Patent number: 10123872Abstract: Devices and methods are provided for surgical repair of dilated aortic root to restore aortic valve competence while preserving native leaflets. In one aspect of the invention an expandable annuloplasty ring is provided for external placement at the base of a dilated aortic root. The expandable ring is capable of elastically expanding between a first diastolic diameter and a larger second systolic diameter to provide a physiologically representative surgical repair of the aortic root. In a further aspect of the invention, is provided a holder assembly for aortic annuloplasty ring and suitable for other cardiac valve prosthesis. The holder assembly consists of a holder body pivotingly coupled to a handle member through a ball-and-socket arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2017Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Coroneo, Inc.Inventors: Neil Bulman-Fleming, Emmanuel Lansac, Trong Tin Nguyen, Anthony Paolitto, Jonathan Paquette, Adrian Ranga, Valerio Valentini

Patent number: 8734506Abstract: An annuloplasty ring to resize a dilated aortic root during valve sparing surgery includes a scalloped space frame having three trough sections connected to define three crest sections. The annuloplasty ring is mounted outside the aortic root, and extends in height between a base plane and a spaced apart commissure plane of the aortic root. At least two adjacent trough sections are coupled by an annulus-restraining member or tether that limits the maximum deflection of the base of the annuloplasty ring. In use, the tether is preferably located in proximity to the base plane of the aortic root. The annuloplasty ring is movable between a first, substantially conical configuration occurring during a diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle, and a second, substantially cylindrical configuration occurring during a systolic phase of the cardiac cycle.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2011Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Coroneo, Inc.Inventors: Neil Bulman-Fleming, Raymond Cartier, Valerio Valentini, Anthony Paolitto
