Vascular Flow Restriction Device Patent Granted
Summary
USPTO granted Patent US12588910B1 to Vahaticor, Inc. for vascular flow restriction devices and related systems and methods. The patent covers technology for deploying a flow restriction device in patient vascular systems with the ability to recapture and reposition the device after partial or full deployment, including confirmation of placement via pressure drop measurements in the coronary sinus.
What changed
USPTO issued Patent Grant US12588910B1 on March 31, 2026, to Vahaticor, Inc. for a vascular flow restriction device system and method. The patent (Application No. 17982912, filed November 8, 2022) covers deployment of flow restriction devices in patient vasculature with recapture and repositioning capabilities after partial or full deployment. The technology enables confirmation of device placement through pressure drop measurements across the deployed device in the coronary sinus before permanent implantation.
This patent grant grants Vahaticor exclusive intellectual property rights to the claimed vascular flow restriction technology in the United States. Competitors developing similar devices should review the patent claims to assess potential infringement risks. Medical device companies engaged in cardiovascular flow restriction technology may need to evaluate whether their products fall within the scope of the single patent claim.

Abstract
System and method for deploying a flow restriction device in patient vascular and recapturing and repositioning the flow device after full or partial deployment. Disclosed systems and methods permit confirmation of device placement, such as by measuring a pressure drop across the partially or fully deployed device in the coronary sinus before release of the device and permanent implantation.
