"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
~ Mark Twain
Nothing better than a young team winning with enthusiasm. Well, there are somethings better, but not that many.
Brantley just said he got a bloody nose out that!
The Sox traded Bullfrog the only player they've got for Shottenhoffen. Four-eyes Shottenhoffen a utility infielder. They've got a whole team of utility infielders.
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
They bloodied his nose. Take it easy it on the kid.
I rarely make it to game threads anymore, but wanted to make sure everyone was still breathing after that 9th inning. Sure enough, I open the thread and Janish wins it.
". . . acquiring J. Blanton from Oakland for, apparently, Bailey/Cueto, Votto and a lesser prospect. I do it in a second . . . The Reds' equation this year is simple: Make Matt Belisle your #3 starter . . . trade for Blanton, win 85 or more, be in the mix all summer." - Paul Daugherty, Feb. 8, 2008
Ryan Freel has a terrible high kick. And speaking of Freel and high kicks, why is Freel trying to high kick both Janish and Bako there?
Kevin Gregg and Jason Marquis brought back vivid memories of the Lost Decade.

Jason Marquis: DFA'd June 5, 2015
The youth movement is on.
Championships Matter.
24 Years and Counting...
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
Man they really needed that and what a great way to start a career for Paul Janish!
The new GT Reds are 3-0 with a few heart attacks tossed in.
I think it was Freel's knee to the face at the end that bloodied his nose.

|ESPN.com: Mixed Martial Arts
|[Print without images]
The UFC will ring in the New Year with a trio of headline-worthy bouts at UFC 92 "The Ultimate 2008" on Saturday in Las Vegas. The card features the first title tilt between alumni of "The Ultimate Fighter," the final chapter in a trilogy between two heated light heavyweight rivals and a bout that will decide who faces Brock Lesnar for the undisputed heavyweight championship in 2009.
Everybody, dust off your useless Y2K survival kits and prepare for some mixed martial arts breakdowns worthy of a Prince Paul mix tape.UFC Light Heavyweight Championship
The stakes: While Griffin's current run as light heavyweight champion might not compare to the reality-altering run of Matt Serra in the welterweight division, one has to wonder just how much longer the roller coaster ride will last for Griffin. That's especially true when you consider he took out Mauricio "Shogun" Rua right around the time the Brazilian's knees turned to peanut brittle and then went on to win the title against Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, who has the mental stability of Tom Cruise on the "Oprah" set. One way or another, we'll find out just how much of Griffin's success is owed to circumstance and if this unexpected run has any legs to it.
The breakdown: As much as Griffin loves a good scrap on the feet, his massive size advantage gives him the opportunity to bully around the undersized Evans, both in the clinch and on the mat. Now that we're finally starting to see Randy Couture's mentorship have an impact on how Griffin fights, there's a good chance we'll see him remain composed. From there, his combination of obvious size and underrated grappling skill is made to throttle a guy like Evans.Rashad "Sugar" Evans Scouting Report
The stakes: Evans might be MMA's most underappreciated star. Sure, he holds an undefeated record, but what about that "lucky" draw against Tito Ortiz at UFC 73? OK, he knocked out Chuck Liddell, but everyone fell asleep during the first round. Evans gets this kind of criticism on a daily basis, and while taking on the pseudonym "Sugar" may be a bit presumptuous, we just might be witnessing the birth of a storied division's latest superstar. If Evans is ever going to wake up fans to that reality, he'll need to ditch the sleepwalking routine and get straight to the sugar.
The breakdown: For Evans to survive in a division loaded with fighters who dwarf him, he has to continue turning his supposed weakness into a strength. That means taking advantage of his superior footwork while banking on hand speed to frustrate Griffin and set up the coup de grace. Evans must stay mindful of resisting the temptation to barrel forward in search of takedowns, as Griffin's size makes him difficult to push around, and his jiu-jitsu game remains a legitimate weapon.
The bottom line: As much as Evans' at times jaw-dropping physical ability has left the masses in awe, Griffin's rugged physicality and well-rounded style make him a tough draw for anyone. What really flips this bout in Griffin's favor is Evans' habit of starting slowly and practically giving away the first round like it's a government bailout. Griffin will take that ball and run with it, as he imposes a trench war-style fight on Evans, who will eventually buckle under the pressure in close quarters combat.UFC Interim Heavyweight Championship
The stakes: While the pay-per-view will likely bring up the whole "The Ultimate Fighter" coach vs. coach angle ad nauseam, those of us still firmly rooted in reality will realize that the aftershocks of this match will reverberate far beyond the reach of any reality show. For Nogueira, a heavyweight title match with Brock Lesnar is up for grabs, along with the chance to re-establish his legitimacy in a division that forgot him all too quickly. Taking out Mir and locking horns with Lesnar would remind the world that it was not all that long ago when Nogueira was the UFC's big ticket at heavyweight.
