Sinus venosus atrial septal defect treatment device
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A sinus venosus atrial septal defect treatment device for use with a balloon catheter, comprising:
- a tubular body having a longitudinal axis and opposed first and second open ends, the body defined by;
a proximal portion having an expandable peripheral wall, the expandable peripheral wall of the proximal portion including a plurality of receiving plates spaced about the peripheral wall, each of the receiving plates including a keyhole therethrough, the keyhole being configured to receive a corresponding key from the balloon catheter,wherein the corresponding key includes a stem adjacent to a balloon portion of the balloon catheter and a head directly coupled to the stem opposite the balloon portion, wherein the stem provides a smaller cross section than the head,wherein the keyhole includes a first portion configured to receive the head and a portion of the stem therethrough and a narrower second portion configured to receive the portion of the stem,wherein the second portion of the keyhole is smaller than the cross section of the head such that the keyhole is configured to be engaged by the key when the stem is positioned in the narrower second portion of the keyhole;
a distal portion, the distal portion having a distal end and a proximal end, the distal portion having an expandable peripheral wall made from self-expanding mesh, the expandable peripheral wall of the distal portion including an expandable septal augmenter rim at the distal end thereof; and
a central portion between the proximal portion and the distal portion, the central portion including an expandable peripheral wall.

Abstract
The sinus venosus atrial septal defect (“ASD”) treatment device includes has a generally tubular or funnel shaped configuration. A first end of the device can have a diameter that is less than a diameter of a second end of the device. The device can be inserted in the right upper right pulmonary vein PV. The second end of the device is configured to expand in a skirt-like configuration once the device is positioned in the right upper right pulmonary vein PV. In this manner, the device closes the upper sinus venosus hole and diverts anomalous pulmonary venous drainage into the left atrium.

14. An assembly comprising:
-
a balloon catheter including a balloon portion with protruding keys extending therefrom, each of the keys including a stem adjacent to the balloon portion and a head directly coupled to the stem, wherein for each of the keys, the stem provides a smaller cross section than the head; and a tubular body having opposed first and second open ends, the body defined by; a proximal portion mounted over the balloon portion, the proximal portion having an expandable peripheral wall, the expandable peripheral wall of the proximal portion including a plurality of receiving plates spaced about the peripheral wall, each of the receiving plates including a keyhole therethrough, the keyhole being configured to receive a corresponding key from the balloon catheter, wherein the keyhole includes a first portion configured to receive the head and a portion of the stem therethrough and a narrower second portion configured to receive the portion of the stem, wherein the second portion of the keyhole is smaller than the cross section of the head such that the keyhole is engaged by the key with the stem is positioned in the narrower second portion of the keyhole; a distal portion, the distal portion having a distal end and a proximal end, the distal portion having an expandable peripheral wall made from self-expanding mesh, the expandable peripheral wall of the distal portion including an expandable septal augmenter rim at the distal end thereof; and a central portion between the proximal portion and the distal portion, the central portion including an expandable peripheral wall. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
