  • Publication number: 20230293299
    Abstract: Implants, implant systems, and methods for treatment of mitral valve regurgitation and other valve diseases generally include a coaptation assist body which remains within the blood flow path as the leaflets of the valve move, the valve bodies often being relatively thin, elongate (along the blood flow path), and/or conformable structures which extend laterally from commissure to commissure, allowing the native leaflets to engage and seal against the large, opposed surfaces on either side of the valve body during the heart cycle phase when the ventricle contracts to empty that chamber of blood, and allows blood to pass around the valve body so that blood flows from the atrium to the ventricle during the filling phase of the heart cycle. Separate deployment of independent anchors near each of the commissures may facilitate positioning and support of an exemplary triangular valve body, with a third anchor being deployed in the ventricle.

  • Publication number: 20230277169
    Abstract: The invention relates in some aspects to a device for use in anchoring an implant, including anchors, sutures, implants, clips, tools, lassos, and methods of anchoring among other methods. Anchors as disclosed herein could be utilized to secure a coaptation assistance device, an annuloplasty ring, an artificial valve, cardiac patch, sensor, pacemaker, or other implants. The implant could be a mitral valve ring or artificial mitral valve in some embodiments.

  • Publication number: 20230010686
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating synthetic medical data are provided. A method may include retrieving a set of authentic electronic medical records from a database. The method may further include converting the authentic set of electronic medical records to a set of numerical vectors. The method may further include training a first neural network based on a random noise generator sample, the first neural network outputting synthetic electronic medical records. The method may further include training a second neural network based on the output synthetic electronic medical records and the set of numerical vectors, the second neural network outputting a loss distribution indicating whether the output synthetic electronic medical records are classified as authentic or synthetic.