The breakdown: While the obvious temptation is to think this fight comes down to who can control the mat action, it's important to keep in mind that Nogueira has been showing off his boxing skills lately, and Mir remains somewhat clueless on his feet. If Nogueira can soften up Mir standing, it would make any jiu-jitsu exchanges all the more likely to end up in his favor.Frank Mir Scouting Report
The stakes: While Nogueira must face questions about his best days being far behind him, the question surrounding Mir will be the same one that's haunted him since the memorable mauling Ian Freeman handed him at UFC 38. Will Mir ever cash in his golden ticket and develop into the superstar that so many predicted he would become? Of course, injuries and an extended battle with the local doughnut shop have resulted in an uphill climb, but at UFC 92, Mir has a chance to defeat the forefather of heavyweight jiu-jitsu artists and set up a second run at the heavyweight title he once held.
The breakdown: Advising someone to take down Nogueira should be enough to secure a room at Bellevue, but that should be the game plan for Mir, who cannot afford to waste any time by testing his stand-up skills against a fighter who has shown marked improvement in that area. Mir's conditioning remains worrisome, and it would be best for him to avoid the issue entirely by scoring a quick takedown and going for broke in search of submissions. As long as Mir remains aggressive and does not work himself into any dangerous spots, he has the jiu-jitsu skills to give Nogueira fits.
The bottom line: This just is not a good style clash for Mir, who gets to take on a superior version of himself. Watch for Nogueira to peck away at Mir on the feet before moving to the ground, where the disparity in skill will become obvious in the time it takes Nogueira to send Mir on a roundtrip to Sleepytown.
The stakes: Normally, rebounding from a controversial decision loss that cost you the UFC light heavyweight championship would be a pretty tough challenge to overcome. That should be small beans for Jackson, who also has criminal charges hanging above his head thanks to a now infamous hit-and-run spree that left every teenage "Grand Theft Auto" fan sighing in envy. The last time Jackson went through a bout of mental mediocrity, he nearly sent his career off the skids with dreadful showings that led to multiple losses. Above all, Jackson has to prove he can keep his head above water, and he has to do it against a fighter who has already beaten him twice.
The breakdown: If nothing else, Jackson at least knows what not to do against Silva; for the love of Pop Tarts, do not go into the clinch. What Jackson can do is use his high-impact wrestling to get Silva on his back, where he can safely use ground-and-pound to pick apart the smaller Brazilian. Whether or not Jackson will have the presence of mind to do that remains to be seen.Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva Scouting Report
The stakes: Silva was supposed to call it a career by now; three straight losses in which it looked like Silva's legs were made of cement and his fists were loaded with feathers were supposed to be enough for the MMA cognoscenti to write off the Brazilian. Now, fresh off a vintage performance against Keith Jardine at UFC 84, Silva looks like a rejuvenated fighter who has been reminded that his true calling remains putting fist to face. Taking out a longtime rival and former champion like Jackson may be all Silva needs to secure the dream scenario his fans have been cooking up for years: Silva, the icon of Pride's middleweight division, taking on the UFC's light heavyweight champion.
The breakdown: The game plan is the same as always for Silva draw Jackson into a slugfest he cannot hope to win. While Juanito Ibarra did wonders for Jackson's boxing, his recent change of camps and tumultuous personal life place him in much the same situation as his previous bouts with Silva. All Silva needs to do is stay back and wait for the right moment to lock hold of the Thai clinch that has already made Jackson the subject of many a highlight reel.
The bottom line: On paper, Jackson should be able to beat Silva, but in reality, it's starting to look like the stars will never line up for him. Now's not the best time for the former UFC light heavyweight champion to go after Silva a third time, and it will show when the cage door closes, as a lethargic Jackson falls prey yet again to the relentless onslaught of "The Axe Murderer." Someone get the video camera ready; the last few seconds of this fight will probably find their way onto a medical school video on blunt force trauma.Tomas Rios is a contributor to Sherdog.com.

Driveshaft service, when?
My '07 GS has been running smoothly! During a recent final drive fluid change with 26K miles on the clock I pulled the drive shaft off for the first time checking the universal joints. The transmission input end moves smoothly in both planes. The final drive end moves smoothly in one plane and the other one has a very slight notchiness when moving the joint through the center.
