Publication number: 20210085494Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to devices and methods for treating tricuspid valve insufficiency. For example, in some embodiments, a tricuspid insufficiency treatment device is provided, and includes a tubular member configured for implantation within a vena cava of a patient, where the tubular member is formed with a sidewall. The device also includes at least two (2) valves arranged circumferentially along the sidewall, where each valve comprises an opening formed in the sidewall, and a blocking member arranged to block and unblock a respective opening of the plurality of openings. Each blocking member comprises a flap or cover pivotally attached at or proximate a portion of a respective opening and arranged to block and unblock the opening during ventricular systole and ventricular diastole, respectively, such that the opening is unblocked in a direction opposite to the attachment of the flap or cover.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2020Publication date: March 25, 2021Applicant: Innoventric Ltd.Inventors: Ori NISSAN, Amir DANINO, Yair PICHERSKY

Patent number: 9993360Abstract: An endovascular system (10) includes an endovascular implant (20) and a delivery tool (30). The implant (20) is configured to assume a radially-compressed delivery state, and a radially-expanded deployment state. The delivery tool (30) includes a proximal main delivery catheter (36), having a distal portion (46) in which the implant (20) is disposed while in the radially-compressed delivery state; and a distal restraining assembly (50), which includes a restraining-assembly tubular shaft (52) disposed distal to the proximal main delivery catheter (36). The distal restraining assembly (50) is configured to assume an engaged state, in which the distal restraining assembly (50) prevents proximal displacement of the implant (20) relative to the distal restraining assembly (50), and a disengaged state, in which the distal restraining assembly (50) allows proximal displacement of the implant (20) relative to the distal restraining assembly (50). Other embodiments are also described.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2014Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: ENDOSPAN LTD.Inventors: Alon Shalev, Yaniv Marmur, Ori Nissan, Nir Shalom Nae
