  • Bowed Runners for Paravalvular Leak Protection
    Publication number: 20230270542
    Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve for replacing a native valve includes a collapsible and expandable stent having a proximal end and a distal end, the stent being formed of a plurality of struts forming cells. A valve assembly is disposed within the stent, the valve assembly including a plurality of leaflets and a cuff. At least one runner is coupled to a cell and configured to transition from a first configuration to a second configuration when the stent moves from the collapsed condition to the expanded condition.
    Type: Application

  • Balloon expandable platform with retaining features for a collapsible valve
    Patent number: 9254191
    Abstract: Retainer structures (150) maintain stented valves (800) on the balloon (130) of a balloon catheter during delivery of the valve to an implantation node and subsequent expansion of the valve. The retainer structures define a raised edge relative to the outer surface of the balloon and limit movement of the valve longitudinally relative to the balloon. Deflation of the balloon following expansion of the valve stent releases the valve.