Should I bite the bullet and ship the shaft to Bruno's for overhaul or is there a certain amount of notchiness that is acceptable?
That seems like low miles to start to feel notchiness.
There are gonna be replies that say run it until it breaks. That can be very costly and even dangerous.
I would have it fixed.
Run it till it breaks... there :wink:
If and when I ever feel anything less than perfect smoothness when checking my bike's u-joints, they'll be replaced because there's a problem developing with at least one of the bearings. No sense in trying to guess how long until the problem may become an outright failure.
I have high blood pressure for which my doctor prescribes medication. If I do not take my medicine, I might have a heart attack, suffer severe cardiac disease or worse yet, die.
Your drive shaft exhibits an anomaly that suggests the drive shaft could fail, causing damage to the Paralever housing or worse yet, lock the rear wheel causing an accident with possible injury or death. :eek1
Depending on your preference, there are domestic services that can fit new u-joints to your drive shaft without you having to endure the costs of shipping out of the country.
Better take your medicine. :nod
I'm not going to have it removed, take cancer meds, or other treatments until I develop cancer.
Catastrophic failure can happen at any time with a shaft in any condition. That said, the chances are much greater if it shows signs of wear.
If you're worried, change it. The money is worth peace of mind. The fact that you are asking probably means that you should.
Riding a motorcycle always involves risk. Some people are very risk-adverse. Those people are probably not on this forum, as they probably don't ride bikes. Some are so risky that they are reckless. These people may not be on this forum either, as they may not be among the living. It's up to you what level of risk you are comfortable with.
Will the shaft fail tomorrow? Probably not. Will it ever fail? As a moving part, it will eventually.
Of course you guys are correct. I called Bruno this morning for shipping details. It'll go out tomorrow.
I guess this driveshaft business is kind of a crap shoot. My bike is a GS, not ADV, I'm a small guy that has never overloaded the bike, and its only been on a few gravel roads. Others get a 100+K miles before they have to repair the shaft.
You now have a choice....smoke salmon or smoke marijuana...both are legal where you live.
Me? I'll take the salmon, thank you. But, that's my choice.
Your Seahawks did well...my Falcons? Not too badly.
Where in Tejas? I lived in Katy and Spring for many years. Enjoyed watching #34 play for the Oilers...
My second one is over 50k now, I just this morning mailed it off to Bruno. He's almost local to me, in the same province anyways, so hopefully it won't take too long to get back.
From observation of the occurrences here, I'm treating this as a preventative maintenance item. Though folks seem to get all cranked up about final drive issues, I've found that the driveshafts (at $1000 a pop) are much more likely to need replacement. If it pops, it takes out the yoke, which means new shaft time.
I never go looking for trouble therfore i never find any.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 10/7/12
DETROIT - Don Kelly hopes to make his forgettable personal season something to remember. Kelly, a postseason-roster afterthought in some quarters after a .186 regular season, scored the tying run from third base on a wild pitch in the eighth inning Sunday, then drove home the winning run with a sacrifice fly in the ninth to give Detroit a 5-4 victory over Oakland and a 2-0 lead in their American League Division series. The A's face a must-win Game 3 in Oakland on Tuesday night to keep the best-of-five series going with the fourth and fifth games, if necessary, scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday. Kelly was designated for assignment earlier this season and sent outright to Triple-A Toledo when nobody claimed him off waivers. He was brought back when rosters expanded Sept. 1 and selected by manager Jim Leyland over Brennan Boesch for the postseason because of his pinch-running skills, ability to play multiple defensive positions well and because he's a left-handed bat off th...

I wonder if Bailey could fill the role of the "ace" the Diamondbacks are so hot after?
They do have a plethora of young ML-ready middle infielders. And a guy like Gerardo Parra or AJ Pollock could be interesting. Tyler Skaggs too. Not sure how this possibly improves the team in 2014 however, unless there is a corresponding move.

DEG, new resident -> SAM-B.O.T, usual TMO residents PHANTOM // TITLIGHT // X-ACT
Born in 1972, Deg was initially influenced by the music of his parents. His mother was teaching modern jazz dancing while his father was a professor in informatics. During the emerging of the first electronic sounds generated by personal computers like Commodore 64, Spectrum, Sinclair and more... He was without a doubt the biggest fan of artists like Martin Galway and Rob Hubbard.
