Patent number: 11903827Abstract: This document provides devices and methods for the treatment of heart conditions. For example, this document provides prosthetic heart valves and transcatheter heart valve replacement methods. The prosthetic heart valves can be configured into a low-profile configuration for containment within a small diameter delivery sheath. The prosthetic heart valves include can include a valve member attached to a stent frame. In some embodiments, the valve member is a molded biomaterial with a novel shape and resulting performance characteristics. Localized protective covering members can be attached to the stent frame to prevent the valve member from contacting the stent frame as the valve member cycles between its open and closed configurations.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2023Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Anteris Technologies CorporationInventors: Jason Quill, William Leon Neethling, Christopher B. Brodeur, Ramji Iyer, Kaitlyn Roth

Patent number: 11833038Abstract: In some embodiments, a valve prosthesis includes an inlet portion that is substantially s-shaped and configured to engage the floor of the outflow tract of the native heart atrium. In some embodiments, a valve prosthesis includes a chordae guiding element configured to reduce bending of the chordae to reduce stress on the chordae during the cardiac cycle. In some embodiments, a valve prosthesis includes a central portion having an hourglass shape configured to pinch a native annulus in order to provide axial fixation of the valve prosthesis within a valve site. In some embodiments, a valve prosthesis includes a frame having an outflow end that is flared to provide a gap between an outflow end of the frame and an outflow end of prosthetic leaflets when the prosthetic leaflets are fully opened.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2020Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: MEDTRONIC, INC.Inventors: Igor Kovalsky, Jason Quill, Daniel Glozman, Ilia Hariton, Yossi Tuval, Nadav Yellin

Patent number: 11833044Abstract: A delivery system for percutaneously delivering a heart valve prosthesis to a site of a native heart valve includes a delivery catheter and a heart valve prosthesis. The delivery catheter includes an outer sheath, an inner shaft, and an orifice restriction mechanism. The heart valve prosthesis has a valve member and a docking member. When the orifice restriction mechanism is positioned within the docking member within an annulus of the native heart valve, the orifice restriction mechanism temporarily replicates the operation of the native heart valve until the valve member is positioned within the docking member.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2020Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Medtronic Vascular, Inc.Inventors: Marian Lally, James R.

Patent number: 11826250Abstract: A delivery system for percutaneously deploying a valve prosthesis. The system includes a catheter assembly including a delivery sheath capsule and a handle having an oscillating device. The capsule is configured to compressively retain the valve prosthesis during implantation. After the valve prosthesis is partially exposed during implantation, the oscillating device can create a vibratory motion to reduce the friction between the valve prosthesis and the delivery sheath capsule in order to recapture the valve prosthesis.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2020Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Jason Quill, Paul Rothstein, Thomas Secord, Byron Johnson

Publication number: 20210077258Abstract: A heart valve therapy system including a delivery device and a stented valve. The delivery device includes an outer sheath, an inner shaft, an optional hub assembly, and a plurality of tethers. In a delivery state, a stent frame of the prosthesis is crimped over the inner shaft and maintained in a compressed condition by the outer sheath. The tethers are connected to the stent frame. In a partial deployment state, the outer sheath is at least partially withdrawn, allowing the stent frame to self-expand. Tension in the tethers prevents the stent frame from rapidly expanding and optionally allowing recapture. Upon completion of the stent frame expansion, the tethers are withdrawn.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2020Publication date: March 18, 2021Applicant: Medtronic Vascular GalwayInventors: Marian Creaven, Marc Anderson, Kate Corish, Declan Costello, Niall Duffy, Joshua Dwork, John Gallagher, Patrick Griffin, Gavin Kenny, Deirdre McGowan Smyth, John Milroy, Jason Quill, Herinaina Rabarimanantsoa Jamous, Paul Rothstein, Jeffrey Sandstrom, Edmond Sheahan, Frank White
