Patent number: 11439506Abstract: Prosthetic mitral valves described herein can be deployed using a transcatheter mitral valve delivery system and technique to interface and anchor in cooperation with the anatomical structures of a native mitral valve. This document describes prosthetic heart valve designs that interface with native mitral valve structures to create a fluid seal, thereby minimizing mitral regurgitation and paravalvular leaks. This document also describes prosthetic heart valve designs and techniques to manage blood flow through the left ventricular outflow tract. In addition, this document describes prosthetic heart valve designs and techniques that reduce the risk of interference between the prosthetic valves and chordae tendineae.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2020Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Caisson Interventional LLCInventors: Kavitha Ganesan, Ramji Venkatasubramanian, Andrew T. Forsberg, Cyril J. Schweich, Jr., Todd J. Mortier, Erik O. Martz, Douglas J. Krone

Patent number: 8372112Abstract: A closure device for sealing a patent foramen ovale (PFO) in the heart includes a left atrial anchor adapted to be placed in a left atrium of the heart, a right atrial anchor adapted to be placed in a right atrium of the heart, and a flexible elongate member adapted to extend through the passageway and connect the left and right atrial anchors. A delivery system for delivering the closure device includes a lock push tube for moving a lock along the elongate member and a wire release tube surrounding a wire for controlling movement of the right atrial anchor along the elongate member. The lock push tube and the wire release tube extend in a side-by-side relationship. A handle includes knobs for controlling the lock push tube and the wire. A device for retrieving a mis-deployed closure device includes a shaft portion and an expandable retrieval portion.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2004Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc.Inventors: Mark R.
