Abstract: Improved features of medical devices. Implants that may include self-expanding portions and portions that are expandable with an inflatable body. A portion expandable with an inflatable body may dock with a portion that is self-expanding. A portion expandable with an inflatable body may be coupled to a portion that is self-expanding. Delivery apparatuses for deployment of both a self-expanding portion and a portion expandable with an inflatable body may be disclosed.

Abstract: Adjustable leaflets for prosthetic heart valves are disclosed. As an example, a leaflet for a prosthetic valve can include a main body with a free, outflow edge and a cusp edge portion, and two tabs disposed on opposite sides of the main body, adjacent to the outflow edge. Each tab can include a tab body extending from the main body of the leaflet and a plurality of projections extending outward from the tab body. The projections of the plurality of projections are spaced apart from one another along the tab body to form a plurality of notches therebetween.

Abstract: A coil implant for treating a native heart valve includes a coil. The coil extends along a central axis and includes an adjustable section having an adjustable curvature. The adjustable section of the coil includes a plurality of cuts to allow the adjustable section to be moved from a first position with a first radius of curvature to a second position with a second radius of curvature. The coil is configured to draw native valve anatomy radially inwards.

Abstract: Expandable frames for docking an expandable medical device can include a plurality of struts defining a plurality of cells. The expandable frame has an hourglass shaped profile when in an expanded condition, with flared endmost retaining portions, convex medial sealing portions, and a concave central waist portion. The convex medial sealing portions have a substantially uniform axially extending rounded contour in profile extending from the concave central waist portion to the flared endmost retaining portions.

Abstract: Embodiments of a surgical access port system that comprises a retractor that is adapted for being coupled to a cap and that is particularly useful in natural orifice surgery are described.

Abstract: An anchoring device that can be positioned within a native valve, such as the native mitral valve, to secure a replacement prosthetic valve in place. The anchoring device can comprise a docking station formed of an elastic tube-like member defining a generally coiled shape. The docking station can have an atrial or stabilization turn, a leading or encircling turn, and a central region. In many embodiments, the docking device possess a plurality of cuts on opposing sides of the tube-like member to allow biasing of the member.
