  • DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR TREATING THE LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE
    Publication number: 20230263531
    Abstract: A system for treating a left atrial appendage, including a delivery catheter and an implant having a contact member configured to engage an inside tissue surface of the left atrial appendage and to rotate in at least a first direction from a first position to at least a second position so as to twist the left atrial appendage when the contact member is engaged with an inside tissue surface of the left atrial appendage. Some arrangements of the system include a support stand for supporting the delivery catheter during a procedure. Some arrangements of the implant include a securing element configured to engage the tissue of the left atrial appendage that has twisted.

  • DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR TREATING A TISSUE OF THE HEART
    Publication number: 20220087741
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a method of treating a tissue of the heart, for example and without limitation, a tissue of the left atrial appendage, including twisting at least a portion of a tissue of the left atrial appendage to constrict an ostium of the left atrial appendage, and ablating at least a portion of the tissue of the heart, which can include a tissue of the left atrial appendage, the ostium of the left atrial appendage, and/or at least a portion of a tissue adjacent to the ostium of the left atrial appendage.

  • Transcatheter prosthetic heart valve delivery system with recapturing feature
    Patent number: 10105223
    Abstract: A delivery system for percutaneously deploying a stented prosthetic heart valve. The system includes a delivery capsule and a recapture assembly. The capsule is configured to compressively retain the prosthesis. The recapture assembly includes a frame and sleeve attached to the frame. The recapture assembly is transitionable from a compressed arrangement to an expanded arrangement with a distally increasing diameter.
