Latest Patents
One of his latest patents involves the modification of polymer surfaces as radioisotope carriers. This invention describes a method for creating a radioactive source by forming a polymer layer that is substantially free of inorganic polymers on a substrate material. The polymer layer is then exposed to a radioactive isotope, which is useful for inhibiting restenosis in coronary arteries after procedures such as balloon angioplasty or stent implantation. Specifically, a radioactive source of P, Y, or Ce is deposited on a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) substrate. The substrate is first coated with a pH-sensitive hydrogel and then adsorbs various amounts of phosphoric acid in aqueous solutions. Following this, the substrate is immersed in P, YCl, or CeCl solutions, allowing for the deposition of P, Y, or Ce on the surface as PPO, YPO, or CePO. To minimize the leakage of the isotope, two different polyurethanes are used to encapsulate and seal the deposited isotopes on the surface.
Another significant patent is an apparatus and method to treat a disease process in a luminal structure. This invention features a dual-balloon catheter designed for treating disease processes within a patient's luminal structure. The catheter comprises an inner balloon and an outer balloon that is substantially concentric with and surrounds the inner balloon. It includes an inner balloon fluid delivery lumen in fluid connection with the inner balloon, as well as an outer balloon fluid delivery lumen in fluid connection with the outer balloon.
