Patent number: 11571216Abstract: Aortic occlusion and embolic protection devices include radially expandable and collapsible proximal and distal end portions, such as annular self-expanding stents or frames, that are configured to radially expand within an aorta to secure the device within the aorta. The devices can also include a catheter extending axially between the distal end portion and the proximal end portion and a porous covering, or filter, positioned around the catheter and between the proximal end portion and the distal end portion and configured to filter emboli from blood flowing into upper-body arteries. The device can further include a one-way valve positioned at or adjacent to the distal end portion of the device and configured to restrict retrograde blood flow through the device toward the heart.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2020Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Edwards Lifesciences CorporationInventors: Mark M.

Patent number: 11529233Abstract: Methods and devices for the treatment of cardiac valve dysfunction through the placement of lines and anchors. The lines and anchors can form artificial chordae between valve leaflets and the ventricular wall or papillary muscles or connect the two valve leaflets together. The methods and devices offer a mechanism for performing this technique with the heart still beating, and allows for the placement of multiple lines with a single device.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2020Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: Edwards Lifesciences CorporationInventors: Yaron Keidar, Adam J.

Publication number: 20220387766Abstract: An aortic occlusion and perfusion device includes an expandable member configured to expand within the aorta. A catheter extends proximally from the expandable member in fluid communication with the expandable member. The catheter defines openings through which blood can pass with one or more of the openings located proximal to the expandable member and one or more of the openings located within the expandable member. The catheter defines a lumen in fluid communication with the one or more openings located within the expandable member, the lumen terminating at a terminus such that the lumen is not in fluid communication with a distal end portion of the catheter. A flow control sheath is disposed around the catheter proximal to the expandable member such that axial movement of the flow control sheath relative to the catheter selectively occludes or uncovers the one or more openings located proximal to the expandable member.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2022Publication date: December 8, 2022Inventors: Kenneth Eliasen, Adam J. Yestrepsky

Patent number: 11413434Abstract: An aortic occlusion and perfusion device includes an expandable member configured to expand within the aorta to secure the device within the aorta, and a catheter extending proximally from the expandable member and in fluid communication with the expandable member. The catheter can define a plurality of openings along its length through which blood can pass with one or more of the openings located proximal to the expandable member and one or more of the openings located within the expandable member. The device can also include a flow control sheath disposed around the catheter member such that axial movement of the flow control sheath relative to the catheter selectively occludes or uncovers one or more of the openings located proximal to the expandable member.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2019Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: Edwards Lifesciences CorporationInventors: Kenneth Eliasen, Adam J.

Patent number: 11285004Abstract: A method for repairing a native valve of a patient during a non-open-heart procedure includes attaching two or more attachment members to the native valve. The method also includes applying a force to the two or more attachment members such that the two or more attachment members cause a cinching effect on at least a portion of the native valve. The method further includes securing the two or more attachment members with one or more anchor members such that the two or more attachment members maintain the cinching effect.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2019Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: Edwards Lifesciences CorporationInventors: Sven Benjamin Iversen, Adam J. Yestrepsky, Amy E. Munnelly, Bin Tian, Danny Barrientos Baldo, Jr., Brian S. Conklin, Louis A. Campbell, John Richard Carpenter, Derrick Johnson
