Publication number: 20210137507Abstract: Suturing clips which may be guided to a heart by a trans-vascular/trans-septal approach, and yet operate to close the left atrial appendage (LAA) from a position located entirely within the LAA are described. Arms of suturing clips constructed of a superelastic alloy are expanded from a catheter delivery system, anchored within the LAA and/or ostium of the LAA, and then collapsed again to a suturing configuration. Collapse is optionally by a reverting mechanism, wherein arms are constrained to collapse back in a direction reverse to their original expansion; or by an everting mechanism, wherein arm portions move past their expanded position to close with each other on an opposite side of their original position. In some embodiments, delivery systems include further elements to assist in clip placement at the LAA, for example a spreader for spreading the LAA, and/or a stopper for preventing deep intrusion to the LAA.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2019Publication date: May 13, 2021Applicant: Endomatic Ltd.Inventors: Dvir KEREN, Boaz SCHWARZ, Shimrit MARKOVITZ

Patent number: 10595980Abstract: A temporary percutaneous valve-filter device having valve portions non-porous to blood and filter portions non-porous to emboli but at least in part porous to blood. In one embodiment, the device has a substantially flat valve unit and a substantially flat filter unit. In another embodiment, the device has at least one open umbrella deployed configuration. In one aspect, the device has a unitary construction with one umbrella canopy with one or more filter areas with flaps allowing unidirectional blood flow. In another aspect, the device has a valve unit and filter unit, the umbrella canopies oriented in opposite directions, and the valve unit “closes” and opens to allow blood to flow to one direction. Also provided is a temporary valve system, including a core having an inverted delivery configuration and everted deployed configuration, that may be used with or without a filter unit, and a method of deployment.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2014Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Valve Medical Ltd.Inventors: Yoram Richter, Ety Weisz, Boaz Schwarz
