Patent

CA 2442362

The invention provides devices, systems and methods for occluding arteries without puncturing skin or vessel walls. The devices, systems and methods for occluding arteries are configured to be applied to arteries externally of the arteries. Occlusion may be temporary or permanent, and may be partial or complete. Clamping a device to tissue near to an artery is effective to compress tissue around the artery and to indirectly compress the artery. The methods, devices and systems of the invention find use in, for example, treatment of uterine disorders and conditions which may be treated by occlusion of the uterine arteries. A uterine artery may be access via a patient's vagina by compressing a portion of the vaginal wall around a portion of a uterine artery to occlude a uterine artery. Clamping of an artery may also be performed by clamping a device directly onto an artery.

L'invention concerne des dispositifs, des systèmes et des procédés permettant d'occlure des artères sans poncturer la peau ou des parois vasculaires. Les dispositifs, les systèmes et les procédés d'occlusion d'artères sont conçus pour être appliqués aux artères de manière externe. L'occlusion peut être temporaire ou permanente, partielle ou totale. Un dispositif clampant le tissu à proximité d'une artère est efficace, car il permet de comprimer le tissu autour de l'artère et de comprimer indirectement ladite artère. Les procédés, les dispositifs et les systèmes sont utilisés, par exemple, dans le traitement de troubles de l'utérus et dans des conditions que l'on peut traiter par occlusion d'artères utérines. Pour occlure une artère utérine, on peut accéder par le vagin de la patiente en comprimant une partie de la paroi vaginale autour d'une partie de ladite artère utérine. On peut également clamper une artère à l'aide d'un dispositif clampant directement ladite artère.