Deg really began to deejay at the beginning of the early "AB Sounds" and "Chicago Jacks" explosion. With passion and hard work, he played his first gigs at some school parties after which he organised his first underground parties with some friends in Brussels. Here, everything started ! In 1990, due to his reputation, he finally was given residencies in clubs like "Mauna Kea" and "Borsalino". He was one of the first Belgian techno deejays in 1991. As one of the co-founders of the BWP Experiments (D-Jack, Mike DMA, Sebastian S), he was an active member of this organisation whose goal was to promote "techno" and educate people to acquire a bigger audience. Many Belgian well-known artists and DJ's were influenced by them. Deg also played in sonic temples as Boccaccio, Globe, Barocci,...
He was main resident at organisations like "Rave Explosion" and "Network" with the first appearances in Belgium of Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin, Leo Anibaldi, Dan Curtin, Vapourspace, Dave Clarke, DJ Hell, Blake Baxter, Daniel Bell, The Advent, Tom Middleton, Underground Resistance and many others... Many times he played at the PK Studio parties with the Brussels underground during the revival of Acid music and Industrial UK sounds like Rephlex, Warp, Evolution, etc...
Deg is also known for his international career (Mayday) and played all over Europe...
In 1997, he joined the resident team at Fuse to the joy of the crowd. As a producer, he has released since 1991 a dozen of records and remixes on Belgian labels. He's behind many club anthems which were acclaimed worldwide ang got several licences all around the world. They're still classics today ! He also compiled the 2 eclectic "techno" compilations for the Rave Explosion organisation.

One of the few online degree programs of its kind in the nation, Walden's B.S. in Instructional Design and Technology provides students with the skills and practical hands-on experience to help them succeed in the fields of instructional design and instructional technology. The program offers three concentrations: General Program, Business and Organizational Change, and Human Factors and Interface Design.
Bachelor of Science in Nursing
Offered through the School of Nursing, Walden University's new Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree completion program is designed for current registered nurses who hold a hospital diploma, an associate degree in nursing, or a bachelor's degree (other than a BSN), and are seeking a BSN to help them achieve career advancement. The BSN program is a demonstration of Walden's commitment to meeting the needs of nurses in a changing field.
An evolving health care industry requires nurses with new skills and specialized training. In fact, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) has proposed that nurses should obtain a bachelor's degree as minimal preparation for practice.*
For more information on these new degree programs, visit www.WaldenU.edu.

A European Union official based in Israel praised the Jewish state for providing medical treatment to Syrian civilians injured in their country's civil war.
EU Ambassador-designate Lars Faaborg-Andersen on Wednesday visited the Ziv Medical Center in Safed to see the care being provided to the injured Syrians. More than 300 Syrians have been brought to Israel for treatment since the civil war began about 2 1/2 years ago.
"I was deeply impressed by the dedication of the medical staff that is sparing no effort to provide the injured patients, many of them children, with the best possible medical care," Faaborg-Andersen said in a statement. "This commitment to the welfare of other human beings, regardless of the fact that they belong to an enemy nation, should be a source of pride to all Israelis."
Earlier this month, a 20-year-old woman became the first Syrian civilian fleeing the civil war to give birth in Israel, according to reports.

Vodafone G2 revealed as HTC "Magic"?
Rumours Pocket-lint reported on earlier regarding the G2's imminent launch have got a little more real with the apparent revelation of the HTC "Magic" by US blog Boy Genius Report.
Our source suggested that the second Android-powered device from HTC was to be announced as a Vodafone exclusive on 17 February and images backing up this assertion now appear to have been leaked.
Said to be exclusive to Vodafone in Europe, the Magic is rumoured to offer HSPA, Wi-Fi and GPS connectivity along with a 3.2-megapixel camera.
With apparently no slide-out keypad, and said to be offering Android's "Cupcake" OS update, BGR suggests the Magic may be called the Pioneer when it becomes official.
We will keep you posted.

New York Giants tight end Martellus Bennett may have made his best play of Sunday when he caught a fan falling from the stands. The Giants were leaving the field after soundly defeating the Green Bay Packers when Bennett attempted to give his gloves to a kid. At that time a middle-aged man leaned over the kid and fell over the protective railing and onto Bennett. "I just did what any superhero would do: Saved his life," Bennett said. "(Shoot). I'm like Scott Summers. You know who Scott Summers is? Cyclops off X-Men." So exactly what was Bennett's secret to catching a falling fan? "My first instinct was to step back, like, 'Oh, (shoot),' but I did the righteous thing … So I caught him and then and slowly tried to pull him down, but then I tripped over somebody and we all fell." Bennett said he fell on the cameraman but was not injured in the catch or trip. "I felt like Prince, because everybody was like, 'You OK? You OK?' And I was like, 'Yeah, I'm fine.' They were helping me

Bowdoin College
What is your favorite place on campus?
