发明名称 | Thermal energy application for prevention and management of endoleaks in stent-grafts | ||
摘要 | Apparatus (10) is provided, which includes an endovascular stent-graft (20) and a heating device (22) that is coupled to the stent-graft (20). The stent-graft (20) is configured to be implanted in at least one blood vessel in a vicinity of an aneurysm (102). The heating device (22) is configured to apply, to a region (24) external to the stent-graft (20), thermal energy sufficient to coagulate blood flowing into the aneurysm (102). Other embodiments are also described. | ||

主权项 | 1. Apparatus comprising: an endovascular stent-graft, configured to be implanted in at least one blood vessel in a vicinity of an aneurysm, and shaped so as to define a lumen having an axial length when in a radially-expanded state; and a heating device, which is coupled to the stent-graft, which is (i) is incorporated into the stent-graft during manufacture of the stent-graft, (ii) is configured to assume a radially-compressed state with the stent-graft, (iii) is configured to apply, to a region external to the stent-graft, thermal energy sufficient to coagulate blood flowing into the aneurysm, and which (iv) comprises (a) one or more heating elements that collectively are positioned along no more than 20% of the axial length of the lumen, and (b) at least one sensor that is coupled to an external surface of the lumen. | ||
