  • Publication number: 20230380953
    Abstract: Aortic repair devices and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. An aortic repair device configured in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include a base member configured to be implanted in an aorta proximate to a diseased portion of the aorta, such as an aneurysm or dissection. The base member can direct blood flow past the diseased portion of the aorta to perfuse a portion of the aorta distal of the diseased portion. In some embodiments, one or more branch members can be coupled to the base member during the same or a separate intravascular procedure to perfuse one or more branching vessels of the patient's aorta. The branch members can be coupled to the base member via an ex situ or in situ fenestration formed through the base member.

  • Patent number: 11628063
    Abstract: Prosthetic heart valve devices for percutaneous replacement of native heart valves and associated systems and method are disclosed herein. A prosthetic heart valve device configured in accordance with a particular embodiment of the present technology can include an anchoring member having an upstream portion configured to engage with tissue on or near the annulus of the native heart valve and to deform in a non-circular shape to conform to the tissue. The device can also include a mechanically isolated valve support coupled to the anchoring member and configured to support a prosthetic valve. The device can further include an atrial extension member extending radially outward from the upstream portion of the anchoring member and which is deformable without substantially deforming the anchoring member. In some embodiments, the upstream portion of the anchoring member and the extension member may be deformed while the valve support remains sufficiently stable.

  • Publication number: 20210085462
    Abstract: Cardiac valve repair devices with coaptation members and multiple clip mechanisms and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. A cardiac valve repair device configured in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, an optional fixation member configured to engage tissue within a left atrium proximate to a native mitral valve, a coaptation member depending from the fixation member, and a plurality of clip mechanisms extending from a downstream portion of the coaptation member. The coaptation member can be positioned between the native leaflets and at least partially fill a space between the native leaflets. A first clip mechanism can engage a first portion of one of the native leaflets, and a second clip mechanism can engage another portion of the same native leaflet or an opposing native leaflet.
