Publication number: 20210196280Abstract: An elongate member has a longitudinal axis, and has an elongated configuration in which the elongate member defines (i) a first portion that defines a first-portion folding line, substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis, (ii) a second portion that defines a second-portion folding line, substantially parallel to the first-portion folding line, and (iii) an oblique folding line, longitudinally between the first portion and the second portion. The oblique folding line is nonparallel and nonorthogonal to the longitudinal axis. A tensioning member weaves longitudinally along the elongate member such that applying tension to the tensioning member transitions the elongate member toward a folded configuration by folding (i) the first and second portions about their respective folding lines, and (ii) the elongate member about the oblique folding line in a manner that positions the first-portion folding line nonparallel to the second-portion folding line.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2021Publication date: July 1, 2021Inventors: Steven D. Cahalane, Jason H. Robinson

Patent number: 9750608Abstract: A system is provided for delivering respective anchors into spaced apart locations along an annulus of a mitral valve. The system includes a first catheter member having a first lumen formed therein for receiving a first guide wire and also includes a second catheter member that is configured to move between an expanded position and a collapsed position relative to the first catheter member. The second catheter member has a lumen formed therein for receiving a second guide wire when the second catheter member is in the expanded position. The second catheter member is fixedly connected to the first catheter member by a first connector (that defines first and second living hinges) which is configured to deploy under a select condition to automatically cause the second catheter member to move to the expanded position.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2014Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: MITRALIGN, INC.Inventors: Paul A. Spence, Donald S. Baim, Edward I. McNamara, Hiroatsu Sugimoto, Joseph P. Lane, Christopher Lee, Jason H. Robinson, Aaron M. Call, Richard J. Morrill

Patent number: 9750493Abstract: A tissue anchoring system includes a tissue anchor member that is suitable for anchoring against tissue. The system also includes a tensioning member operatively connected to the anchor member such that the anchor member can slide relative to the tensioning member, the tensioning member capable of being pulled to cause the anchor member to move relative to the tensioning member into a position seated against the tissue. A hand operated deployment catheter is operable to extend and deploy the anchor member therefrom. The deployment catheter includes a rotatable member about which the tensioning member is routed and a clutch assembly for limiting tension within the tensioning member to prevent the deployed anchor from being pulled through the tissue.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2014Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: MITRALIGN, INC.Inventors: Jason H. Robinson, Steven D. Cahalane, Megan E. Holmes, Christopher Lee, Michael W. Sutherland, Aaron M. Call, James M. Sellers, Michael R. Cole, Gregory J. Kenny, Mathew S. Cardinali

Patent number: 9358111Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for securing tissue including the annulus of a mitral valve. The systems, devices and methods may employ catheter based techniques and devices to plicate tissue and perform an annuloplasty. One of the methods includes positioning at least two discrete, flat first anchor elements along a first side of a tissue of the mitral valve annulus in stacked relationship and at least two other discrete, flat first anchor elements along the second side of the tissue of the mitral valve annulus in stacked relationship.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2013Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: MITRALIGN, INC.Inventors: Paul A. Spence, Donald S. Baim, Edward I. McNamara, Hiroatsu Sugimoto, Joseph P. Lane, Jason H. Robinson, Aaron M. Call, Steven D. Cahalane, Mark Maguire, Kate E. Cutuli
