent of the medical device.

Device For Collapsing And Loading A Heart Valve Into A Minimally Invasive Delivery System

View page
US Patent:
20120083874, Apr 5, 2012
Filed:
Aug 17, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/211484
Inventors:
Theodore Paul Dale - Corcoran MN, US
Aaron J. Chalekian - Minneapolis MN, US
Valerie J. Glazier - Eden Prairie MN, US
Huisun Wang - Maple Grove MN, US
Assignee:
St. Jude Medical, Inc. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
A61F 2/24
B23P 11/00
US Classification:
623 211, 29516
Abstract:
A device is provided for collapsing a stented bioprosthetic valve, including first section and second sections, each spanning between first and second ends of the device. The second section of the device is associated with the first section to at least partially enclose an internal cavity formed by the first and second sections, the internal cavity tapering from an open insertion portion at a first end of the device to an open exit portion at a second end of the device. The insertion portion has a larger dimension than the exit portion. When the first section and second section are substantially enclosing the internal cavity, a stented bioprosthetic valve may be inserted into the insertion portion and collapsed as it is moved toward and through the exit portion. The valve may then be loaded on an apparatus for insertion into the body.
