Abstract: An implantable prosthetic posterior mitral valve is described where one variation generally includes a frame. A posterior leaflet having one or more scallops may be connected to the frame such that the scallops extend from the frame for coaptation against a native anterior leaflet when the frame is deployed. At least one arm member may be connected to the frame such that the arm member extends laterally in a curved configuration configured to approximate a curvature of a native mitral annulus when the frame is deployed, and an anchoring leg may be connected to the frame and extend in a superior direction from a posterior side of the frame and defines a capture region between the anchoring leg and the posterior side. The capture region may be sized to receive at least a portion of a native posterior leaflet in an elongated state when the frame is deployed.

Abstract: The present embodiments relate to systems and methods for treating luminal valves. Particularly, and in accordance with one aspect, the present disclosure is directed to methods and systems for partial or complete replacement of luminal valves. An exemplary catheter in accordance with the disclosure includes an elongate body having a proximal end and a distal end, and a retractable sheath mounted on the elongate body proximate the distal end. The sheath and elongate body cooperating to define a first annularly-shaped compartment between the body and sheath. The catheter further includes a valve prosthesis mounted in the compartment, the prosthesis having proximal and distal ends connected to a means for deploying the valve prosthesis from the catheter.

Abstract: A partial valve prosthesis includes a framework configured for following a shape of a portion of the native valve annulus when implanted into the native valve annulus, the framework including securement features for anchoring the framework to an inner periphery of the native valve annulus and retaining at least one leaflet configured to replace a corresponding one of the plurality of native leaflets; and at least one leaflet secured to the framework. Additional embodiments and methods are disclosed.
