  • REPLACEMENT HEART VALVES AND THEIR METHODS OF USE AND MANUFACTURE
    Publication number: 20240074850
    Abstract: A prosthetic valve has a support structure that meets with a plurality of leaflets capable of transitioning between open and closed states. The support structure can include a base frame with a polymer coating and the leaflets can be artificial. The interface between the support structure and each leaflet can be at least partially convex when viewed from an exterior of the support structure along a normal to a plane formed by a central axis of the support structure and a central axis of the leaflet.

  • PROSTHETIC HEART VALVES WITH ELASTIC SUPPORT STRUCTURES AND RELATED METHODS
    Publication number: 20230346547
    Abstract: Prosthetic heart valves having elastic leaflets and an elastic support structure are described. The support structure can exhibit a precursory transition from the closed position to the open position. The support structures can exhibit a sinusoidal movement profile at a base edge during the precursory transition.

  • Prosthetic heart valves with elastic support structures and related methods
    Patent number: 11534293
    Abstract: Prosthetic heart valves having elastic leaflets and an elastic support structure are described. The support structure can store a load transferred from the leaflets as potential energy and then release it in the form of kinetic energy to exhibit a precursory transition from the closed position to the open position. The support structures can exhibit a sinusoidal movement profile at a base edge during the precursory transition.
