  • Non-axisymmetric aortic valve devices
    Patent number: 9814574
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides aortic valve prosthetic devices that are constructed in a non-axisymmetric shape, or are expandable to a non-axisymmetric shape for improved results in the repair of defective aortic valves. The devices can be surgically implanted, or they can be implanted percutaneously through an insertion catheter. The expandable devices can be self-expanding or expanded by an inflatable balloon to a non-axisymmetric cross-section geometry.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 14, 2015
    Date of Patent: November 14, 2017
    Assignee: Biostable Science & Engineering, Inc.
    Inventors: J Scott Rankin, Al Beavan, William E. Cohn

  • Aortic Valve Devices
    Publication number: 20120143324
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides aortic valve prosthetic devices that are constructed in an elliptical shape, or are expandable to an elliptical shape for improved results in the repair of defective aortic valves. The devices can be surgically implanted, or they can be implanted percutaneously through an insertion catheter. The expandable devices can be self-expanding or expanded by an inflatable balloon to an elliptical cross section geometry.
