Publication number: 20230157816Abstract: A side-deliverable prosthetic heart valve includes a valve frame defining an aperture that extends along a central axis and a flow control component mounted within the aperture and configured to permit selective blood flow therethrough. The prosthetic heart valve has a compressed configuration for side-delivery to a heart of a patient via a delivery catheter. The prosthetic heart valve is configured to transition to an expanded configuration when released from the delivery catheter for seating in a native annulus. The valve frame includes distal, proximal, and septal anchoring elements, each of which is insertable through the native annulus prior to seating the prosthetic heart valve therein. The septal anchoring element is configured to extend below the annulus and contact ventricular septal tissue to stabilize the prosthetic heart valve in the annulus when the prosthetic heart valve is seated in the annulus.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2022Publication date: May 25, 2023Applicant: VDyne, Inc.Inventor: Chad PERRIN

Publication number: 20230000626Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve can include an outer support assembly, an inner valve assembly, which define between them an annular space, and a pocket closure that bounds the annular space to form a pocket in which thrombus can be formed and retained. Alternatively, or additionally, the outer support assembly and the inner valve assembly can be coupled at the ventricle ends of the outer support assembly and the inner valve assembly, with the outer support assembly being relatively more compliant in hoop compression in a central, annulus portion than at the ventricle end, so that the prosthetic valve can seat securely in the annulus while imposing minimal loads on the inner valve assembly that could degrade the performance of the valve leaflets.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2022Publication date: January 5, 2023Applicant: Tendyne Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Mark Christianson, Chad Perrin, Zachary Tegels, Craig Ekvall, Robert Vidlund, Son Mai, Michael Evans

Publication number: 20220395370Abstract: A side-deliverable prosthetic heart valve includes an outer frame and a flow control component. The outer frame defines a central channel that extends along a central axis. The flow control component is disposed within the central channel and coupled to the outer frame. The flow control component has a set of leaflets mounted within an inner frame. The prosthetic valve is configured to be folded along a longitudinal axis and compressed along the central axis to place the prosthetic valve in a compressed configuration for delivery via a delivery catheter. The longitudinal axis is substantially parallel to a lengthwise axis of the delivery catheter when disposed therein. The prosthetic valve transitions to an expanded configuration when released from the delivery catheter. The flow control component elastically deforms from a substantially cylindrical configuration to a substantially flattened configuration when the prosthetic valve is placed in the compressed configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2022Publication date: December 15, 2022Applicant: VDyne, Inc.Inventors: Robert VIDLUND, Chad PERRIN, Neelakantan SAIKRISHNAN, Mark CHRISTIANSON

Publication number: 20220280296Abstract: A side-deliverable prosthetic heart valve includes an outer frame and a flow control component. The outer frame has a supra-annular region, a subannular region, and a transannular region therebetween. The flow control component is mounted to the outer frame such that at least a portion of the flow control component is disposed in the transannular region. The prosthetic valve has a delivery configuration for side-delivery via a delivery catheter and is expandable when the prosthetic valve is released from the delivery catheter. The subannular region of the outer frame is disposable in a first configuration as the prosthetic valve is seated in an annulus of a native heart valve and is transitionable to a second configuration after the prosthetic valve is seated in the annulus of the native heart valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2022Publication date: September 8, 2022Applicant: VDyne, Inc.Inventors: Mark CHRISTIANSON, Robert VIDLUND, Neelakantan SAIKRISHNAN, Scott KRAMER, Chad PERRIN, Lucas HARDER

Publication number: 20210186693Abstract: A delivery system for side-delivery of a prosthetic valve includes a compression device defining a lumen having a first perimeter at a proximal end that is larger than a second perimeter of the lumen at a distal end. A loading device is coupleable to the compression device and defines a lumen having substantially the second perimeter. A distal end of the loading device includes a first gate that is movable between an open state and a closed state to at least partially occlude the lumen of the loading device. A delivery device defines a lumen having substantially the second perimeter. A proximal end of the delivery device is coupleable to the distal end of the loading device and includes a second gate movable between an open state and a closed state to at least partially occlude the lumen of the delivery device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2021Publication date: June 24, 2021Applicant: VDyne, Inc.Inventors: Robert VIDLUND, I, Mark Christianson, Neelakantan Saikrishnan, Scott Kramer, Chad Perrin, Lucas Harder, David Holtan, Craig Ekvall, Cameron Vidlund

Publication number: 20200345487Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described herein for use in the transvascular delivery and deployment of a prosthetic mitral valve. In some embodiments, a method includes inverting an outer frame of a prosthetic mitral valve when the valve is in a biased expanded configuration. After inverting the outer frame, the prosthetic mitral valve is inserted into a lumen of a delivery sheath such that the mitral valve is moved to a collapsed configuration. The distal end portion of the delivery sheath is inserted into a left atrium of a heart. The prosthetic mitral valve is moved distally out of the delivery sheath such that the inverted outer frame reverts and the prosthetic mitral valve assumes its biased expanded configuration. In some embodiments, actuation wires are used to assist in the reversion of the outer frame. The prosthetic mitral valve is then positioned within a mitral annulus of the heart.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2020Publication date: November 5, 2020Applicant: Tendyne Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Mark Christianson, Zachary R.
