  • Valve with delayed leaflet deployment
    Patent number: 8414641
    Abstract: A valve for use in a body lumen, where the valve includes a valve leaflet with delayed leaflet deployment relative an in vivo implant time. The valve includes a valve frame, a valve leaflet coupled to the valve frame. The valve leaflet includes a commissure that can reversibly seal for unidirectional flow of a liquid through the valve, and a biodegradable adhesive between the valve leaflet and the valve frame to hold at least the commissure of the valve leaflet in a static relationship relative the valve frame for a predetermined time once implanted in vivo.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 2, 2012
    Date of Patent: April 9, 2013
    Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.
    Inventors: Patrick J. Stocker, Joseph C. Walker
