Publication number: 20240164896Abstract: A tunable fixation device for fixation of heart valve leaflets includes a central assembly, an arm moveably coupled to the central assembly, and a gripping element moveable relative to the arm to capture a native leaflet therebetween. The arm has a body portion and a wire frame coupled to the body portion. The wire frame has a first and second wire segment, and an interconnection portion interconnecting the first and second wire segments. The interconnection portion is slidingly engaged with the body portion. The first wire segment is configured to deform upon force applied to the second wire segment by sliding movement of the interconnection portion relative to the body portion, and the second wire segment is configured to deform upon force applied to the first wire segment by sliding movement of the interconnection portion relative to the body portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2023Publication date: May 23, 2024Applicant: Evalve, Inc.Inventors: Chad J.

Publication number: 20230329867Abstract: Medical device delivery system including a catheter, handle, lock line handle, and lock line. The catheter includes a proximal end portion and a distal end portion. The handle is coupled to the proximal end portion of the catheter. The lock line handle is releasably coupled to the handle and actuatable between a lock position and an unlock position. The lock line includes a first end portion fixedly coupled to the lock line handle, a second end portion releasably coupled to the lock line handle, and an intermediate portion configured to be releasably coupled to the medical implant disposed proximate the distal end portion of the catheter.

Patent number: 9144663Abstract: Devices and methods for delivering a sealing element post-implantation of valve prosthesis that functions to occlude or fill gaps present between the valve prosthesis and the native valve tissue, thereby reducing, minimizing, or eliminating leaks there through. In a first method, an injectable material is placed within a native valve sinus to form a sealing element that presses native valve leaflets against an outer surface of a heart valve prosthesis. In a second method, an injectable sealing material or a preformed annular sealing component is positioned between the outer surface or perimeter of a heart valve prosthesis and native heart valve tissue. In a third method, a preformed sealing element or component is placed within a heart valve prosthesis to press the prosthesis against native valve tissue.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2012Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Sarah Ahlberg, Cynthia Clague, Susan Peterson, Scott Mosher, Karan Punga

Patent number: 9132007Abstract: A valve prosthesis includes one or more anti-paravalvular leakage components coupled to a stent. The anti-paravalvular leakage component may encircle the stent and include a radially expandable control ring coupled to an unattached edge of a flexible skirt which extends the unattached skirt edge outwardly away from the stent and against the native heart valve to form an open-ended annular pocket around the stent. The anti-paravalvular leakage component may encircle the perimeter of the stent and include a flexible skirt having opposing edges coupled to the stent to form one or more enclosed compartments around the stent. Each compartment includes a one-way valve which allows for blood flow into the compartment but prevents blood flow out of the compartment. The anti-paravalvular leakage component may be at least one flap that is coupled to an inner surface of the stent and formed of a flexible material moveable by blood flow.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2013Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: Medtronic CV Luxembourg S.a.r.l.Inventors: Ana Menk, Scott Mosher
