In one aspect, a connector assembly includes a delivery conduit defining a conduit lumen and a securable connector configured to secure the delivery conduit to a medical device hub defining a medical device hub lumen. The conduit lumen includes a constant diameter region along a portion of the delivery conduit and a transition region extending from the delivery conduit to the distal end. A transition region diameter of the transition region gradually increases from the constant diameter region to a distal end of the delivery conduit. The securable connector is coupled to an outer surface of the delivery conduit and is slidable along a portion thereof. The securable connector is configured to receive the medical device hub. The securable connector is secured relative to the delivery conduit so as to fluidically couple the conduit lumen with the medical device hub lumen.

A medical device for treating coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease or varicose veins includes an elongated support and a heat expandable element of muscle polymer carried on that elongated support. The medical device may also include a heating element. When activated, the heating element produces heat that causes the muscle polymer to expand into a position in closer proximity to the tissue to be treated.

In the present disclosure, embodiments of microbead containment systems and containment methods are disclosed. The microbead containment system may include a microsphere container, which includes walls that define a containment space in the microsphere container, and microspheres within the containment space. The walls may include at least one magnetic component configured to produce a magnetic field within the containment space. The microspheres may include a diamagnetic material. The method of containing radioactive microspheres may include loading a plurality of microspheres comprising a diamagnetic material in a container comprising one or more magnetic components. The microspheres contained in the microsphere container interact with the magnetic field in a manner that prevents direct contact of the microspheres and the microsphere container.

Methods and systems for determination of flow parameters of administered fluid from a radioembolization delivery device may include translationally moving a device delivery arm of the radioembolization delivery device in a translational direction, wherein the device delivery arm is coupled to a syringe holder such that move in the translational direction one of proximally or distally advances the syringe holder; sensing, via one or more pattern sensors, a corresponding movement of a pattern associated with the translational device delivery arm movement as a sensed pattern movement; generating, via the one or more pattern sensors, one or more output signals based on the sensed pattern movement; and generating, via a processor, a flow rate of the administered fluid, a flow amount of the administered fluid, and/or the translational direction of movement of the device delivery arm with respect to the syringe holder based on the one or more output signals.

In the present disclosure, embodiments of dual-stage syringes are disclosed along with delivery systems incorporating the dual-stage syringes. Embodiments of the dual-stage syringes described herein include sleeved dual-stage syringes, turn-key dual-stage syringes and dual-stage syringes including one or more one-way valves.

Dual-stage syringes for independent delivery of two or more fluids

Methods and systems for selection of dosimetry levels and sphere amounts of radioactive compounds for use in a radioembolization procedure for procedure planning may include inputting activity parameter information into a dosimetry portal of a dosimetry selection tool; determining a customized activity based on the activity parameter information and one or more customized activity algorithms; generating one or more sphere amount and dosage recommendations based on the customized activity and one or more dosimetry selection algorithms; selecting one of the one or more sphere amount and dosage recommendations as a selected sphere amount and dosage recommendation; and generating a radioactive compound order for the radioembolization procedure based on the customized activity and the selected sphere amount and dosage recommendation.
