  • Publication number: 20210393404
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and devices for the endovascular repair of cardiac valves, particularly the atrioventricular valves which inhibit back flow of blood from a heart ventricle during contraction. The procedures described herein can be performed with interventional tools, guides and supporting catheters and other equipment introduced to the heart chambers from the patient's arterial or venous vasculature remote from the heart. The interventional tools and other equipment may be introduced percutaneously or may be introduced via a surgical cut down, and then advanced from the remote access site through the vasculature until they reach the heart.

  • Patent number: 7626947
    Abstract: A telecommunications system. The system includes a first node. The system includes a second node. The system preferably includes at least one intermediate node in communication with the first node and the second node. The first node, second node and intermediate node defining a path. The first node repeatedly sending signaling through the intermediate node to the second node and receiving the signaling back to establish and maintain a connection between the first node, second node and intermediate node. The system includes means for dynamically placing connection points along the path through which the connection is established each time after signaling from the first node to the second node returns to the first node. A method for forming connections in a telecommunications system.