I'm partial to the arboretum on a misty morning in the winter. The scene is ethereal and calming, as the light and mist filter through the trees.
Where do you like to eat in Tacoma?
Oh dear, this is a hard one. In no particular order, here are some of my favorite spots: Café Brosseau for a delicious panini and neighborhood café feel. Ice Cream Social for both traditional flavors (their chocolate is both chocolate-y enough without being too heavy) and fun new ones (buttered popcorn sounds weird, but it totally works). The Rosewood Café for their baked brie and proximity to campus. Shakabrah Java for their incredible home fries and huge pancakes. But really, it is hard to go wrong around here!
What's your favorite thing about working in the Office of Admission?
The people! I have the privilege of meeting and working with talented, compelling applicants on a daily basis. I also work with passionate, kind Loggers (current students, staff, and faculty) to support those awesome applicants as they navigate the college search process.

A balloon angioplasty catheter having a balloon head assembly carried at the distal end of an elongated catheter body. The balloon head assembly includes an inflatable balloon envelope and a perfusion lumen extending through the balloon envelope to provide a blood flow passage during inflation of the balloon envelope. The invention also encompasses embodiments having a collapsible guidewire lumen for increasing perfusion blood flow upon guidewire withdrawal. Also within the scope of the invention is a distally stepped down perfusion catheter, allowing for decreased distal cross section. In another preferred embodiment, the perfusion lumen is inflatable. In yet another embodiment, the guidewire lumen is external to the perfusion lumen.
1. A balloon angioplasty catheter comprising:
an elongated catheter body having a proximal end and a distal end;
a balloon including an inflatable envelope portion, the balloon having a proximal end and a distal end;
a tubular member defining a perfusion lumen extending through the balloon, the perfusion lumen having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the perfusion lumen being proximate the proximal end of the balloon, the perfusion lumen decreasing distally in cross section within the inflatable envelope portion; and
wherein the tubular member includes a metallic ribbon coil support.
This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/612,061, filed Mar. 7, 1996, now abandoned which is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 08/441,618, filed May 15, 1995, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,591,129 which in turn is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 08/204,733, filed Mar. 2, 1994, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to angioplasty and, in particular, to perfusion balloon angioplasty catheters.
Balloon catheters are widely used in a variety of intravascular applications. In particular, angioplasty has gained wide acceptance as an efficient and effective treatment for particular vascular conditions. For example, angioplasty is widely used to treat stenoses in coronary arteries, although its application to stenoses in other parts of the vascular system is also known.
The most common form of angioplasty is percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) which utilizes a dilatation catheter having an inflatable balloon at its distal end. The catheter is guided through the vascular system, using fluoroscopy, until the balloon is positioned across the stenosis. The balloon is then inflated such that the balloon engages the stenosis to reestablish acceptable blood flow through the artery.
An initial concern with PTCA was the temporary blockage of blood flow during balloon inflation. With increasing clinical experience, this concern declined. The vast majority of patients tolerate 30–60 second dilatations quite well. Concurrently, cardiologists discovered that prolonged dilatations can assist with some developments occasionally encountered with angioplasty. For example, prolonged dilatations of several minutes may be employed on the occurrence of dissections, intimal flaps, acute thrombolysis and vessel spasms. The profound ischemia of long dilatation is outweighed by the potential prevention of emergency coronary bypass surgery.
A variety of techniques have been proposed to facilitate prolonged dilatations. These include the use of pharmacologic agents to improve myocardial tolerance of ischemia, synchronized retroperfusion, mechanical pump distal perfusion and auto or passive perfusion.
The use of pharmacologic agents treats the symptoms of ischemia without addressing the cause. As a result, this approach is inherently limited.
Synchronized retroperfusion involves pumping blood during diastole into the coronary sinus and then subselectively into the regional coronary veins which drain the jeopardized myocardium. While this approach potentially offers nearly complete myocardial perfusion, it is complicated and cumbersome.
Mechanical pump distal perfusion involves pumping blood (or other perfusate) through a lumen of the PTCA catheter. As the name implies, this requires some form of mechanical pump which complicates the angioplasty equipment and procedure.
