  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR RAPID RETRACTION OF A TRANSCATHETER HEART VALVE DELIVERY SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20230074473
    Abstract: Methods for the rapid retraction of trans-catheter heart valve delivery systems are provided. A rapid retraction trans-catheter heart valve delivery system comprises a catheter based delivery system. The delivery system has internal mechanisms that allow for the controlled deployment of a heart valve prosthesis, as well as mechanisms that allow for quickly closing the catheter once the heart valve prosthesis has been implanted. This rapid retraction ability allows for reduced procedural durations and thus reduced risk to the patient.
    Type: Application

  • PROSTHETIC VALVE FOR AVOIDING OBSTRUCTION OF OUTFLOW
    Publication number: 20220257370
    Abstract: A prosthetic mitral valve may be anchored in a native mitral valve. The prosthetic mitral valve preferably has a large anterior prosthetic leaflet that spans the entire width of the native anterior leaflet and the anterior prosthetic leaflet moves away from left ventricular outflow tract during systole to create a clear unobstructed outflow path.
