  • Patent number: 12239535
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20250061161
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20250009508
    Abstract: 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 In a partial deployment state, the outer sheath is at least partially withdrawn, allowing the stent frame to self-expand.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.

    Abstract: A transcatheter heart valve implant apparatus includes a frame extending along a frame axis and radially expandable between a first position and a second position. The frame includes a wire extending circumferentially around the frame axis to define a lumen. The wire includes a first peak portion including a first amplitude measured from a plane perpendicular to the frame axis, a second peak portion including a second amplitude measured from the plane, and a valley portion attaching the first peak portion and the second peak portion. The first amplitude is different than the second amplitude, and the first peak portion and the second peak portion are positioned on a first side of the plane and the valley portion is positioned on an opposing second side of the plane. A cover extends along the frame axis and covers an outer radial side of the wire opposite the lumen.

  • Publication number: 20240195890
    Abstract: Systems and methods may be provided for generating applications that may be agile, personalized, quickly delivered, and capable of being seamlessly integrated across an organization. The behavior and functionality of the applications (e.g., user interfaces therein) may be tailored specifically to individual users in response to learned user preferences. Consequently, these dynamic user experience (UX) applications may be rapidly deployed and capable of providing a satisfactory yet complete user experience across one or more applications. The methods and systems may include receiving a user objective, selecting a path associated with one or more steps, generating a dynamic UX application based on the steps, transmitting the dynamic UX application to the user, and displaying the dynamic UX application.

  • Patent number: 11864998
    Abstract: A delivery device for implanting a prosthetic heart valve. The device includes an inner shaft assembly, an outer sheath and a connector assembly. The inner shaft assembly defines a guide wire lumen. The outer sheath is slidably received over the inner shaft assembly, and forms an exit port proximate a distal end thereof. The connector assembly establishes a guide wire passageway between the guide wire lumen and the exit port. The connector assembly is configured to permit sliding movement of the outer sheath relative to the inner shaft assembly when deploying the prosthetic heart valve. The connector assembly can include first and second tubes that are slidable relative to one another in facilitating movement of the outer sheath relative to the inner shaft assembly.