Auto or passive perfusion has found increasing interest both for prolonged dilatations as well as shorter dilatations having a duration on the order of non-perfusion dilatations. Typically, in passive perfusion, the balloon catheter acts as temporary stent. That is, a perfusion lumen is employed to provide a blood flow passage during balloon inflation. Typically, the perfusion lumen extends through the balloon envelope having an inlet proximal to the balloon envelope and a discharge distal to the balloon envelope. Proposed inlet configurations have included side openings in the catheter as well as a beveled opening to the blood flow channel. Proposed discharge configurations have included a main axial orifice and side openings. Clearly, the inlet and outlet have a direct effect on blood flow capacity. Further, pressure within the balloon envelope during balloon inflation has a tendency to compress a perfusion lumen within the envelope thereby potentially constricting the blood flow passage. On the other hand, countering this tendency by stiffening the perfusion lumen walls can seriously impact trackability of the catheter itself. The attachment of a projecting distal tip to provide side wall discharge can affect trackability as a result in changes of stiffness from material changes and/or the attachment itself.
As discussed above, various proposed discharge configurations have included a main axial orifice and side openings. For a number of reasons, including trackability, it is desirable to be able to control relative egress flow through the main axial orifice and the side openings. Such control can increasingly be a factor when perfusion flow is maximized, for example, where the guidewire along which the catheter is inserted is withdrawn after catheter insertion in order to increase the cross-sectional flow area through the perfusion lumen of the catheter which passes through the balloon envelope.
It is desirable to maximize flow through the perfusion lumen by having a perfusion lumen with large cross sectional area. It is also desirable to have a balloon catheter head with small cross sectional area to allow for inserting the distal tip through narrowed stenotic regions. It would be advantageous to have a catheter maximizing both of these seemingly conflicting goals.
It is to these dictates of the prior art that the present invention is directed. It is a balloon angioplasty catheter which serves to obviate many of the shortcomings of prior art structures.
The present invention provides a perfusion balloon catheter particularly adapted to angioplasty of the type having a balloon assembly carried at the distal end of an elongated catheter body. The balloon assembly includes an inflatable balloon envelope and a perfusion lumen extending through the balloon envelope to provide a blood flow passage during inflation of the balloon envelope. In a preferred embodiment, the perfusion lumen is formed of an encapsulating flexible material supported against collapse during balloon inflation by a helical member having spaced coils. The pitch of the spaced coils may be selected to avoid coil-to-coil contact during traverse of a body vessel, as during advance of the catheter through the vascular system during delivery of the catheter to a desired site within the vessel. Blood flow through the perfusion lumen is facilitated in accordance with another aspect of the present invention through side opening configurations which facilitate discharge during perfusion. In a preferred embodiment, the discharge is through generally oval orifices. The orifices are located in a distally projecting tip, the tip being in fluid communication with the perfusion lumen. In a preferred embodiment, the major dimension of the oval orifices is generally aligned with the direction of projection of the projecting tip.
To negate the effect on trackability of stiffness transitions within the balloon head assembly, the present invention provides an integral projecting tip. That is, the balloon envelope and projecting tip of the balloon head assembly are integrally formed. In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of discharge orifices extend through the projecting tip side wall.
In some embodiments, various means can be provided for facilitating preferred discharge through the side opening orifices. Various embodiments of the invention provide different means for accomplishing this. For example, in one embodiment, a gate normally biased to a closed position, is provided at a distal end of the discharge lumen. During catheter installation, the guidewire and an axially displaceable guidewire tube disposed radially intermediate the guidewire and an axially fixed guidewire tube, pass through the gate. After installation is completed, the guidewire and axially displaceable tube can be withdrawn to increase perfusion flow through the perfusion lumen. Upon withdrawal of the guidewire and displaceable tube, the gate, being biased to the closed position, will close in order to direct egress flow through the side orifices.
In other embodiments various other valving/metering structures are employed. In a number of embodiments of the invention, a valve member is carried by the axially displaceable guidewire tube so that, as that tube is moved axially through the discharge lumen, the location of the valve member relative to the discharge lumen distal end main axial orifice can be varied in order to control egress flow. When the valve member is fully closed, all flow will be directed through the side orifices. When the valve member is opened, egress flow will be divided between the side orifices and the main axial orifice.
While it is desirable to have a large perfusion lumen cross section so as to maximize blood flow, it is also desirable to have a small balloon catheter cross section so as to allow the balloon to pass through narrowed vessel regions. Several embodiments of the present invention address these conflicting goals.
One embodiment of the invention allows for a smaller balloon catheter cross section by having the perfusion lumen proximal end be of large cross section, decreasing to a smaller cross section at the distal end. The smaller cross section at the distal end allows inserting the distal end of the balloon catheter into narrowed vessel regions, without unduly restricting blood flow through the perfusion lumen.
Another embodiment of the present invention allows for increasing blood flow through the perfusion lumen by having the guidewire lumen external to the perfusion lumen. By having the guidewire lumen outside of the perfusion lumen, the cross sectional area available for blood flow inside the perfusion lumen is increased.
