Methods and devices described for improved catheters including those having a deflectable section to allow for expansion while maintaining flow through a vessel.

Helical balloon catheter

Passively expandable and contractable tubes, dynamically expandable and contractable tubes, and non-expandable tubes and methods of using the same are disclosed. Tubes having one or multiple layers are disclosed. Tubes having one or multiple reinforcements are disclosed. Tubes comprising radial ePTFE and/or axial ePTFE are disclosed.

Tubes and methods of expanding and/or contracting tubes

The present invention is directed to vascular implants and methods for fabricating the same. The implantable devices include but are not limited to stents, grafts and stent grafts. In many embodiments, the devices include one or more side branch lumens interconnected with the main lumen.

Vascular implants and methods of fabricating the same

Methods and devices described for improved dynamic walled tubing and catheters.

Dynamic walled tubing

Deflectable catheters, hemostasis valves, and materials for the same are disclosed. The deflectable catheters and hemostasis valves can be made at least partially, if not entirely, from a fluoroelastomer and ePTFE combination. A deflectable region of the catheters can be articulated to form simple and/or complex curves.

Deflectable catheter with compound curve articulation and materials for the same

The present invention provides systems and methods for deploying implantable devices within the body. The delivery and deployment systems include at least one catheter or an assembly of catheters for selectively positioning the lumens of the implant to within target vessels. Various deployment and attachment mechanisms are provided for selectively deploying the implants.

Apparatus and method for deploying an implantable device within the body

Methods and apparatuses for pumping blood within a blood vessel are described. The methods and apparatuses can be used for renal decongestion by pumping blood through the kidney(s), thereby increasing a pressure gradient across the kidney(s). The apparatuses can include one or more inflatable elements that can be repeatedly inflated and deflated to cause a pumping action within the blood vessel. In some embodiments, the one or more inflatable elements are positioned within one or more stents.
