Publication number: 20240041602Abstract: In one example, an implantable prosthetic device comprises a spacer body portion configured to be disposed between native leaflets of a heart, and an anchor portion configured to secure the native leaflets against the spacer body portion. The prosthetic device can be movable between multiple configurations. A size of the spacer body is configured to be adjusted after the spacer body is placed between the native valve leaflets and the pair of anchors are placed against the ventricular surfaces of the native heart valve leaflets. A delivery apparatus can have a first shaft and a second shaft, wherein movement of the first shaft relative to the second shaft moves the anchor portion relative to the spacer body.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Mark Chau, David M. Taylor, Alexander J. Siegel, Christopher J. Olson, Sergio Delgado, Alexander H. Cooper, Lauren R. Freschauf, Asher L. Metchik, Matthew T. Winston, Cristobal R. Hernandez, Emil Karapetian, Bao Khuu, Eric Robert Dixon, Amanda French, Philip P. Corso, JR.

Publication number: 20220104940Abstract: A prosthesis can be configured to grasp intralumenal tissue when deployed within a body cavity and prevent axial flow of fluid around an exterior of the prosthesis. The prosthesis can include an expandable frame configured to radially expand and contract for deployment within the body cavity and a valve body. The expandable frame can include a frame body and a supplemental frame. The valve body can include a plurality of leaflets and one or more intermediate components. The one or more intermediate components can couple at least a portion of the leaflets to the expandable frame. The prosthesis can include an annular flap positioned around an exterior of the expandable frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2021Publication date: April 7, 2022Applicant: Edwards Lifesciences CorporationInventors: Matthew A. Peterson, Seung-Beom Yi, Siddharth Vad, Travis Zenyo Oba, Lauren R. Freschauf, Amanda French, Yaron Keidar, Yuanlong Du, Gregory Bak-Boychuk, Kevin M. Golemo, Alexander H. Cooper

Patent number: 11224507Abstract: A heart valve prosthesis for replacing a native mitral valve includes a self-expanding frame with a plurality of anchoring members disposed along the lower region. A valve body is positioned within the self-expanding frame and includes a plurality of leaflets configured to allow blood flow through the self-expanding frame in only one direction. A skirt surrounds the self-expanding frame and is spaced apart therefrom for contacting surrounding tissue and impeding blood flow around the self-expanding frame. The skirt may be reinforced with wires to help maintain a desired shape. The leaflets in the valve body are preferably connected to the self-expanding frame through one or more intermediate components such that the valve body is spaced radially inwardly from an inner surface of the self-expanding frame.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2019Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: Edwards Lifesciences CorporationInventors: Matthew A. Peterson, Seung-Beom Yi, Siddharth Vad, Travis Zenyo Oba, Lauren R. Freschauf, Amanda French, Yaron Keidar, Yuanlong Du, Gregory Bak-Boychuk, Kevin M. Golemo, Alexander H. Cooper
