Abstract: A system for reshaping a valve annulus includes an elongate template having a length along a longitudinal axis and at least one concavity in a generally lateral direction along said length. The pre-shaped template is positioned against at least a region of an inner peripheral wall of the valve annulus, and at least one anchor on the template is advanced into a lateral wall of the valve annulus to reposition at least one segment of the region of the inner peripheral wall of the valve annulus into said concavity. In this way, a peripheral length of the valve annulus can be foreshortened and/or reshaped to improve coaption of the valve leaflets and/or to eliminate or decrease regurgitation of a valve.

Abstract: The disclosure provides biodegradable implantable devices such as a stent comprising a biodegradable polymeric wherein the polymeric material is treated to control crystallinity and/or Tg. The stent is capable to expand at body temperature in a body lumen from a crimped configuration to a deployed diameter and have sufficient strength to support a body lumen.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for common mode filters with inverted inductive ground structures. In one embodiment, an example printed circuit board may have a first layer with a pair of differential transmission lines, and a common mode filter embedded in the printed circuit board. The common mode filter may include a signal reference structure and an inductive ground structure. The signal reference structure may include a first rectangular portion, and a second rectangular portion having the same dimensions. The second rectangular portion may be separated from the first rectangular portion by a distance. The inductive ground structure may include a first cell having a first conductive line coupled to a first side of the first rectangular portion and a first edge of the common mode filter, and a second cell having a second conductive line coupled to a first side of the second rectangular portion and the first edge.

Abstract: Luminal prostheses comprise scaffolds having coatings adhered to at least a portion of their outer surfaces. The surfaces are modified to enhance binding of the coatings. For example, the surfaces may be microblasted, laser treated, chemically etched, exposed to plasma, or exposed to a corona discharge, allowing a polymeric coating to adhere to the scaffold more tightly than in the absence of the surface modification. The coatings can be used to deliver therapeutic or other agents dispersed therein.
