US Patent:

7232449, Jun 19, 2007

Filed:

Mar 12, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/388374

Inventors:

A. Adam Sharkawy - Redwood City CA, US
J. Greg Stine - San Jose CA, US
David H. Cole - San Mateo CA, US
Samuel Crews - Redwood City CA, US
Darin C. Gittings - Sunnyvale CA, US

Assignee:

Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN

International Classification:

A61B 17/08

US Classification:

606153, 606215, 128898

Abstract:

Anastomotic components may be attached to hollow bodies or vessels by magnetic or mechanical force to create an anastomosis, form a port in a vessel, or repair a diseased vessel lumen. Anastomoses are created by coupling a first connection to an end of a vessel and then attracting it to a second connector secured to the side wall of another vessel. The connection between the first and second connectors may be solidly magnetic, solely mechanical, or a combination thereof. Also disclosed are methods and devices for treating diseased vessel lumens, for example abdominal aortic aneurysm. A plurality of docking members is attached to the vessel at solicited positions, and then one or more grafts is secured to the docking members in any suitable manner.

Filed:

Jun 15, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/153857

International Classification:

A61F 5/56

US Classification:

606 99

Abstract:

Methods and devices are disclosed for manipulating the hyoid bone, such as to treat obstructive sleep apnea. A conformable implant is positioned adjacent a hyoid bone. The spatial orientation of the hyoid bone is manipulated, to affect the configuration of the airway. The implant restrains the hyoid bone in the manipulated configuration. The implant is positioned adjacent to pharyngeal structures to dilate the pharyngeal airway and/or to support the pharyngeal wall against collapse. The implant may be attached to the hyoid bone using a clamp delivery tool that is adapted to releasably engage the implant.

International Classification:

A61B017/08

US Classification:

606153000

Abstract:

Methods and devices for forming magnetic anastomoses between hollow bodies. End-to-side, side-to-side and end-to-end anastomoses can be created with or without a mechanical connection between the components. The anastomotic components may have various constructions and may be secured to a vessel in various manners, for example, magnetically, mechanically or adhesively. Also provided are alternative delivery devices, as well as devices for checking the position of a component on a loaded delivery device, and for checking the seal between a vessel and an anastomotic component secured thereto.
