Abstract

A system for gaining access to an interventional site within vasculature through a vessel wall or other structure such as that of a medical device. An apparatus is provided to accomplish a sealed worksite as are sensor delivery systems including sealable sensor devices that are adapted to be placed at the interventional site.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

an elongate member having a terminal end configured to be placed across a wall to an interior of a body cavity or medical device;

a first member configured to extend beyond an interior of a vessel wall; and

a second sealing member configured to engage an exterior of a vessel wall and the sensor attached to the first sealing member.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising a wall piercing member.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the piercing member is retractable.

4. The system of claim 2, wherein the wall piercing member is attached to and configured beyond a far end of the first member.

5. The system of claim 1, further comprising a sensor assembly attached to one of the first members and second sealing members.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the elongate tubular member is detachable from the first and second sealing members.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the first member includes a sealing assembly that engages the exterior of the wall.

8. A system comprising:

an elongate member having a terminal end configured to be placed across a wall to an interior of a body cavity or medical device; and

a sensor assembly having a first part configured to be placed within the vessel or medical device and a second part configured to be placed exterior the vessel or medical device.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the elongate member releasably receives the sensor assembly and includes a first cavity for the first part and a second cavity for the second part.

10. The system of claim 8, wherein the sensor assembly includes a sealing member.

11. The system of claim 8, wherein the terminal end of the elongate member is configured to pierce a wall.

12. The system of claim 8, wherein the sensor assembly includes an expandable portion.

13. The system of claim 8, wherein the sensor assembly includes a wall piercing member.

14. The system of claim 8, wherein the sensor assembly includes a coil assembly.
