A clot removal system comprises a catheter, a vacuum source, and a controller. The catheter comprises a proximal end, a distal end, and controller operating parameters and defines a lumen configured to be filled with a liquid column having a proximal portion. The vacuum source is configured to supply vacuum. The controller is configured to carry out a control pattern of turning on and off the vacuum based upon the controller operating parameters and is configured to receive the controller operating parameters in an automatic response to the catheter being operatively connected to at least one of the vacuum source and the controller and, responsive to the connection, to carry out the control pattern to change a level of vacuum at the distal end of the catheter.

Aspiration thrombectomy system and methods for thrombus removal with aspiration catheter

An aspiration thrombectomy system includes a thrombectomy catheter assembly that maintains pulsatile energy of cyclic aspiration while the catheter is occluded. A system configuration includes a catheter, vacuum and vent fluid sources respectively connected to vacuum and vent valves, a vent catheter valve connecting a catheter lumen to the vent fluid source, a manifold connected to the catheter and vacuum and vent valves, a pressure sensor upstream of the vacuum valve, and a controller configured to operate the vacuum, vent, and vent catheter valves, receive sensor pressure data, control the vent catheter valve dependent upon the data. An operable lumen of the system includes a volume of the catheter lumen and an interior of the manifold up to an input of the vacuum valve input and an output of the vent valve.

Aspiration thrombectomy systems and methods for thrombus removal with aspiration catheter

A prosthetic heart valve can comprise a stent frame radially movable between a contracted configuration and a maximum expanded configuration. The stent assembly can comprise a plurality of longitudinally extending jack strut assemblies, wherein each jack strut assembly comprises a proximal jack strut comprising a distal surface, a distal jack strut comprising a proximal surface, and a jack screw connecting the proximal jack strut and the distal jack strut. The proximal surface of each distal jack strut does not contact the distal surface of each respective proximal jack strut when the stent assembly is in the contracted configuration. The proximal surface of each distal jack strut contacts the distal surface of each respective proximal jack strut when the stent assembly is in the maximum expanded configuration.

Actively controllable stent, stent graft, heart valve and method of controlling same

An assembly includes an implant body and a delivery apparatus. The implant body includes a lattice structure, an adjustment member, and a control device. The lattice structure is circumferentially expandable and contractible. The adjustment member and the control device are coupled to the lattice structure. Actuating the adjustment member results in circumferential expansion or contraction of the lattice structure. The delivery apparatus includes a rotatable adjustment tool and a locking mechanism comprising a controllable catch coupled to an end portion of the rotatable adjustment tool. The rotatable adjustment tool is configured to actuate the adjustment member of the implant body upon rotation of the rotatable adjustment tool. The controllable catch of the locking mechanism is configured to selectively couple the rotatable adjustment tool to the adjustment member of the implant body.

Surgical implant devices and methods for their manufacture and use

A multiple-firing clip device includes a hollow shaft defining a lateral opening communicating with an environment and a distal shaft portion between the lateral opening and a distal end opening. A shuttle longitudinally moves on the shaft and comprises a shuttle body defining a lumen surrounding the shaft, a snare, and a snare-extender slide defining a snare track to form a snare travel path in which the snare is disposed from the body and through the track and a portion of the body. The slide moves along a given extent defining a slide distance and a distal end and movement of the slide to the distal end shortens the snare travel path to extend the snare portion through the lateral opening, through the distal shaft portion, and distally out from a distal side of the body longer than the given extent to secure a suture with the snare.

Multiple-firing suture fixation device and methods for using and manufacturing same

A recapturable external LAA exclusion clip system includes a clip comprising first and second clip struts, at least one of the struts having a connector interface comprising a first portion of a lock, and a delivery device comprising a handle and an end effector. The handle comprises jaw and lock controls. The end effector is connected to the handle and comprises a clevis and first and second jaws. The jaws are connected to the clevis and operatively connected to the jaw control to actively articulate at least one of the jaws with respect to the other. At least one of the jaws has a connector comprising a second portion of the lock operatively connected to the lock control to removably lock with the first portion of the lock. The first and second portions of the lock have a locked state and are configured to unlock the locked state upon actuation of the lock control.
