Publication number: 20220280292Abstract: A delivery system for side-delivery of a prosthetic valve includes a compression device defining a lumen having a first perimeter at a proximal end that is larger than a second perimeter of the lumen at a distal end. A loading device is coupleable to the compression device and defines a lumen having substantially the second perimeter. A distal end of the loading device includes a first gate that is movable between an open state and a closed state to at least partially occlude the lumen of the loading device. A delivery device defines a lumen having substantially the second perimeter. A proximal end of the delivery device is coupleable to the distal end of the loading device and includes a second gate movable between an open state and a closed state to at least partially occlude the lumen of the delivery device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2022Publication date: September 8, 2022Applicant: VDyne, Inc.Inventors: Robert VIDLUND, Mark CHRISTIANSON, Neelakantan SAIKRISHNAN, Scott KRAMER, Lucas HARDER, David HOLTAN, Craig EKVALL, Cameron VIDLUND

Publication number: 20220280296Abstract: A side-deliverable prosthetic heart valve includes an outer frame and a flow control component. The outer frame has a supra-annular region, a subannular region, and a transannular region therebetween. The flow control component is mounted to the outer frame such that at least a portion of the flow control component is disposed in the transannular region. The prosthetic valve has a delivery configuration for side-delivery via a delivery catheter and is expandable when the prosthetic valve is released from the delivery catheter. The subannular region of the outer frame is disposable in a first configuration as the prosthetic valve is seated in an annulus of a native heart valve and is transitionable to a second configuration after the prosthetic valve is seated in the annulus of the native heart valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2022Publication date: September 8, 2022Applicant: VDyne, Inc.Inventors: Mark CHRISTIANSON, Robert VIDLUND, Neelakantan SAIKRISHNAN, Scott KRAMER, Chad PERRIN, Lucas HARDER
