Publication number: 20230100094Abstract: The invention relates to a catheter for the transvascular implantation of prosthetic heart valves, in particular including self-expanding anchorage supports (10), which allow a minimally invasive implantation of prosthetic heart valves. The aim of the invention is to reduce the risk to the patient during the implantation. To achieve this, according to the invention a prosthetic heart valve with anchorage supports is temporarily housed in a folded form in a cartridge-type unit (4) during the implantation. The cartridge-type unit can be fixed on the proximal end of a guide system (1), which includes a flexible region (9) that can be guided through the aorta.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Applicant: JenaValve Technology, Inc.Inventors: Rudiger OTTMA, Robert MOSZNER, Hans-Reiner FIGULLA, Markus FERRARI, Christoph DAMM

Publication number: 20220409211Abstract: The invention relates to a novel multivalent atrial appendage occluder of hybrid design based on two different atrial appendage occluders, one having a proximal disk-shaped cover and a second version without a proximal cover. The two occluder variants each provide relevant application solutions by themselves. The invention further relates to multiple specified, universal devices composed of predominantly rotationally symmetrical individual parts for producing these different LAA occluders (LAA=Left Atrial Appendage) which are graded in different sizes, for the interventional, catheter-based closure of the left atrial appendage. Axially and radially oriented hooks support the secure and gentle anchoring of the occluders 1 in the retaining area of the atrial appendage 26. As a result, the use of substantially smaller access ports in the interventional application is possible.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2020Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventor: Robert Moszner

Patent number: 10492906Abstract: A catheter is described for the transvascular implantation of prosthetic heart valves, e.g., including self-expanding anchorage supports, to reduce the risk to the patient during the implantation. Accordingly, a prosthetic heart valve with anchorage supports is temporarily housed in a folded form in a cartridge-type unit during the implantation. The cartridge-type unit can be fixed on the proximal end of a guide system, which includes a flexible region that can be guided through the aorta. Actuating elements run through the interior of the hollow guide system, permitting sections of the cartridge-type unit to be displaced radially about their longitudinal axis and/or laterally in a proximal direction, thus allowing individual sections of the anchorage support and the associated prosthetic heart valve to be sequentially released.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2017Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: JenaValve Technology, Inc.Inventors: Rüdiger Ottma, Robert Moszner, Hans-Reiner Figulla, Markus Ferrari, Christoph Damm

Patent number: RE46705Abstract: A self-expanding occlusion device for occluding an atrial auricula in the heart of a patient includes a braiding of thin wires or threads given a suitable profile form by means of a molding and heat treatment procedure. The occlusion device includes a proximal retention area, a distal retention area and a center section. The occlusion device holds securely in the atrial auricula of a patient in its expanded and implanted state without damaging the tissue of the patient's heart. The proximal retention area has a flanged area which positions at the inner walls of the atrial auricula when the occlusion device is in an expanded state in the atrial auricula to be occluded, and forms a force-fit connection with the inner walls of the atrial auricula, thus holding the implanted and expanded occlusion device in the atrial auricula, whereby the distal retention area closes the opening in the atrial auricula.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2014Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: Occlutech Holding AGInventors: Hans Reiner Figulla, Friedrich Moszner, Robert Moszner, Rüdiger Ottma, Christopf Damm, Susann Klebon
