  • Steerable delivery system for replacement mitral valve and methods of use
    Patent number: 10350066
    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are described herein to provide improved steerability for delivering a prosthesis to a body location, for example, for delivering a replacement mitral valve to a native mitral valve location. A delivery component can have a plurality of slots that provide for desired bending of the delivery component, particularly compound bending of the delivery component that can facilitate steering of the delivery component in three dimensions.

  • Prosthesis, delivery device and methods of use
    Patent number: 9687345
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a prosthesis and delivery device, as well as methods of use. The delivery device can be composed of an inner retention assembly configured to carry an expandable prosthesis to an in situ target location. The inner retention assembly can slide within an outer elongate hollow member which can cover the expandable prosthesis. The outer elongate hollow member can further be longitudinally collapsed into a receiving member located at the distal end of the outer elongate hollow member.
