  • BALLOON EXPANDABLE TRANSCATHETER VALVE DELIVERY DEVICES AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20230397988
    Abstract: Balloon catheters for delivery of prosthetic heart valves are configured to deploy a prosthetic heart valve through inflation. The balloon catheters are further configured with one or more retention bumpers to reduce or prevent migration of the prosthetic heart valve during delivery. Balloon catheters described herein may include expandable multipart retention bumpers.

  • BALLOON EXPANDABLE TRANSCATHETER VALVE DELIVERY DEVICE SHAFT REINFORCEMENT DEVICES
    Publication number: 20230372095
    Abstract: A balloon catheter configured for delivery of a prosthetic heart valve is provided. The balloon catheter is configured to deploy a prosthetic heart valve through inflation. The balloon catheter is provided with a reinforcing member configured to increase the rigidity of the balloon catheter over an operational portion of the device. The increased rigidity serves to prevent damage to an introducer sheath, patient anatomy, or the prosthetic heart valve during delivery of the prosthetic heart valve.

  • CATHETERS WITH STRUCTURALLY SUPPORTED EXPANDABLE ELEMENTS AND METHODS FOR SAME
    Publication number: 20190351198
    Abstract: A balloon catheter includes a catheter shaft extending between proximal and distal end portions along a shaft axis. The catheter shaft includes an inflation lumen, and at least one inflation port in communication with the inflation lumen. A balloon assembly is coupled with the catheter shaft and in communication with the at least one inflation port. The balloon assembly includes a balloon membrane having a balloon body, a balloon proximal nose and a balloon distal nose coupled with the catheter shaft. An interlaced jacket is coupled with the balloon membrane, the interlaced jacket includes interlaced filaments extending at diverging angles relative to the shaft axis.
