FDA’s Post

One of my favorite things to do is share my thoughts on neurovascular devices. It is endlessly fascinating to come across these innovative medical devices. Today, I will share about eCLIPS device - that is used to treat wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms (WNBAs). This device is opens in a leaf shape is useful for treating WNBAs - which are very hard to treat. Why are WNBAs hard to treat? Because WNBAs has a low dome-to-neck ratio, causes any coil/embolic device to slip through and relapse into parent artery!! Traditionally, they have been treating these bifurcation aneurysms with a ‘y-stent technique’ where two intersecting stents are deployed across a bifurcation aneurysm neck. This device can be deployed to prevent this + offer a scaffold for endothelial/neo-intimal growth. Link: https://www.evasc.com/

📢 ONWARD completes first-in-human implant of ARC-IM Stimulator with BCI The patient received a wireless brain-computer interface (BCI), which enables thought-driven movement when used together with the ARC-IM Stimulator. ONWARD The said that our ARC-IM Stimulator is designed to deliver targeted, programmed ARC-IM Therapy to the spinal cord to restore movement and other functions after spinal cord injury. ARC-IM Therapy has been tested across multiple clinical feasibility studies to restore mobility and stabilise blood pressure after SCI. It is the first application of the ARC-IM Therapy for restoring upper extremity movement and function, The Dutch medical technology company.

📢 Boston Scientific gets FDA nod for updated WATCHMAN FLX Pro LAAC device The device is indicated to reduce stroke risk in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) who need an alternative to oral anticoagulation therapy. It is an updated version of the previous WATCHMAN FLX LAAC device, which was approved in the US in July 2020, and has been used in nearly 190,000 procedures worldwide. The WATCHMAN FLX Pro is enhanced with a polymer coating designed to reduce device-related thrombus and enable rapid, controlled healing. It comes with additional visualisation markers to enhance the device placement for optimal sealing around the LAA. Also, the US biomedical engineering company offers the WATCHMAN FLX Pro device in a new 40mm size option, enabling physicians to treat a wide range of anatomies.

Interesting article on new medical device to limit esophagus issues with AFIB ablations

Go beyond triage and notification to provide clinical depth and value for faster, more accurate diagnostic decisions earlier in the #stroke patient journey. Rapid NCCT Stroke is the only, premiere, FDA-approved #AI-based medical device that determines suspicion of ICH and LVO based on non-contrast CT (NCCT) imaging. In tandem with Rapid ICH and Hyperdensity, Rapid ASPECTS and Rapid Hypodensity, #RapidAI is the only complete solution on the market that can help doctors determine which patient should get thrombectomy from NCCT scans.

There are surgical and percutaneous interventional strategies to treat ASD, each with its own advantages and inevitable drawbacks too. The most common complication is embolization or malposition of device, frequently during the initial hours to the first 24 hours.Important predictors of ASD device embolization are large defects, bigger devices, insufficient rims, undersized device, or insufficient left atrial size to hold a device. #InterestingCase #Transesophageal
