  • Publication number: 20240350263
    Abstract: Prosthetic heart valves may be delivered to a targeted native heart valve site via one or more delivery catheters. In some embodiments, the prosthetic heart valves are implanted using catheter-based deployment systems that include multiple control wires. In particular implementations, the deployment systems can include a retrieval catheter that can be used to recapture the prosthetic heart valve back into a delivery sheath after being expressed from the delivery sheath. The prosthetic heart valves occupy a small delivery profile, thereby facilitating a smaller delivery catheter system for advancement to the heart. Some delivery catheter systems can include a curved control catheter and/or a deflectable catheter to facilitate deployment of the prosthetic heart valve to a native tricuspid valve site via a superior vena cava or inferior vena cava.

  • Patent number: 6814585
    Abstract: The present invention includes an interconnect contact and system. The contact generally includes a first contact element, a second contact element, and a biasing member. The first contact element has a contacting surface and an engagement surface. The second contact element has a contacting surface and an engagement surface. The engagement surfaces of the elements are generally constructed to contact each other. The biasing member provides a mechanism to move at least one element of the contact.
