Patent number: 11903826Abstract: Various features and associated advantages are described for diametrically adjustable support structures, adjustable valve structures, removable/replaceable valve structures, and associated systems and methods. Although some examples are directed toward prosthetic valve that is a conduit having a valve structure, or a “valved conduit” (e.g., used to replace a pulmonary valve and a portion of the corresponding pulmonary artery or an aortic valve and the aortic root), and other examples are directed toward prosthetic valves implanted native valve orifices (e.g., to replace an aortic or mitral valve), the features and advantages of the structures associated with those examples are interchangeable regardless of a particular application for which the examples are described.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2021Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: EDWARDS LIFESCIENCES CORPORATIONInventors: Kyle W.

Publication number: 20220168010Abstract: A catheter system for removal of occlusive material in a body lumen. The catheter system includes a catheter body, extending between a distal end and a proximal end and having a proximal portion and a distal portion. The catheter body includes a filtration section having filter media configured to permit blood to pass through the lumen of the catheter body and inhibiting occlusive material from passing out of the catheter body. The catheter system also includes a control handle coupled to the proximal portion of the catheter body and a cutter assembly having a drive mechanism operatively coupled to the control handle. The cutter assembly includes a drive mechanism and a conveyor coupled to the drive mechanism and rotatable with the drive mechanism to convey occlusive material proximally within the catheter body and through the filtration section.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2021Publication date: June 2, 2022Inventors: John M.
