An apparatus (140) for closing and sealing a vascular puncture is connected to an energy supply (144) such that heat is generated in, or thermally conducted to, the tissue, thereby thermally fusing the vascular tissue together. The method for closing and sealing a vascular puncture comprising applying radio frequency or other energy to the tissue, the energy sufficient to thermally fuse the tissue together, thus sealing the puncture. Embodiments of depth finding and guiding devices (191 and 295), as well as blood vessel occluders (14), are also disclosed.
Un dispositif (140) servant à fermer et à obturer une perforation vasculaire est relié à une source d'alimentation en énergie (144), de façon à produire de la chaleur dans le tissu ou à effectuer une conduction thermique vers ledit tissu, ce qui permet de souder le tissu vasculaire par fusion thermique. Le procédé de fermeture et d'obturation d'une perforation vasculaire comprend l'application de haute fréquence ou d'un autre type d'énergie au tissu, ladite énergie étant suffisante pour réaliser la fusion thermique du tissu, de manière à obturer la perforation. L'invention concerne également la mise en application de dispositifs de détermination de profondeur et de guidage (191 et 295), ainsi que des dispositifs (14) d'occlusion de vaisseaux sanguins.
