Abstract: A replacement heart valve assembly where the valve is loaded into the catheter distally, and separately from the stent. The valve has a locking member and the stent has a locking channel. Once in the expanded position, the valve is pulled towards the stent until the locking member is engaged with the locking channel.

Abstract: A packaging system for storing a deployable medical device within a sterilized environment includes a sealed container; a tray disposed within the sealed container; a catheter assembly comprising at least one sheath; a deployable medical device engaged with the catheter assembly; and a sterilizing fluid. The tray comprises a first chamber; a second chamber in fluid communication therewith; and at least a third chamber between the first and second chambers, and in fluid communication with at least the first chamber. The deployable medical device is disposed within the tray in a storage configuration, in which the deployable medical device is disposed within the first chamber in a partially deployed state distally from a distal end of the catheter and the catheter assembly spans between the first chamber and the second chamber. The sterilizing fluid contacts at least a part of the deployable medical device in the storage configuration.

Abstract: A heart valve replacement device comprises a stent having a first end, a second end, an outer surface, and an inner surface, the inner surface defining a lumen; and a valve disposed within the lumen of the stent, the valve formed from a single sheet of tissue, the valve having an outer surface, an inner surface, and a thickness between the outer surface and the inner surface, the valve comprising at least three leaflets, wherein, the valve is attached to the stent with minimal sutures. The leaflets are formed with a curvilinear surface.

Abstract: A heart valve assembly for endovascular heart repair, where the valve is in an inverted position relative to the stent to reduce the diameter of the device for delivery and deployment. The heart valve assembly has an expandable stent and a valve. The valve having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the valve connected to the distal end of the expandable stent, wherein the valve extends distally from the distal end of the expandable stent.
