Publication number: 20210196458Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve includes at least one sealing member. The sealing member is adapted to conform to any surface irregularities found on the inner surface of the valve annulus, including any calcium deposits formed on the valve leaflets. The sealing member can be self-expanding or non-expanding. When deployed, the sealing member is adapted to create a blood tight seal between the prosthetic heart valve and the inner surface of the valve annulus thereby minimizing and/or eliminating perivalvular leakage at the implantation site.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2021Publication date: July 1, 2021Inventors: Rakesh M. Suri, W. Andrew Ziarno, Eric Manasse

Patent number: 10058313Abstract: Techniques for reaching the interior of the heart, such as for aortic valve replacement, can combine elements of percutaneous implantation methods and elements of surgical implantation methods. In some instances, aortic valve replacement may include a dual transapical approach in which a transfemoral approach is used to reach the apex of the patient's heart from inside the left ventricle while a minimally invasive surgical procedure provides access to the exterior of the apex via an intercostal approach.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2016Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: Sorin Group Italia S.r.l.Inventor: Eric Manasse

Patent number: 8840661Abstract: An atraumatic heart valve prosthesis includes a prosthetic valve coupled to an expandable anchoring structure including a outflow portion configured to taper inwardly in a distal direction towards a central axis of the prosthesis. By this configuration, the distal end of the anchoring structure imparts less force upon the vessel wall (e.g., the aortic tunica intima) during continued expansion and contraction of the heart. The expandable anchoring structure can be balloon expandable or self-expanding.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2009Date of Patent: September 23, 2014Assignee: Sorin Group Italia S.r.l.Inventor: Eric Manasse

Patent number: 8808367Abstract: A device for implanting an expandable heart valve prosthesis at a valve annulus in a patient's heart includes an implantation device configured to extend from a first opening in the patient's body, through the patient's aorta, through a valve annulus, through an opening in a ventricle, and to exit through the patient's thoracic region. The device further includes a port having a hemostasis valve for providing access through the patient's thoracic region and into the ventricle and at least two interchangeable modules configured for delivery using the implantation device.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2007Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignees: Sorin Group Italia S.r.l., Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and ResearchInventors: Rakesh Mark Suri, Franco Vallana, Giovanni Rolando, Giovanni Righini, Brent Russell Phillips, Eric Manasse

Publication number: 20100076376Abstract: A tool for facilitating access to the inside of a vessel and/or surgery on a vessel or an organ connected to the vessel. The vessel has a proximal end and a distal end, while the tool has a substantially cylindrical band and an arm. The band has a deployed configuration capable of opening the proximal portion of the vessel. The arm is connected to the band and has a deployed configuration capable of at least partially flattening the distal end of the vessel to improve the view inside the vessel. When deployed in a vessel, the tool holds the vessel in an open configuration and provides the physician with a surgical operating field, and the ability to pass a prosthesis through said tool and in a desired location within an organ.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2008Publication date: March 25, 2010Applicant: Sorin Biomedica Cardio S. r. l.Inventors: Eric Manasse, Franco vallana
