  • Publication number: 20190321170
    Abstract: A surgical heart valve includes a non-collapsible frame having features that enable the frame to expand from an initial condition having a first diameter to an expanded condition having a second diameter larger than the first diameter after the valve has been implanted within a patient. The frame may include members that prevent the unintended expansion of the frame, such as during implantation, and members that prevent the over-expansion of the frame. The surgical heart valve further includes a valve assembly connected to the frame and including a plurality of leaflets.

  • Patent number: 10430846
    Abstract: A platform facilitates buyers, sellers, and third parties in obtaining information related to each other's transaction histories, such as a supplier's shipment history, the types of materials typically shipped, a supplier's customers, a supplier's expertise, what materials and how much a buyer purchases, buyer and shipper reliability, similarity between buyers, similarity between suppliers, and the like. The platform aggregates data from a variety of sources, including, without limitation, customs data associated with actual import/export transactions, non-public shipper records, and facilitates the generation of reports as to the quality of buyers and suppliers, the reports relating to a variety of parameters that are associated with buyer and supplier quality.

  • Publication number: 20190099265
    Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve for replacing a native valve includes a stent extending between an inflow end and an outflow end, and a valve assembly disposed within the stent. The prosthetic heart valve may include a supra-annular feature configured to anchor and seal the prosthetic valve above the native valve annulus and a sub-annular feature configured to anchor and seal the prosthetic valve below the native valve annulus. Each of the sub-annular feature and the supra-annular feature may be a sealing ring or a strut that extends radially outward from the stent. The prosthetic heart valve may be implanted in the patient via a sutureless approach and provide anchoring in a variety of patient populations, including those with resected native valve leaflets.

  • Publication number: 20190001023
    Abstract: Methods of preparing calcification-resistant bioprosthetic tissue include providing fresh biological tissue, cross-linking the tissue, treating the cross-linked tissue with an alcohol for a time sufficient to allow the alcohol to be diffused into the tissue, and treating the alcohol-treated fixed tissue with a polyol for a time sufficient to allow fluid in the tissue to be replaced by the polyol. The methods may include sterilizing the cross-linked tissue in a solution including propylene oxide or peracetic acid either before or after the alcohol treatment step; or drying the alcohol/polyol-treated, cross-linked tissue, sterilizing the dried tissue by exposure to ethylene oxide or peracetic acid, and storing the sterilized tissue in a dry, ambient environment. The treated tissue may be a tissue component for a bioprosthetic valve, a valve assembly for a bioprosthetic valve or a fully assembled bioprosthetic valve incorporating the tissue.

  • Patent number: 9737264
    Abstract: An implantable device system includes an implantable device, such as an annuloplasty ring, for controlling at least a shape and/or size of a heart valve annulus. The implantable device includes an arcuate body and an adjustment system configured to adjust the shape and/or size of the arcuate body. An adjustment tool is configured to be coupled to the adjustment system so that the adjustment tool can be used to activate and control adjustment of the arcuate body. A sensor system is configured to be coupled to the implantable device. The sensor system includes a first sensor configured to measure physiological data at an inflow portion of the valve annulus when the implantable device is implanted into the valve annulus, and a second sensor configured to measure physiological data at an outflow portion of the valve annulus when the implantable device is implanted into the valve annulus.
