Publication number: 20140316517Abstract: Prosthetic valves and their component parts are described, as are prosthetic valve delivery devices and methods for their use. The prosthetic valves are particularly adapted for use in percutaneous aortic valve replacement procedures. The delivery devices are particularly adapted for use in minimally invasive surgical procedures. The preferred delivery device includes a catheter having a deployment mechanism attached to its distal end, and a handle mechanism attached to its proximal end. A plurality of tethers are provided to selectively restrain the valve during deployment. A number of mechanisms for active deployment of partially expanded prosthetic valves are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2014Publication date: October 23, 2014Applicant: CARDIACMD, INC.Inventors: David C.

Patent number: 8500799Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for operation of a prosthetic valve support structure (32) having additional reinforcement coupled with panels (36). Multiple support members (620) are distributed across the inner surface of the valve support structure (32) at regular intervals. Each support member (620) can include a looped portion (621) to act as a hinge (52). Each looped portion (621) is in a location coincidental with the interlace between adjacent panels (36).Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2007Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: CardiacMD, Inc.Inventors: David C.

Patent number: 8376865Abstract: Torque shafts and other related systems and methods are described herein. The torque shafts are both flexible and capable of transmitting torque. The torque shafts are useful for procedures that require torque and pushability to drive or deploy a device. The flexibility and pushability of the torque shafts enable them to curve along a tortuous path, and the torque transferring capability of the shafts enable them to transmit torque along the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2007Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: CardiacMD, Inc.Inventors: David C. Forster, Brian Beckey, Brandon Walsh, Scott Heneveld, Alex T. Roth
