Patent number: 11918462Abstract: Features for a heart valve device are described. The device may include a frame with anchors configured to secure the device to tissue. The frame may include a flared end or skirt for additional securement of the implanted device. The device may include a seal such as a barrier and/or cuff for preventing leakage. The device may contract for endovascular delivery of the device to the heart and expand for securement within the heart, such as the within the native mitral valve annulus. The device may include a replacement valve. The valve may have leaflets configured to re-direct blood flow along a primary flow axis.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Randall Lashinski, Matthew Rust, Patrick Macaulay, Richard Glenn

Publication number: 20230157823Abstract: Systems, devices and methods related to various heart valve implants and for delivery of those heart valve implants are described. The implants may be used to re-size a native valve annulus or to replace a native heart valve. The implants include a re-sizable frame having angled struts. Anchors secure the implant to tissue and collars are used to decrease the angle between the struts and contract the frame. The implant thus expands from a first size inside of a delivery catheter, to a second and larger deployed size inside the heart to engage and anchor with the tissue, and then to a third and contracted size to re-size the annulus and/or provide a secure fit for a replacement heart valve. Various delivery systems including imaging capabilities for precise delivery, positioning and anchoring of the various implants are further described.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2023Publication date: May 25, 2023Applicant: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Randall Lashinski, Kristian Kristoffersen, Matthew Rust, Richard Glenn, Terry Wayne Daniels, Michael Lee, Patrick Macaulay

Patent number: 11523903Abstract: A tray and packaging system for a prosthetic valve delivery system permits conversion from a storage and/or shipping configuration to a set up and preparation configuration. In a first configuration, a delivery system can be supported by first and second main trays with the elongate catheter of the delivery system arranged to extend linearly from the first main tray to the second main tray, and in a second configuration, the delivery system can be supported by the first and second main trays with the elongate catheter of the delivery system turned back in a U-shaped manner with the deployment portion of the delivery system positioned to the side of the control handle portion of the delivery system.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2020Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Robert Murray, Sameer Upadhyaya, Mark Casley, Patrick Macaulay, Ak Masud, Paul Cassidy, David Clarke

Patent number: 11241309Abstract: Methods related to delivery of various heart valve implants are described. The implant may be delivered using an ultrasound imaging delivery system. The ultrasound imaging delivery system may be used to deliver a variety of different devices, including mitral valve reshaping devices, mitral valve replacement valves, and others. A deployment catheter carrying an implant having a tissue anchor is advanced to a deployment site in a heart. An imaging element is positioned adjacent the implant and a relationship between the tissue anchor and an anatomical landmark in the heart is visualized. The implant is then attached by driving the tissue anchor into tissue in the heart.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2019Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Randall Lashinski, Kristian Kristoffersen, Matthew Rust, Richard Glenn, Michael Lee, Patrick Macaulay

Publication number: 20200323616Abstract: Excessive dilation of the annulus of a mitral valve may lead to regurgitation of blood during ventricular contraction. This regurgitation may lead to a reduction in cardiac output. Disclosed are systems and methods relating to an implant configured for reshaping a mitral valve. The implant comprises a plurality of struts with anchors for tissue engagement. The implant is compressible to a first, reduced diameter for transluminal navigation and delivery to the left atrium of a heart. The implant may then expand to a second, enlarged diameter to embed its anchors to the tissue surrounding and/or including the mitral valve. The implant may then contract to a third, intermediate diameter, pulling the tissue radially inwardly, thereby reducing the mitral valve and lessening any of the associated symptoms including mitral regurgitation.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2020Publication date: October 15, 2020Inventors: Randall Lashinski, Matthew Rust, Patrick Macaulay, Terry Wayne Daniels, Kris Kristoffersen
