Latest Patents

Wang's latest patents revolve around the intraluminal delivery of tissue lysing medium. This method and system are designed to lyse a patient's heart tissue that is causing or involved with arrhythmia. The invention includes an intravascular catheter equipped with a relatively inelastic occlusion balloon at its distal end. This balloon is inflated to block an artery or vein of the patient's heart, allowing lysing fluid, such as an ethanol solution, to be discharged from the distal port of the catheter. The inflated balloon prevents the proximal refluxing of the lysing medium into undesirable areas of the heart. The inelastic balloon is designed to be inflated to a diameter of approximately 0.7 to 1.3 times the diameter of the blood vessel, ensuring effective occlusion without damaging the vessel wall. The working length of the balloon is less than 1.5 cm, with a preferred length of less than 0.75 cm.
