The present invention relates to a nano-imprinting stamp for imprinting nanometer-sized to mm-sized structures, the stamp (1) having a base part and a first and a second imprinting section (2,3), the first and second imprinting sections having a lithographic pattern (7) intended for imprinting in a receiving substrate. In a first aspect, the first and the second imprinting sections (2,3) are independently displaceable in a direction substantially parallel to an imprinting direction of the imprinting stamp. In a second aspect, the first and the second imprinting sections (2,3) are mechanically weakly coupled in a direction substantially parallel to an imprinting direction of the imprinting stamp. The stamp limits the effect of imperfections in or on the substrate to be imprinted with a lithographic pattern (7) and imperfections in or on the stamp and any combinations of such imperfections by localising the bending of the stamp to the base part (5) in-between the imprinting sections (2,3).

Endovascular intervention methods entail creating a temporary capillary block in the vasculature of at least a portion of a patient's organ, such as a hemisphere of the patient's brain, the capillary block essentially blocking blood flow through capillaries in the portion of the patient's organ, and performing the endovascular intervention. Distal embolism protection devices include a blood pump and at least one of a centrifuge element, a dialysis element, a cooling element, and a filtration element. The blood pump is generally capable of drawing blood from a patient's vein, circulating the blood through each of the elements so that a characteristic of a blood component may be manipulated therewith, and perfusing the modified blood into a patient's artery. A capillary block is thereby created in the vasculature of at least a portion of a patient's organ with manipulated blood components.

An elastic structure is introduced percutaneously into the left ventricle and attached to the walls of the ventricle. Over time the structure bonds firmly to the walls via scar tissue formation. The structure helps the ventricle expand and fill with blood during the diastolic period while having little affect on systolic performance. The structure also strengthens the ventricular walls and limits the effects of congestive heart failure, as the maximum expansion of the support structure is limited by flexible or elastic members.
