Dr. Don Michael is a medical pioneer who provided the first description and invention of the esophageal obturator airway in CPR, the first invention of Food and Drug Administration and American Heart Association approved AIDs proof airway in CPR, the first description of precordial thump to pace the heart, and the first description of ultrasound angioplasty in man.

"Dr. Don Michael's mixes brilliance, expertise, and unparalleled clinical experience to provide three novel inventions for removal of arterial blockage and heart pacing," says Peter Johnson, Senior Vice President for all Medical transactions at ICAP Patent Brokerage. "Dr. Don Michael is a proven innovator who brings an important portfolio for any entity serious about pursing angioplasty, atherosclerosis, intravascular instruments, catheters, balloon catheters, guidewires, vascular surgery, endoscopic surgery, heart pacing and electrodes."

The technology for sale includes at least three relevant cardiovascular products: blood clot removal systems (US 8,679,058 and US 7,524,303), a distal protection double balloon catheter with bypass flow lumen (US 7,167,171), and a ventricular pacing system via an esophageal approach through the stomach (US 6,006,138). The blood clot removal systems include a kit composed of a relatively small number of relatively simple components that are capable of being used in various combinations and/or sequences to successfully treat all arterial obstructions that require urgent treatment. The kit performs angioplasty, stenting or clot removal procedures in a blood vessel, and can be used to remove thrombus prior to such procedures, especially in emergency situations. The distal protection double balloon catheter includes a bypass flow lumen that provides downstream microcirculatory system protection during a dual balloon catheter procedure. The ventricular pacing system provides a non-invasive means of pacing the heart by accessing the stomach adjacent the ventricles via the natural orifices of the mouth and esophagus.
