Abstract: The present disclosure describes a replacement valve that can remove or lacerate the anterior mitral leaflet (or other portion of the heart) to reduce the obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT). The replacement valve can include integrated cutting features to lacerate a leaflet of a heart valve. For example, the cutting features can include blades or electrosurgical features that can cut the leaflets to reduce obstruction of the LVOT. As the cutting features are integrated components of the replacement valve, the laceration of the leaflet can follow implantation of the replacement valve and enables for clinical decisions to be made based on the degree of obstruction to the LVOT following the implantation procedure.

Abstract: Eyewear providing an interactive augmented reality experience to users in a first physical environment viewing objects in a second physical environment (e.g., X-ray effect). The second environment may be a room positioned behind a barrier, such as a wall. The user views the second environment via a sensor system moveable on the wall using a track system. As the user in the first environment moves the eyewear to face the outside surface of the wall along a line-of-sight (LOS) at a location (x, y, z), the sensor system on the track system repositions to the same location (x, y, z) on the inside surface of wall. The image captured by the sensor system in the second environment is wirelessly transmitted to the eyewear for displayed on the eyewear displays, providing the user with an X-ray effect of looking through the wall to see the objects within the other environment.