Yet another embodiment of the present invention provides for a collapsible guidewire lumen. After inserting the balloon catheter over a guidewire, the guidewire may be backed out, thereby allowing the guidewire lumen to collapse. This collapse increases the cross sectional area available for blood flow in the perfusion lumen.
In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the perfusion lumen wall is supported by inflatable coil members. The balloon catheter has a reduced cross section when the perfusion lumen coil members are deflated. This allows the catheter to be more easily advanced into a narrow vessel region. When the balloon distal tip is in position, the perfusion lumen coil members are inflated, increasing the perfusion lumen cross section. The inflation pressure provided to the perfusion lumen must be sufficient to support the perfusion lumen against the pressures of the balloon inflation fluid when the balloon is inflated.
The present invention is thus an improved balloon angioplasty catheter. More specific features and advantages obtained in view of those features will become apparent with reference to the DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION, accompanying drawing figures, and appended claims.
Balloon assembly 10 includes a balloon envelope 16 which may be formed of a polyethylene/EVA blend, for example. A perfusion lumen 17 extends through the interior of the balloon envelope 16 from a proximal balloon waist 18 to a distal balloon waist 19. The perfusion lumen 17 is partially illustrated in
A balloon assembly tip 25 extends distally from the balloon envelope and the distal end of perfusion lumen 17 and defines a discharge lumen therein. The projecting tip 25 is provided with a plurality of discharge orifices 26 and 27 (see
To facilitate the discharge of flow through the perfusion lumen 17, the side, or side wall, orifices 26 and 27 may be elongated in the direction of extension of the projecting tip 25 and its interior discharge lumen. In the illustrated embodiment, this direction corresponds generally to the flow direction through the perfusion lumen 17. In a preferred embodiment, the orifices 26 and 27 are oval and have an aspect ratio of 1.5 to 1. To further facilitate discharge, the elongated tip 25 is provided with a portion 28 which converges distally, the orifices 26 and 27 passing through the side wall of the converging tip portion 28. The use of elongated orifices through the side wall of a converging tip has been found to significantly increase the flow through the perfusion lumen 17. The terminus 29 of the projecting tip 25 is generally cylindrical.
As described above, the catheter body includes a guidewire lumen 13. The guidewire lumen 13 extends from the catheter body and through the balloon assembly, including the balloon envelope, to terminate within the generally cylindrical portion 29 of projecting tip 25. The guidewire lumen 13 may be stepped down or otherwise decreased in size to facilitate reduction in the profile of the balloon assembly 10, in known manner. The guidewire lumen 13 extends through the perfusion lumen 17 and is bonded, in known manner, within the terminus 29 of projecting tip 25. The interior of projecting tip 25 forms a discharge lumen in fluid communication with the distal end of the perfusion lumen 17 (generally at waist 19) while the bonding of the guidewire lumen 13 at distal tip 29 prevents axial discharge of flow passing through the perfusion lumen 17.
Balloon waist 18 is generally cylindrical. Balloon assembly 10 further includes a generally cylindrical proximal extension from waist 18 indicated generally at 30. Extension 30 is skived (see
As described above, molded member 14 extends from the inflation lumen between guidewire lumen 13 and tubular member 12 to the interior of the balloon envelope 16. Member 14 has a divided interior flow lumen or passage for inflation fluid (see
In the first embodiment described herein, the guidewire extends through an axially fixed guidewire tube 46, through the balloon envelope 16, and into and including the discharge lumen 40. The guidewire 42 of this embodiment extends through an axially positionable guidewire tube 44 which, in turn, extends through the fixed guidewire tube 46, and through the balloon envelope 16 and into the discharge lumen 40. Fixed tube 46 has a distal end which terminates just prior to the proximal perfusion opening.
As previously discussed in this document, under certain circumstances it is advantageous not only to minimize the length of time during which blood flow during dilatation might be occluded, but also to maximize perfusion when perfusion is afforded. To facilitate maximization of perfusion, once the catheter has been installed at a desired location, displaceable tube 44 could be withdrawn from the perfusion lumen 17 and into the fixed tube 46. Because the guidewire 42 is unconstrained by displaceable tube 44, the cross-sectional area of the perfusion lumen 17 will be significantly increased in view of the absence of displaceable tube 44. Perfusion will be increased commensurately.
