An atrio-septostomy balloon catheter device for creating an unrestrictive atrial septal defect in a thick atrial septum. The device comprises a balloon directed by an axis and a plurality of cones, wherein each of the plurality of cones has a hollow conical body, and is connected at a base thereof to a proximal side of the balloon. Preferably, the device comprises two or four cones, located equidistantly about the axis of the balloon. The plurality of cones is configured to hit the atrial septum at the same time and exert the maximal safe force on the septum for tearing it.

Septostomy balloon catheter

An asymmetric occlusion device for occluding an opening in a body tissue where part of the opening is defined by a partial inadequate rim. The asymmetric occlusion device includes a waist portion having a distal end extending to a proximal end. The waist portion is of non-woven material extending around a longitudinal axis opening. The occlusion device further includes a pair of asymmetric occluder disks attached to the waist. The asymmetric distal and proximal occluder disks are formed of shape memory material. The asymmetric occluder disks include a short arm extending from the waist and an extended arm extending from the waist. The extended arm exceeds the length of the first short arm. The density of the first short arm exceeds the density of the second extended arm.
