Patent number: 11660186Abstract: A method of assembling a prosthetic heart valve includes providing a collapsible and expandable stent having an annulus section and an aortic section. The annulus section has a first diameter in a relaxed condition and a second diameter less than the first diameter in a collapsed condition. A constraint is applied to the stent to constrain the annulus section to a predetermined diameter between the first and second diameters. Applying a cuff and/or a plurality of leaflets to the stent in the constrained condition enables less material to be used. The resultant prosthetic valve is therefore able to be collapsed to a smaller diameter for introduction into a patient.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2019Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc.Inventors: Peter N. Braido, Daniel Coyle, Mary Johnson, Julia Ann Schraut, Ryan Buesseler, Jacob John Daly

Patent number: 10363131Abstract: A method of implanting a stented device in a cardiovascular system of a mammalian subject includes guiding a delivery device that has an anchoring device connected to a distal end thereof within the cardiovascular system to a target location. The anchoring device has a body and a mooring feature extending from the body. The anchoring device is anchored at the target location by penetrating tissue at the target location with the mooring feature. The mooring feature is configured to anchor the body to the tissue when penetrated therein. The stented device is then guided through the cardiovascular system to the target location and deployed such that a stent of the stented device engages the anchoring device so as to restrict movement of the stented device within the cardiovascular system.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2017Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc.Inventors: Tracee Eidenschink, Ryan Buesseler, Sounthara Khouengboua

Patent number: 8170692Abstract: An implant tool for use with an endocardial or other implantable lead having an extendable/retractable active fixation tip includes a housing, a shaft rotatably supported by the housing, and a shaft rotation mechanism for rotating the shaft through a predetermined angular travel. The shaft includes a lead attachment portion for selectively coupling a lead to the shaft such that the lead is rotatable with the shaft. The implant tool may include a control tab slidably supported by the housing, wherein longitudinal movement of the control tab actuates the shaft rotation mechanism. The shaft rotation mechanism may include a gear train, an electric motor, a double acting spring mechanism, or a retractable tape wound around the shaft. The gear train includes an input member coupled to the control tab and an output gear coupled to the shaft. The input member meshes with an input gear supported by the housing.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2010Date of Patent: May 1, 2012Assignee: Pacesetter, Inc.Inventors: Frank Truong, Virote Indravudh, Shimul Sengupta, Jayaram Sundararajan, Elizabeth Nee, Ryan Buesseler

Patent number: 7540043Abstract: This patent document discusses assemblies and methods for transferring a subject from a first surface to a second surface. In varying examples, an assembly includes a first roller and a second roller. An assembly frame rotatably supports the rollers and, in some examples, longitudinally extends from a frame first end to a frame second end. A belt is coupled to the first and second rollers in such a matter that the assembly frame is positioned, at least in part, between the rollers and surrounded by the belt. A motor, powered by a power source, is coupled to the belt via the first or second roller. In one such example, the motor is coupled with a portion of a first roller inner surface. In another example, an outer surface of one or both of the rollers include belt driving projections matable with projection receiving portions disposed on a belt underside surface.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2005Date of Patent: June 2, 2009Assignee: Regents of the University of MinnesotaInventors: Mark A. Stackley, Arthur G. Erdman, Ryan Buesseler, Shivakumar Hanubal