In some cases, it might be desirable to occlude or at least minimize egress of perfused blood through the main axial orifice at the distal end of the discharge lumen 40 defining the balloon assembly tip 25. In the embodiment of
It will be understood that, when the guidewire 42 is constrained by a displaceable guidewire tube 44 along its run through perfusion lumen 17, perfusion still could be increased when the guidewire 42 is withdrawn. This would be accomplished by making the displaceable guidewire tube 44 collapsible so that the cross-sectional area of the collapsed guidewire tube 44 would be significantly smaller than the cross-sectional area of the displaceable guidewire tube 44 when it constrains the guidewire 42. In the case of a collapsible displaceable guidewire tube 44, while perfusion will not be increased to the degree that it would when the displaceable guidewire tube 44 is retracted, perfusion would be significantly increased.
On the other hand, when the displaceable guidewire tube 44 is extended so that the expanded portion 50 thereof is spaced from the distal end of the discharge lumen 40, as seen in
At least one port is formed in the outer wall 84 by which the sleeve 76 is defined.
While it is desirable to have a large perfusion lumen cross section so as to maximize blood flow, it is also desirable to have a small overall balloon catheter cross section so as to allow for inserting the projecting tip and balloon past narrowed vessel regions. Several embodiments of the present invention address these conflicting goals.
The cross section of balloon head assembly 10 increases from terminus 29 to converging tip portion 28 to perfusion lumen distal end 104. By having distal end 104 smaller than proximal end 102, the distal portion of balloon head assembly 10 is small enough to enter narrow vessel regions not enterable by a head assembly having the larger cross section at proximal end 102. Using this embodiment, at least part of balloon envelope 16 may be brought to bear upon a narrow vessel region not enterable by entire balloon head assembly 10. After widening such a narrow stenotic region, head assembly 10 may be further advanced. In one embodiment of the invention decreasing cross section region 112 is a step decrease. In another embodiment, region 112 is a tapered decrease. In yet another embodiment, region 112 runs the entire length of perfusion lumen 117.
Perfusion lumen 117 may be formed of a flexible material 21 such as polyamide elastomer or urethane. In one embodiment, helical members 20 may be formed from a metallic ribbon. In another embodiment helical members 20 may be formed of stainless steel. Balloon inflation molded member 114 may be formed from polyamide elastomer, polypropylene or polyethylene for example, or otherwise molded of any suitable material. Guidewire lumen 113 may be formed of polyethylene or any other suitable material.
With both balloon envelope 16 and inflatable helical members 106 deflated, balloon head assembly 10 has a small deflated cross section, allowing for insertion into otherwise unreachable narrow vessel regions. With deflated head assembly 10 inserted into a narrow stenotic vessel region, inflation fluid is injected into perfusion lumen inflation lumen 108, the inflation fluid flowing into inflatable helical members 106, thereby inflating and providing support for perfusion lumen 217. With perfusion lumen 217 inflated, balloon envelope 16 may be inflated to widen the stenotic region while inflated perfusion lumen 217 provides radial outward support against the inward radial force of inflated balloon envelope 16. Providing for an inflatable perfusion lumen allows for a small balloon assembly cross section during insertion, when a small cross section is needed, and allows for a larger perfusion lumen cross section during balloon inflation, when blood perfusion is needed. In one embodiment, the balloon inflation lumen and perfusion lumen inflation lumen are separate. In yet another embodiment, the balloon inflation lumen and perfusion lumen inflation lumen are common.
In use, balloon head assembly 10 is advanced onto a narrowed stenotic vessel region. When the treating physician has placed the balloon across the lesion, guidewire 42 (not shown) is backed out of guidewire lumen 313, causing guidewire lumen 313 to collapse, increasing the cross sectional area in perfusion lumen 217 available for blood flow.
A collapsible guidewire lumen provides the advantage of increasing the unoccluded cross-section of the perfusion lumen when the guidewire is not needed. The sequence of catheter insertion, balloon inflation, and guidewire removal discussed above are illustrative only, not exhaustive.
Obviously many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. For example, while some material preferences have been indicated, any suitable material may be employed. Also, while a preferred array of discharge orifices is discussed above, other arrays of elongated discharge orifices may be employed to facilitate perfusion discharge. Indeed, the several teachings herein may be usefully employed in other perfusion applications. It is therefore to be understood that, within the scope of this appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.

text: With the Weeknd's newest single 'Often' being released this summer, it wasn't going to be long before someone released a remix to rival the original. Cue Kygo, Norwegian producer famed for his remixes of M83 and Ed Sheeran, to create a somehow even smoother version, with a pulsating synth that stabs through the echoing and cut up vocals. With a bass line subtle enough for the rest of the layers to become more complicated during the verses, the multiple silences in production are effective in highlighting its intricacy when it kicks in a few seconds later. A remix which, as stated earlier, could rival the original.
