Publication number: 20200352715Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2020Publication date: November 12, 2020Inventors: Adam Groothuis, Adrian Ebner, Peter Markham, Elazer Edelman

Patent number: 10807642Abstract: A control unit for a reverse parking assistance system of a vehicle is configured to determine a reverse travel trajectory for a reverse travel from an end position to a start position based on reference data relating to a first forward travel of the vehicle. Furthermore, the control unit is configured to control a steering device of the vehicle during the reverse travel of the vehicle as a function of the reverse travel trajectory. In addition, the control unit is configured to detect that the vehicle leaves the reverse travel trajectory on the reverse travel. Furthermore, the control unit is configured to bring about, as a reaction thereto, that in a second forward travel, the vehicle is guided to a reverse travel position, which makes it possible to guide the vehicle again along at least one section of the reverse travel trajectory to the start position.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2019Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Adrian Ebner, Michael Stroebel

Patent number: 8888844Abstract: A method according to one embodiment may include providing a heart valve implant including an anchor capable of engaging coronary tissue, a shaft coupled to said anchor, and a valve body coupled to said shaft. The method may further include at least partially collapsing the heart valve implant and percutaneously inserting the heart valve implant into a heart. The percutaneously inserted implant may be secured within the heart and may then be expanded. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2012Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Cardiosolutions, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth Arden Eliasen, Steven J.
