Abstract: L'invention concerne un extenseur, notamment un extenseur coronaire, comprenant au moins un élément tubulaire à faible épaisseur de paroi, dont la surface extérieure, ajourée à la manière d'un filet, possède des évidements limités par des segments de faible largeur. Ces segments sont formés par le matériau restant de la paroi du tube une fois la matière retirée au niveau des zones d'évidement. La section d'un segment est rétrécie à proximité de l'extrémité de l'extenseur par affaiblissement de matière de telle manière que la résistance à la déformation soit réduite à l'extrémité de l'extenseur. On obtient ainsi une transition continue entre la zone élargie par l'extenseur et la zone sans extenseur du vaisseau.

Abstract: Il s'agit d'un dispositif chirurgical habituellement mis en place via un cathéter intravasculaire. Il peut s'utiliser de différentes façons. Il peut, par exemple, s'utiliser pour ouvrir un passage franc contre un thrombus pour permettre au sang comme aux médicaments de contourner le caillot. Il peut s'utiliser pour percer un thrombus et l'enlever. De tels thrombus se trouvent souvent dans un réseau vasculaire sinueux. Ce dispositif comporte plusieurs parties. Le dispositif comporte un élément central, généralement un fil d'âme. Placé autour de l'extrémité distale de l'élément central se trouve, d'une part un ensemble cage proximal repliable, de préférence également auto-déployant, et d'autre part un filtre distal, de préférence un ensemble cage auto-déployant ou autre composant filtre. Les diverses parties de ces composants sont de préférence radio-opaques. L'extrémité proximale de la cage proximale est normalement fixée sur un actionneur de façon à permettre la dilatation de la cage après son déploiement. L'ensemble cage proximal peut s'utiliser pour recueillir l'embole ou pour le déplacer de façon à permettre au flux de sang de se rétablir, avec ou sans traitement médicamenteux concomitant de dissolution du caillot. Le secteur distal, qu'il s'agisse d'une cage auto-déployante ou d'une hélice, est disposé en position distale par rapport au thrombus de façon à recueillir les fragments du thrombus qui peuvent se détacher pendant le traitement ou la procédure d'enlèvement.

Abstract: A room ionization system includes a plurality of emitter modules, each including an electrical ionizer. The emitter modules are spaced around the room and are connected in a daisy-chain manner to a system controller. Each emitter module has an individual address for allowing the system controller or a remote control transmitter to individually address and control each emitter module. Electrical lines containing both power and communication lines connect the plurality of emitter modules with the system controller. Each emitter module stores a balance reference value and an ion output current reference value for use by automatic balance control and automatic ion output current control circuitry. These reference values are stored in a software-adjustable memory so that they may be easily changed via the system controller or via the remote control transmitter if actual measured balance or decay times in the work space, such as measured by a charged plate monitor, indicate an ion imbalance or out of range ion output current. Each emitter module can send detailed alarm condition information and emitter module identification information to the system controller upon detection of a malfunction. Each emitter module connected to the system controller may be individually set to a desired operating power mode. The emitter modules use a switching power supply to lessen effects of line loss. Each emitter module includes miswire protection circuitry so that the electrical lines may be automatically flipped if initially connected in the reverse manner. <IMAGE>
