Patent number: 11464946Abstract: Embodiments hereof relate to methods of delivering a valve prosthesis to an annulus of a native valve of a heart, the native valve having chordae tendineae. A chordae management catheter is positioned within a ventricle of the heart, the chordae management catheter having a displacement component at a distal end thereof. The displacement component has an annular shape and defines a central lumen therethrough. The displacement component is radially expanded to push chordae tendineae within the ventricle radially outward. A valve delivery system is introduced into the ventricle of the heart via a ventricular wall of the heart. The valve delivery system has the valve prosthesis at a distal portion thereof. The valve delivery system is advanced through the central lumen of the radially expanded displacement component towards the annulus of the native valve of the heart. The valve prosthesis is deployed into apposition with the annulus of the native valve.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2019Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: MEDTRONIC VASCULAR, INC.Inventors: Paul Devereux, Paraic Frisby, Frank White, Tomas Kitt, Marc Anderson, Grainne Carroll, Ciaran McGuinness, Tim Jones, Patrick Griffin

Publication number: 20220286531Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2022Publication date: September 8, 2022Inventors: John M.

Patent number: 11351027Abstract: A system for repairing a defective heart valve. The system includes a delivery device, a balloon and a prosthetic heart valve. The delivery device includes an inner shaft assembly and a delivery sheath assembly. The delivery sheath assembly provides a capsule terminating at a distal end. The prosthesis includes a stent carrying a prosthetic valve. In a delivery state, the capsule maintains the prosthesis in a collapsed condition over the inner shaft assembly, and the balloon is in a deflated arrangement radially between the prosthetic heart valve and the capsule. In a deployment state, at least a portion of the balloon and at least a portion of the prosthetic heart valve are distal the capsule. Further, the balloon is inflated and surrounds an exterior of at least a portion of the prosthetic heart valve.

Publication number: 20210077258Abstract: A heart valve therapy system including 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.
