Patent number: 12239535Abstract: A delivery system includes an elongated shaft component, a self-expanding valve prosthesis, at least one cinching suture, and a radially-expandable sleeve. The valve prosthesis is disposed over a distal portion of the elongated shaft component and includes a compressed configuration for delivery and an expanded configuration for deployment. The at least one cinching suture removably couples the valve prosthesis to the elongated shaft component and radially compresses the valve prosthesis into the compressed configuration for delivery. The sleeve is secured to and encircles an outer surface of the valve prosthesis. The sleeve has a delivery state with a first diameter extending over a full length of the valve prosthesis in the compressed configuration and a deployed state with a greater second diameter extending over the full length of the valve prosthesis in the expanded configuration. The sleeve is configured to prevent paravalvular leakage in situ in the deployed state.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2023Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: MEDTRONIC VASCULAR, INC.Inventors: Paul Rothstein, Marc Anderson, Laura Ruddy, Grainne Carroll

Publication number: 20250061161Abstract: A QR code proxy system allows digital dispenser assets associated with QR codes on a plurality of dispensers to be externally controlled. The specific digital dispenser assets associated with static QR codes can be changed without needing to change the QR codes themselves by editing a routing map. In some embodiments, the system may include a content/media routing map and a proxy engine. The content/media routing map establishes an association between a plurality of dispensers each with a respective QR code and a plurality of digital dispenser assets. The proxy engine determines an identity of a dispenser based on its QR code and responds with one or more digital dispenser assets based on the association established by the content/media routing map.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2022Publication date: February 20, 2025Inventors: Aaron TURNER, Marc ANDERSON, Edward EBELING, Keith M. RIPPERDA, Prashanth SANKARAN

Publication number: 20250009508Abstract: A heart valve therapy system includes 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: September 16, 2024Publication date: January 9, 2025Applicant: 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
